Althoueh the Levy Count, at its meet
ing Yesterday afternoon, accepted the
report Of the Sevenbh Street Bridge
committee. it does not follow that the
l,cdv is satisfied that Patrick fa'hey
the contractor. has built the bridge in
accordance with line original plans, and
therefore q majority of the members
of the court will prevent the payment
OF the balance due on Mr. Fahey's bill.
The subject occupied the attention of
the members of the court for one hour.
1t was introduced by Mr. Meggnson'
who motioned that the report be ac-
cepted. Mr.. Willis asked if it was the
intention of the court TO accept the
bridge in its present condition. Mr..
Lynn replied that it was no, ,whereupon
the report of the committee was read
and subsequently adopted, but without
the votes of Messrs. Willis, Chandler
and Elliott.
Following is the report of the conf
mittee:
