II, pOODbLL.
County Land Agent
The following report was. on motion,
accepted and ordered spread upon the
record OF the proceedings OF this board
To the Honorable Board OF Supervisors
OF Houghton county.
GENTLENEN:-Concern the power OF
the board of supervisors to repair or re.
build the bridge over the Sturgeon River,
ia the township Of Chassell, at he ex-
peDse of Houghton county, beg 70 say:
Article Y. Sec. ii of the constitution of
this State is as follows: "The board of
supervisors Of each organized county
may provide for laying out highways,
constructing bridges and organizing
townships. under such restrictions and
limitations az shall be prescribed by law"
have been unable to find any statute
which would authorize the repair of the
bridge at the expense OF the county.
In the case OF "The Delta Lumber Co.
vs The Board OF Auditors and Board OF
Supervisors OF Wayne county," being
proceeding TO compel the county OF
Wayne to maintain and operate bridge
over the river Rouge. a navigahle stream
(the bridge having been built by the
county. under authority OF the legisla-
ture,) the supreme court says: "Itseems
now to be the settled policy OF this state
that the care and supervision OF all pub.
lie highways and bridges in this state
shall be in the hands OF the highway
commissioners OF the several townships
respectively, in which such highways and
bridges are situated" 1.-THE statute also
provides that it shall be the duty OF the
townships to keep in good repair, ETC.,
all public bridges within their iurisdic-
tion." II Mich. SIS and SIG.
The amendments to the statutes since
that decision was given seem to restrict
the power that counties bad mt that
time. / am OF the opinion that Hough.
ton county cannot rebuild or repair the
bridge, until authority so to do has been
had from the legislature.
Very respectfully,
A. T. STREETER,
Pros. Attorney.

tanned the following concerning a well
known Putney boy: Cadet Albert Patter-

HINSDALE, N. H.


1t was quite a shock to this community
to learn on Tuesday that James Ducey,
whose home is on Brattleboro street, died
suddenly on the morning of that day. Mr.
Ducey had not been as well as usual for a
week or two, though his symptoms were
not considered dangerous, but while max
ing some change in his clothing on the
morning named, he suddenly expired, his
death being undoubtedly due TO heart dis
ease. Mr.. Ducey was born in Waterford
county, Ireland, in 1922, and was conse
quently - years of age at the time of his
death. He emigrated to America in lS4S
and lived for time at Chesterfield Factory
(now Spofford), working on farm and in
the tannery. Later on he moved to Hins-
dale and worked for a while in the tannery
which used to stand at the corner near
lower bridge street; from the tannery he
went into the employ of the late ex-GOv-
ernor Halle and worked for many years in
the dye house connected with the mill.
For some time past he had given up the
factory and busted himself in work on the
productive farm which he owned nearly
opposite the residence of d. l.. Sanderson
and where he had lived for 81 years. Mr..
Ducey was married after coming to this
country and his wife, though his senior in
age and quite intrm, survives him. There
were no children, but two grandnephews
of his by the name of Alexander have had
a home and been brought up by these good
people, and likewise another young man
and woman, distant relatives, have had a
home under this hospitable roof. By in
dustry and economy Mr.. Ducey had ac-
cumulated a handsome property, owning
besides the home place valuable real es-
tate in the village with money in the bank,
so that he was perhaps worth more prop
erty than any other person of his nation
atty in town In private life Mr.. Ducey
was a man very much liked and respected
by everybody. Those who have lived near
him for so many years speak of him as the
kndest and most accommodating of neigh
bors, always ready and willing to do a
favor and sympathetic and kind hearted in
time of trouble and affection. While not
among the first of his nationality to settle
in Hinsdale, yet Mr. Ducey belonged to the
old stock and always chung to the teach
ings and traditions of his native land. lie
was an honest man and of course good
man and enjoyed the respect and esteem
of his fellow townsmen to a remarkable
degree and his death takes away still an
other of the older Irish residents, who, like
the late John Hanrahan, Thomas Mullen
and others, had contributed to the material
growth and prosperity of Hinsdale for the
last half century. The funeral was held
at the house Thursday morning and the
burial was at BrattlebOro
