 To the Honorable Board of Supervisors

 GESTs:-I have the honor to report on the matter of the vork now being done by me on the road over the Ssrta Cruz Valley as follows:
 After getting on this side of the river with my team went up the river about n mile and put a temporary bridge | travel until such time Gs 1 can repair | the main bridge, which cannot be well | done until the water recedes more. In regard to the washouts on ,he Samanle- 90 and Morgan grades. at the first one on the east and which l will call No. j | I think this should be bidged with a trestle bridge of 90 feet span; at Il next one going west, No. ,. should be bridged with 8 20 foot span. Then comes the main bridge and the culyert on the roGd. think another eight foot culvert with the one l have already put | in will do Bt this place. This place l | will call No. 3. Then comes another wash0ut. I will call it No. |. IL should be bridged with a 9 foot span.
 I would recommend thGt all these l bridges be trestled and have stone butt ments. IL will cost but little more as the stone can be got about three miles from the work. and good building stone
 If wooden bents are put in toy theil swaying they will soon wear out, aud are unsafe.
 I have had some parties looking at the different kinds of work, with 6 view Of constructing 1t, and l think Il probably the cheapest wsy to have Il done.
 Imake this report in order to gel your advice in regard to taking steps to | have this work done Rs soon Gs possible
 In regard to the bridge up the river would recommend, that 1t be Iput across the creek on the west side of the valley on the county road, as parties inte0d fencing up the land where 1t IS now.
 Very respectfully submitted
 J. Nc .. ELLIOTT.
 Road Overseer.
