tai valuation of said town of Grow,

leave the bridge in an unsafe con-
dition and it is necessary that the
bridge be repaired without delay.
Wherefore your petitioners pray
for an appropriation to be made by

northeast quarter of the northeast
of the northeast quarter Of said
section No. 81, where said road cross
es Nyhus creek has by reason of
age and decay become wholly UNI
safe for travel and rendered unfit
for use, so that it is necessary that

structed, as the said road is the
principle road going east and west
through said town connecting with
the village of Sheldon, and the dis
continuance of such highway will be
a great loss and hindrance to the
public and the residents Of said
town.
That the cost of reconstructing
said bridge has been estimated by
the Supervisors of said town at $500
and exceeds 1-20 of 1 per cent of the
equalized valuation of said town,

1t is further represented that a
new bridge is required on the public
highway wholly within said town
across Shoulder creek between the

quarter of section No. So. This
bridge is required in order that any
travel may be had on said road south
from Sheldon; that said road is the
principle road leading out of said
town to the south and the building
of said bridge is necessary as the
loss of the use of said highway will
be a great hindrance to the public
and the residents of said town. That
the cost of constructing said last
mentioned bridge has been estimated
by the Supervisors of said town at
$500 and exceeds one-twentieth of
per cent of the equalized valuation
Of said town which will require the
county to furnish one-half of such
costs, the valuation of said town as
last equalized being 1904, 449.
