bridge, respectfully report as follows:
We met with said town board ut Hol-
iandale, Nov -, 1889. and went with
them to Christensen's Ford and Adams
vile, and examined the location for the
new bridges.
We then caused a notice to be pub
lished i'll the Chronicle and posted in the
said town, of meeting Nov. -, 1889, 10
receive bids and let the contracts.
On the last named day We again met
with said board at Hollandale, and nc.
ceived sealed bids for the rock work of
said bridges, and separate bids FIR wood
en- bridges thereon.
Had we decided 10 build wooden
bridges the total cost would have been a
little over 5000.
We, the whole committeel. let the
contract, to furnish all the material, ex-
cayate for the foundations, and build the
abutments and wings thereto, for the
bridge at Christensen'S Ford to Albert
swenson for $500.
To build one abutment and wings ut
Adamsyille to John Smith for 1925.
The committee received \ proposition
from the Chicago Bridge Company to Put
i'll two substantial iron bridges for $3.50,
which the committee accepted,
The total costs will now be Sl2I0,-
only $1,000 of which has been provided
for. The town of Moscow has agreed to
raise half OF the difference, Sl55 with the
expectation that the county will provide
the balance
We therefore recommend that an addi-
tional appropriation of $l5a be made TO
be used in constructing the said bridges
