which is more than a of one per cent

That the said town of Lincoln has
voted to raise the sum of $1100 for the
building of said bridges, which is
more than one half of the estimated
cost of the first , named bridges, and
that providing the county Of Wood will

town board of Lincoln will endeavor
to raise enough more to make up it's
share of the cost of said bridge.
We therefore pray that the county

above named bridges and will appoint
commissioners as provided in section
