SALEM.
To the Honorable County Board of

Whereas, The Town of Salem has in
the past, IN order to accommodate pub
lie travel in said Town, been Obliged to
maintain five bridges across Rush Riv-
er;
And Whereas, On account of success
SIve Hoods in said river during recent
years, the maintenance of said bridges
imposed such enormous expense on
said Town that it was found impracti-
cable to maintain more than two
bridges across said stream;
And Whereas, Two bridges have been
constructed across said stream in said
Town in the last two years at an ex-
pense of about five thousand dollars
($5,000.00), and all other bridges across
said stream have been abandoned as
impracticable;
And Whereas, In order to make two
bridges sufficient for the accommodate
ton of public travel, it has been found
necessary to lay out and establish new
highways in said Town for the pur-
pose of directing and centralizing pub
lie travel over said two bridges;
And Whereas, In the last two years
said Town has expended in laying out
and constructing highways for this
purpose the sum of about one thousand
dollars (S1,000.00);
And Whereas, 1t has been found nee
eSSary to lay out and establish a high
way in said Town, commencing at the
northeast corner of the northwest
quarter of the northwest quarter of
