DIS lOllOWSs
Logan, Iowa, July 81, 1918.
To the Honorable Board o fSuper-
visors,
Harrison County, Iowa,
Gentlemen
] wish to. call your attention to the
condition of the bridge across the
Boyer cutoff No. 2. on the north
line of Section 33, Township 70,
Range AZ. This bridge is SO low that
it is in danger each spring of being
taken out by the ice and with the
constant widening Of the ditch the
present bridge is not long enough.
1t occurs to me that the travelling
public would be as well accommodated
and a great saving made if the road
along the north line Of the N Ella,
NE Ia Section 33-78-44 be vacated
and a road in lieu thereof be loca-
ted along the north bank of the
Boyer cutoff No. 2 from the east
line Of Section 28-78-44 to the inter-
section Of Boyer cutoff No. with
the Willow creek ditch, thence west
across the Willow creek ditch, thence
south along the ditch bank to the
section line between sections 90 and
33-78-44. Therefore recommend that
the foregoing change be made.
This location would secure very
good road and would place the bridge
across the Willow creek ditch instead
