We the undersigned committee appointed to have charge of the construction .111 of a bridge across Bono creek in the town of Washburn, for which the county made an appropriation of $280.001 which amount is to be included in the, 1915 levy, beg to report that the bridge has been built in accordanoe with changed plans as recommended by this committee. The.contract for the bridge was let in accordance with original plans for. 0560.00, to Frank Johnson of Washburn, When the bridge had been partly built, your committee, made a careful examination of the location and decided to raise the abuttments two feet. This necessitated puttifig in 37/9 cu. yards of concrete at $9.00 per yard or $34.00. Your committee would therefore recommend that instead of an appro- priation'of 11�280.00 being made as in the former resolution, that half of the cost of building the bridge, be included in the levy, viz. $297.00, that the amount so appropriated and levied when made available be paid to the Town of Washburn. We further recommend that the bridge as now constructed be accepted. Dated this 23rd day of Nov. 1915. Geo. Mertz, A. P. Stone, G. I,. Catlin.
