NEW YORK:
I, the undersigned County Superintendent of Highways
of the County of Suffolk, State of New York, hereby certify
that the 01d Mill Bridge over Mattituck Harbor, in the Town of
Southold, Suffolk County, New York, having a span of 25 feet or
over, which is on a town highway, is in an advanced stage of dis-
repair anu would require expenditures of large sums of money to
make said bridge safe for the travelling people and such expen-
diture would not be in the public interest, and due to the
condition of said bridge and due to changed travelling habits
said bridge has become useless and is not necessary for public
convenience and welfare and I reco~m~end abandonment of same~
