The clerk read a communication of

was referred to the committee on roads
and bridges,
To the Hon. Chairman and Board of Supervis-
oTs of the county of Observation-Disclosures
As representative of the town of Manitowoc
Rapids, 1t becomes necessary for me to again ap-
ply to the county for assistance IN building
| bridge Our town Is unfortunately situated IN
this. that we have a number of bridges to main
tain across the Manitowoc river, none of which
can be abandoned, because they are all on high
ways leading to the city of Manltowoc and are
used much more by outside towns than our own.
We have disposition TO ind fault with this be-
cause believe W hat is for the benefit of the
surrounding towns Is also for cur benefit.
Ii is known to most of the members of this
board that the large bridge at the Rapids was
washed away by the high water last spring This
board consisting of Meesrs. cCsrty, Zander and
Noble two years ago examined this bridge and
found the same in such a bad condition that such
committee were of the opinion that 1t was not
advisable to make any extensive repairs on this
bridge as the same would have TO be rebuilt soon.
This bridge is of considerable importance and
for the convenience of the residents of the Rapids
village ard town, but for the convenience of
others.
The cost of building this bridge will exceed
considerably the amount the town of Manitowoc
Rapids should In equality pay. and considerably
more than the present law requires the town to
paw The amount necessary TO pay the portion
re1uired Of the town of Manitowoo Rapids has
been voted, raised and collected. and Is now on
hand for that purpose, and the town now asks the
county to make the necessary appropriation and
take the necessary action to secure the building
of the bridge. And l suggest that committee
cf tins board be appointed to take the matter
;.rter advisement and to report to this board to-
morrow
As a wooden bridge lasts but from TO 10 years
ii has been suggested that il would be good policy
- build an iron bridge, one which would or,tlast
the lives of the present members of this board.
1t hardly seems good policy TO spend s5,oG or
