the wooden approaches on either end are
each forty-eight feet long. making the
total length of the bridge over 226 feet.
From the lowest point under the bridge to
the upper deck is tfty-three feet. The
deck is twenty feet wide and is provided
with strong railing on either side. The
bridge can be used for teams as well as

THE PURCHASES OF MATERIAL.

It is charged that was guilty of many
Irregularities in the purchase of material
and various other disbursements for ac-
count OF the school. On this subject
desire TO say this: At a meeting of the
board, Dec. = 1880, (see public record of
the institution, on page IL, The following
was adopted:
EcsOlUcd, that all acquisitions upon tho
auditor general for money appropriated by
the legislature for this institution shall be
signed by the president or president pro TEN.
Of this board, and that the correctness of
each individual voucher and receipt shall DO
certified TO by the superintendent of the in
stitution, etc.
You will see from the above that IL was
ordered, and tho public records Of the in
et'tution will show that the order was
never violated; that the correctness of
each individual voucher, requistiou and
receipt should be certified TO by the super
intendent of the institution.
Although during my term as treasurer
l disbursed over $500, 900, including all
the alleged irregular aud illegal payments,
as cited by Mr. McElroy, each and every
voucher, the payment OF which BIO criti-
cises, each requisition on which L drew
money, was certified as correct by him,
in accordance with the above resolution.
He also complains that funds were
drawn from the state treasury when not
needed, IN answer TO which / have TO
state that every requisition on the audi
tor-general, covering all the appropri-
ations by the state legislature while / was
treasurer Of the board, were not only
signed by the president OF the board,
Townsend North, but each and every one
was certified as correct by this same man
McElroy as superintendent.
The Free Press charges, Turner, con-
trary 90 law, furnished the brick for the
school," Against this allegation | desire
TO enter my most positive denial. never
sold the brick 10 the State School for the
Blind for a single building constructed at
that institution. McElroy knows well
enough that did not. ali the brick used
at that Institution were used by con-
tractors who Ia active competition with
builders throughout the state had secured
the job by right Of being tho lowest bid
ders. Although the contractor once hav-
ing been awarded the contract, being the
lowest bidder, and having fled satisfac-
tory bonds for the carrying out OF the
contract, would have been entitled to pur-
chase, and / would have been legally en-
titled TO sell TO such contractor any aud
all building materials, tho fact Is that
never In one single instance did sell brick.
