5000 5000 and should 5e constructed of iron
! that the town of MaDitowoc Rapids has on hand
about $1,000 that have been raised for this bridge

| In connection with the report of
committee on roads and bridges, the
following communication of Mr. King
| holZ was read:
Gentlemen of the Board-I have desire to
! find fault with my friends of the committee on
roads and bridges, but with your permission will
add something to the report already made Un-
| stand it, the town of Manitowoc Rapids has the
| right to determine, and not the county board,
what kind of bridge shall be built; but we have
no desire to be arbitrary In the matter, and de-
sire to consult the wishes and judgment of this
| Board. If the original plan of building wooden
bridge similar to the one washed away last spring
| is adopted, the town of Manitowoc Rapids has
| sufficient money now on hand for that purpose
and would be entitled to demand of the county an
appropriation of similar amount; but as / said
| in my former report, do not think this would
| be good policy. Let us build bridge which Will
last life time and not have any further trouble.
| If my suggestions adopted 1t Will be unneces-
sary for to inform you that unless action is
taken at once the binding of the bridge will be
| delayed year. the stone abutments must be
built IN the summer season when the water Is low.
| l therefore recommend that the committee
| bridges or a special committee to be appointed
| by this Board be authorized to act with the town
Board of the town of Manltowoc Rapids IN adopt
ing plan for substantial bridge of wood or iron
| to be built upon stone butments across the Man.
| itowoc river at the Rapids, and that as soon
| SAID town shall ma Ike provision for paying for
that portion of the bridge required by law, then
said committee shall be authorized to make q
| contract on behalf of the county,
RICHARD KIINaHoLz.
Member of Committee on Bridges and Chm
