port as to when the Seventh street bridge across
Trout brook valley will be completed and
open for public travel:
l find, from an examination of the work,
made this day, that the foundations and
masonry for all of said bridge, is, completed;
that the erection of the trusses for the ninety
foot span is almost finished, ana, Judging
from the progress so far made, and taking
into con sideration the fact that all the
material is on the ground, | think the bridge
can and will be open for travel by the first of
February, and If the weather continues favor
able, perhaps before that time.
The plan for this work contemp plates the
paving of the roadway of the bridge with
cedar blocks. Respectfully,
