WALNUT GROVE BRIDGE.
Surveyor Boyd presented the follow
ing communication which he had re-
ceived from Major w H. Heuer, Corps
of Engineers, u. S. A, and which is
self-explanatory:
u. c. Boyd. County Surveyor
Dear Sir: The application to the Sec
retary of War for permission to build a
bridge across Georgiana Slough has
been referred to me for report. The
steamboat interests using this slough
oppose the construction of a bridge so
near the Sacramento River, and state
that in food stages of the river vio
lent current flows along the left bank of
the river, and that it would be very
difficult matter for boats coming down
river to turn in to Georgiana Slough
and pass through a bridge located
where proposed, without striking the
bank or a pier of the bridge. They do
not object to bridge if placed several
hundred feet down the slough.
II forward herewith a blue print of
a piece of our survey of the river in
the vicinity of Walnut Grove, and sug-
gest that you give the matter further
consideration in view of these objee-
tions, and determine whether or not
it is practicable to build the bridge at
least 800 feet (and preferably 500 to
600 feet) down the slough, away from
the nearest point of the Sacramento
River.
1.-THE steamboatmen also desire that
the draw-opening of the bridge shall
be on the Walnut Grove side (east side)
of the slough.
l shall defer making a report on the
bridge for a reasonable time, until
hear from you concerning these modi-
fications> Very respectfully,
w. II. HEUER,
Major Corps of Engineers, e. s. A.
In accordance with the suggestions
Of Major Heuer, Surveyor Boyd will
go TO Walnut Grove to-day to make the
new survey for a bridge at point at
Or below 300 feet from the juncture of
Sacramento River and Georgiana
Slough.
WILL JUNKET THIS MORNING.
Gillis, who had been talking at long
distance with Supervisor Snyder of
Yolo County reported that the Yolo
board wanted to go down the river to
investigate the ferry proposition, to
start at S O'Clock this morning. He
moved that the board proceed on the
junket at that hour.
Morrison and Jenkins objected to
taking any trip until the opinion re-
quested from the District Attorney
should be received. Morrison gave no.
tice that. even if it was decided to make
the trip, he would not go.
The motion was carried by the votes
of Curtis, Gillis and Mclaughlin, and
ellis was authorized to procure a
conveyance for the party.
TWO MISSING CLAIMS.
