bridges was introduced accompanied
by the favorable report of the bridge
committee. With the resolution was
an amendment to the effect that all
bridges to be built across these riv-
ers in the future shall be built and
maintained by the county and state.
Still another amendment was also
Introduced that all bridges in the
county "a feet long or over should
he county bridges. This amendment
Was rejected by vote of 25 to 4.
