The following communication

viz:
NallaWaN, NcDr.
To the Chairman and Board ol Super
visorS oi Custer County, Ncbr.
Honorcd Sirs:
We, the undersigned legal voters of
Custer County do petition your honor
able body to assist the village Of Gala
way i'll the maintenance of one of its
principal bridges to the extent of fur
nlsling covering of planl, for same, and
for cause say
That the village of Galloway road and
bridge fund are completely exhausted
and that said town has been visited with
destructive fire, which burned about
one-halt of the business houses, that the
town has had to contend against the ray
ages OF smallpox, Chinch bugs, grasShOp-
perS, etc, and Is not in a position to
make said repair, and at this time the
bridge Is Ill dangerous condition, and
greatly needs the repairs.
That the village has heretofore con
structed and maintained bridge on see
ton line east of the said town and out
side Of Tie village corporation, at big
expense, and now that this repairing is
much needed, we think, in Justice the
county should come to her assistance
That the bridge aforesaid, is IoN71 feet.
and is the one that is most Travelled bv
the public of all bridges in this part of
the county.
The village has four bridges to keep
up and as the amount required to re-
pair this bridge is much less than the
amount recently donated to Broken Bow
Tor similar purposes, and the further fact
that the stream across which this bridge
reaches is about three times as big and
the bIidge is three times as long as the
one repaired at the Bow, we believe that
we are not asking too much, and there
fore pray that YOU will appropriate suf-
ficient sum and set II apart for the re-
planking Of the Galloway bridge.
Moved and carried that petit
ton be granted, and that Super
visor Henry be instructed to fur
l1iSh lumber to cover the Gala
way bridge out of any lumber he
may have belonging to the
CoInty.
Moved and seconded that the
matter of the petition of A.
Fonda for liquor license be laid
over till the next meeting of the
board, and that petitioner be
permitted to rctilc and republish
his notice.
Motion carried.
Moved and carried that this
board meet i'll adjourned session
OIL June 3, 1902, and that the
matter of the petition of A.
Fonda for saloon license be made
a special order of business for
June 5th.
