Chairman of the County Board,
Dear Sir:
Our Chairman, Mr.. Anderson, in
forms me that at recent meeting he
took up matter Of funds raised for
Oma-Dupont Bridge to the amount
of $3.50.
According to Mr.. Anderson, the
general sentiment of the County
Board was that we were entitled to
the return of the funds, as they are
now lying idle in the county treasury.
Kindly direct the proper officers
in charge, to issue a check in our
favor for the above amount.
Very truly,
Eli Sorvari, Town Clerk.
Whereas, 1t is not probable that
the fund originally known as the
Oma-Dupont Bridge Fund amounting
in all to $248935, will be needed for
some years to come and possibly
never will be needed;
1t was moved by Angst and sup
ported by Olmsted that that part of
said fand which was contributed by
the Town of 0ma, amounting to
$3.50, be returned to said town, and
That Further, The balance of ST.
1895 of said fund be and the same
hereby is transferred to the ma
chinery fund of Iron county. Motion
carried.
