To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council
of the City of OwossO.
Gentemen-Your committee on ways and
means to whom was referred the making of a
contract for bridge across the Shiawassee riv-
er on Main street, respectfully reports and re-
commends that 1t be instructed TO close con-
tract with one of the bidders for a truss bridge
with a roadway of 60 feet and two 10 foot walks.
This style of bridge Is recommended for the rea-
son that we believe IL Is unsafe to put pier in
the center OF the river at the point where The
bridge Is now located, believing that the ad DIN
ing property wilt thereby be endangered. The
truss bridge which you" committee favors Is one
that has no overhead cross beams connecting,
will be a handsome structure of great strength,
and will be absolutely free from daige OF high
water or ice The bridge has two arched trusses
IL feet above the roadway at the highest point Of
the bridge, and running on curve to the road
way on both ends. The bridge will be sufficient
In size and strength for every possible contn-
gency and the work can be done for the amount
of money appropriated, including the construct
ing of abutments for the new and old bridges,
and for the removal and placing of the oil struc-
ture with such repairs on the old structure as are
necessary.
We find by consulting those most interested
that the bridge recommended will be satisfacto-
nv In every way and remove all anxiety as to q
a blockade of Ice endangering the structure or
the property. We ask that the council author
lie the committee to make such contract with
the approval by the council of the design and
prices, after proper examination OF the plans
and specifications has been made by cOmpe-
tent engineer. Geo. NJ Dewey, Jr.. +. IL Gould.
