It is evident that the Den- <br /> <br /> <br />ver e.nri Salt Lake Railroad spends considerable sums each year <br /> <br /> <br />for the protection of its line and bridges from damage by flood <br /> <br />waters. <br /> <br />It has been necessary for the county to make aevsral re- <br /> <br /> <br />placements of bridges in the past several years due to damage <br /> <br /> <br />by flood waters. No figures are available however, to show <br /> <br /> <br />the amount for such dmnages. <br /> <br />; <br />
