Viewers and an engineer were appointed, and their report was filed on March 16, 1881. The estimated cost was $15.800. On June 6, 1881, Elias Morket filed a petition for an extension of the proposed road, from the south end of the bridge at Wildcat creek, south to the intersection of the line between Carroll and Clinton counties, and viewers and engineer were appointed. Assessors of benefits and damages were appointed, who filed their reports at the April term, 1881, which was approved by the board at a special session, held on May 16, 1881.

Scott and John Snyder were awarded the contract for the building of the road, at the sum of $15,783.78.


The proceedings had upon the petition of Elias Morket was such that the proposed extension was granted and the same embraced in the contract of construction. Bonds for the payment of the cost of construction had been ordered by the board, and at a special session, held on August 17. 1881, the bonds were ordered to be sold for the amount of $19,000, to run eight years at six per cent. interest.

GRAVEL ROAD LAW OF 1901.


The law of 1901 repealed all other Acts touching the matters embraced in this law. A petition, signed by fifty or more freeholders and legal voters of a township or townships contiguous to each other, filed before the board of county commissioners, would entitle them to an order for an election to be held in such township, for the purpose to determine whether the road, or roads, should be built as prayed for. If the vote was favor- able, the board so found, and proceeded as required by law to let the con- tract for building such road and to provide for the issuing of bonds in accordance with the provisions of the law.


Under this law the various townships of Carroll county, by what is known as the "gravel road township system," have built many miles of gravel roads. Bonds could not be issued to exceed four per cent. of the valuation of the taxable property of such township, and the bonds all to run twenty years, unless requested by the petitioners for a less time-how- ever, not less than ten years-to bear four and one-half per cent. interest; and all gravel road bonds non-taxable. In 1903 Deer Creek township, under the provisions of this law, built twenty-six miles of gravel roads, at the cost of $70,000. Burlington and Democrat townships jointly built thirty-two miles of gravel roads, at a cost of $58,000. Monroe township built twenty-one and one-quarter miles of gravel roads, at a cost of $29,500. Madison township built a number of miles of gravel roads, at a cost of $29,000. Washington township built six miles of macadam and four miles of gravel road. A petition is now pending for nine and one-half miles of gravel roads in Clay township. (9)

IRON BRIDGES.


Carroll county has a number of very fine bridges. Prior to the year 1868 passage across the larger streams was by ferries. As the county grew in wealth and population the importance of bridges became recognized by the people, and they were willing to be taxed for that purpose. The people demanded permanent structures and the wooden bridges were abandoned.

CARROLL COUNTY, INDIANA.


There were several wooden-covered bridges in the county, erected in the fifties, that. stood many years, and were still sound when replaced with iron structures.


The first iron bridge of importance was the bridge built across the Wabash river at Pittsburg in 1868. A survey was made by J. D. Cowden, engineer, and two assistants, J. C. Lane and John S. Case, Sr., and a report was accepted by the board of county commissioners on June 20, 1868. The report was accepted by the board, and the engineer was instructed to give notice to contractors of proposal to build a bridge, as specified by the plans on file. Separate bids were asked for the construction of the masonry and for the superstructure. On August 1, 1868, bids for the masonry were filed, and proposals for the superstructure were filed on August 3, 1868. The board of commissioners awarded the contract for the masonry to John Ball and Henry S. Mayer, of Lafayette, at $1,50 per cubic yard, which, when completed. cost $24,086.95. The board awarded the contract for the superstructure to D. H. & C. C. Morrisson, of Dayton, Ohio, which, when completed, cost $26,666.66. The bridge was six feet above high water mark. It was six hundred feet in length. Several of the piers and the north abutment have since been practically rebuilt. It has proved to be a substantial structure, and withstands the wear and tear and heavy engines that cross it.


SPRINGBOROUGH BRIDGE.


In 1869 the people of Carroll and White counties became interested in the erection of a bridge across the Tippecanoe, at Springborough. The county commissioners of the two counties met on February 9, 1870. B. F. Schemerhorn was selected to make a survey and an estimate of the cost of the proposed bridge. His first report was for a wooden bridge. In March, 1870, the boards rejected the plan of a wooden bridge and substituted an iron bridge, to be composed of three piers, the spans to be one hundred and forty feet each. Carroll county was to pay, proportionately, 695-1126, and White county. 431-1126, of the cost.


W. Winslow was awarded the contract for the superstructure at $24.50 per lineal foot, the length of the bridge to be five hundred and twelve feet. Morrison, Mitchell & Morrisson were awarded the contract for the masonry at $9.996.98.


In 1870 four similar bridges were ordered constructed, one at Middle- fork. Wildcat creek, at Morket's mill; one at Rock creek, near Rockfield. and one across Rock creek, near Woodville.

The iron bridge across the Wabash river, known as the "Case" bridge, built about twenty-five years ago, cost $80,000. About the same time the bridge across Deer creek, at Hamilton street, and the bridge at the interur- ban station, at the foot of Washington street, were built. There were other important bridges built across the Wildcat and across other streams in other parts of the county.

CHAPTER VIII.


CARROLL COUNTY OLD SETTLERS' SOCIETY-BURLINGTON OLD SETTLERS'


SOCIETY.


ORGANIZATION AND PURPOSE.


The Carroll County Old Settlers' Society was organized on the 9th of June, 1855. The society was the natural outgrowth of the habit and custom of the pioneer settlers, to meet together and exchange with each other their experiences, common to all in the early settlement of this country.


Thirty years had passed, and the county was well settled. The proposi- tion was to organize a society, the purpose of which was to collect the per- sonal recollections of those who had been residents of the county during the period of the first settlement, and to preserve them in a form that might, in after years, become a part of the history of the county. A further object was to bring together annually the people and pass a day in rehearsing past events in the lives of the early settlers and in social enjoyment.


Dr. James H. Stewart was the prime mover in this proposition, and through his efforts a call was issued and signed by fourteen old settlers requesting the citizens of Carroll county, who had settled here prior to the year 1831. to meet in Delphi on the 9th of June, 1855.


The call read as follows: "The undersigned hereby request all the citizens of Carroll county who settled here prior to the year 1831 to meet at the court house in Delphi at 10 a. m. on the 9th of June next, for the purpose of spending a social day in reviewing the scenes of the olden time, and also with a view of forming a society to perpetuate the early history of the county. All persons who have been inhabitants of this county prior to the time above named are requested before the day of meeting to reduce to writing the history, so far as they may remember it, of this county up to the Ist of January, 1831, and particularly anecdotes of the early settle- ment and incidents calculated to throw light upon the early history of the county. (Signed) Abner Robinson, W. B. Givens, A. W. Gillam, James Aldridge. Daniel Baum, Sr., ; Thomas Sterling. William McCain, J. R.
