The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1902-07-10

structlon OF this proposed public I'M
provement before being called upon
to approve of the report.
We are satisfied from the informa-
tion furnished us that it is not neces-
sary to obtain the consent Of the
voters and taxpayers by an election
before mourning an additional amount
of county Indebtedness necessary to
meet the expense for construction of
this bridge.
The bridge, when constructed will
be necessary public improvement.
1t will be more appreciated if it be
built so commodious, strong and sub
stantial, that the people can pass over
it rapidly with their horses and bur-
dens.
In view of the legislation, giving to
street railway companies the right Of
occupancy of the bridges, in certain
instances, it would seem to be a
reasonable precaution that the piers
for this bridge should be built suffi-
ciently long and of such degree of
strength and durability so as to ac-
commodate not only a wide super
structure for the bridge, but also for
any other use now authorized by law.
Now, July 9TH, 1902, it is adjudged
and appears that the bridge mentioned
in the report of viewers is necessary,
and the building of the same would
be too expensive for the adjoining
townships to bear, and it is ordered
that the report of the viewers be con-
firmed absolute, and the report of the
Grand Jury be approved, and further,
the proceeding and bridge, upon the
approval of the same by the County
Commissioners, be, and is hereby di-
rected, 10 be entered on record as a
county bridge. By The COURT.
SUGGESTIONS FROM THE COURT.
Suggested form of resolutions, to
be passed by County Commissioners,
if that body approve of the bridge
proceedings.
See R. r. Company VS.. Lawrence
County, 1913 P. S. r., l..
The following action was taken by
the County Commissioners at their
meeting held on the 9TH day Of July,
1902:
Upon motion, duly made and
seconded, it was
ReSoioed, That the proceedings for
a county bridge over the Susquehanna
river, al the village of Mifflnville, as
Of No. {, Dec. Sess.. 1900, in the
Court of Quarter Sessions of Columbia
County, and which was approved and
confirmed by the order of the court,
made July 9TH, 1902, be also approved
by the County Commissioners; and
we also further fad, and it so appears
that the said proposed bridge is
a necessity and would be too expen-
slve for the adjoining townships to
bear. Further, that a certified copy
OF this resolution be made, filed in
the Court OF Quarter Sessions, and
entered at length upon the record in
the said proceeding.
The foregoing resolution, as sug-
gested by the court, was passed
favorably by the board Of County Com
missoners at their meeting Monday.
