a culvert 12x1S inches, which l find
is plenty large enough, and convinces
me that bridge of any sort merely
to let back water through is nom
sense. Instead Of a bridge to rot
down and keep in repair, have a cul-
vert with trap in it that will keep
the back water out.
Our road connects with the street
