Gentlemen:
Your committee appointed by this
Board at the January term, 1904, hereof
to inspect the steel bridges, at or near
Bogue Chitto station, across Bogue
Chitto river, as built by E. p. Alsbury
& Son, of Houston, Texas, beg leave to
report that we have inspected the
bridge and find the steel part, surface,
structure and sub-strncture, built and
completed according to plans and
specifications, save in few immaterial
details, but the approaches to the
bridge, on both sides, are not according
to contract, and now not ready for
travel. We recommend that the said E.
p. Alsbury & Son be paid the contract
price, less the sum of S195, to be re-
served and retained for the purpose of
putting embankment and approaches
to said bridge reasonably comfortable
for travel.
Respectfully Submitted,
j. G. BRYANT,
JOHN WALKER.

rounds in few days; / hope at your
