j. H McKune, who had been re-
quested to inform the board as to the
status of the O'Toole bridge, said that
Mrs. O'Toole was under the impression
that a right of way had been granted to
the city for the drainage canal, and
that the condition was that the city
should keep the bridge in repair. He
had not been able to find anyone who
knew anything about the matter. Trus-
tee Devine said that he thought the
deed could be found, and if so the mat
ter could easily be ascertained.
Kent said that the lumber for the
bridge would cost about $50, and Mrs
O'Toole would haul it down if the city
would furnish it.
Devine said that the bridge is eighty
eight feet wide, and the cost of repair
ing it would be about $3.50 The city
has in one or two other cases furnished
lumber for bridges, and if it will do so
