Meeting called to order by the chair­ man. Tbe following members answered to their names at'roll call: Supe. Amory Barber, C. P. Wright, H. K. Bartholo­ mew, R. J. Beck, F. P. Axtell, W. H.

Beck moved that the Board ad­ journ until 2 o'clock p. m. Carried. MONDAY, TWO O'CLOCK P. M. Board met pursuant to adjournment. Members all present at roll call except Sup. Conn. The committee which was. appointed to act in connection with the board of highway commissioners of the town of Nunda in relation to building a new bridge across Fox river at Barreville, made the following report, to-wit: To ihe tho Board ©«8oj*r- visorsJuly meeting, A. D. 1892. The undersigned, appointed by this honor­ able body as a committee to act in con- nectiou with the board of highway com­ missioners of the town of Nunda, in said county, as required by law, in and about the matter of building a bridge across Fox rfVer in the said town of Nunda, as prayed for in a petition presented to your honorable body by said board of highway commissioners, would beg leave to report that we, your committee, met with the said board of highway commis­ sioners and organised a joint board by electing F. K. Granger as chairman and G. L. Bryant town clerk of Nunda as clerk. The joint commission as then constituted visited the location for said proposed bridge, and after f'lll and cart­ ful examination and deliberation, were unanimous in opinion that a necessity H existed for a new bridge, as represented in said petition. The necessary length of said bridge, in the opinion of the com­ mittee, will be four hundred and fifteen feet (415) feet. Your committee find on inquiry, that a good, substantial iron bridge can be built for $6,500 to $7,500 and a good, substantial wooden bridge lor $5,000 to f 0,000. As to the legal question involved your committee has made no thorough examination. From a ha-ty examination of the present statute on the subject it seems to your committee that much of the rigor of the former law is now removed and that the evident tendancy of the law is toward making the county share the expense of bnilding all large bridges in the several towns. Your committee would respect­ fully ask for further instructions from your honorable board. V .. W. P. Thompson, ' *5 ' V V John Weltzien, * 1J /\* F. K. Granger.
