of insufficient length, and the bridge
being of insufficient height to adm it
of steamboats, and other water crafts
passing it with safety.

iteration will render navigation under
it reasonably free, easy, and unob-
to,wit:
To raise said bridge to a clear
height of forty-eight feet and four
inches above the normal level of
Pool A., of the Kentucky river, and to
provide it with channel span having
a clear waterway of not less than
one hundred and fifty feet at normal
pool level.
