This day came c. L. Fisher and J.u-
ther Clemmons and presented to the
court petitions of citizens and tax payers
of Breckenridge county, asking the
court for an appropriation to build a
bridge across Harris Ford on the Glover
port and Bowling Green road near
Rockville. And it appers to the court
that the construction of said bridge is
probably a public necessity, therefore
upon motion and second, it is ordered
that the County Judge appoint three
commissioners, who are to be accom-
panied by the bridge commissioner and
the magistrate of the sixth district as
advisers. Said commissioners are au-
thorized, directed and empowered, il in
their sound discretion, deem a bridge
necessary, to determine the kind of
bridge and length of same, and NAV
construct same of such kind and of such
plans as they deem proper. When said
bridge is constructed, the cost of same
shall not, including approaches, exceed
$1,000. The said commissioners will
report their acts at the next term of this
court, and provisions shall be promptly
made to pay any contracts made in COM
pliance with this order. ANY work or
dered and approved by the commission.
ers, other than the cost of the bridge
proper, may be paid for by vouchers
drawn by the bridge commissioner and
countersigned by the County Judge.
The court names as commissioner to
execute this order. Robert f. Norman,
ID. n. Howard and Donnie Sheeran.
