leave to report that we examined them

The Coe bridge is 26 foot span
with Is foot roadway, the top of the
floor being 2 feet above the water
level and "a feet below the road on
either side, that the steel consists of
10 inch / beams taken from an old
bridge. There is no railing on the
bridge
The Sand Spring bridge is a 20 #.
span with a u foot road way, the
bridge being skewed so that there is
only a waterway of 81 feet. Steel
was taken from an old bridge and
plank used for flooring. In the pres
ent location there should be at least a
90 foot span. The States standard of
strength IN bridges of &c feet long re-
quires the beams to be Is inches.
