Mr. McCURDY:
The appropriation
asked for this year is for replanking and repainting the bridges. Many public works are in such condition that they call for continuous and extensive repairs, and it is sometimes difficult to tell exactly where to draw the line. Last year, as I have said, the amount of $12,800 was expended towards keeping this work in some sort of decent repair, and the amount asked for this year is absolutely necessary.
