 The Board of Supervisors of Santa Cruz county representing the electors and taxpayers of said county, respectfully repre- sent;
 That a bridge across the San ta Cruz river, at point near the mouth of Proto canyon. San ta Cruz county, is a public ne- cessity because at that point the | highway leading easterly from Nogales necessarily crosses said | river This highway is one of 1 much use and importance, the same being interstate and inter- national, leading from the Re public of Mexico to Bisbee, Douglas, etc., in Cochise county and to points in New Mexico, and to El Paso, Texas.
 During the rainy seacon, at times, it is impossible to cross the river with teams, by reason of high water and quicksand, and at all times it is difficult to effect crossing.
 That Santa Cruz county is, by reason of lack of funds, unable to construct such a bridge, suitabl one costing approxi- mately $3,OOO.OO.
 Therefore, for the reason that said highway is of such public and this county be- ing unable to bear the expense of such a bridge, the state legis- lature is respectfully asked for an appropriat tion in a sufficient to construct the same." l
