not be quite so good, but the safety of the bridge will be pro- 

 moted. The real amount of loss to the county, cannot, 

 therefore fall much short of forty thousand dollars. 



The damage sustained by some of the townships in the 

 destruction of small bridges and culverts, and in the tearing

The following list of individual losses on the several 

 inundated creeks has been principally made out from the 

 estimates furnished by the individuals themselves, or from 

 persons residing in the vicinity of the places where the losses 

 occurred. In a few instances, it is probable these estimates 

 are too high, while in others they are believed to be below the 

 amount actually sustained. The aggregate amount will vary 

 but little from the truth.
