Hamilton, July l, 1899.
The board of commissioners were in
session yesterday for a short time con-
sidering the question of road and bridge
repairs. The high water has caused con-
siderable damage to roads and bridges IN
different parts of the county. On the
east and west fork of the Bitter Root the
principal bridges have been washed out.
The bridge across the river at Hamilton
should be constructed in a far more sub
stantial manner than was the old one.
and it is probable that $40. GOO will not re-
store highways and bridges to the con-
dition they were in before destroyed by
the high water. The board adjourned
without taking decisive action in the mat
ter, and will meet again in special ses-
sion on July 6. 81
