N. Gunderson FUNERAL HOME Badger 6629 1932 Winnebago St. Flat Boat in 1839 to New Bridge, 1923, Is Sauk City River History Dedication Event Recalls Old Ferry Used 84 Years Ago By WILLIAM CASSELMAN. SAUK CITY, -Dedication ceremonies over, Sauk City has bedaily fuse of the $180,000 bridge across Wisconsin river that the new structure will get for many, years. A few vacationists of the swarm of homecoming natives of the village who rallied for the dedication celebration remain, but most of them have returned to their present homes.

Several hundred men and women, many of them members of the Milwaukee and Chicago Sauk City clubs, returned to visit the scenes of their youth. P. J. R. Post, village clerk of SAUK City, has prepared a sketch of the history of the crossing of the Wisconsin riverr between the township of Roxbury and Sauk City, which shows that throughout early state history the village and bridge were bound together.

A primary purpose of the organization of the village was the inauguration of transportation across Wisconsin river at this point. Mr. Post's researches shows that the first regularly used method of crossing the river was a flat boat built by B. Haney in 1839. This craft later was purchased by C.

Harasztly. The first record found was in a deed of conveyance from Robert Bryant to Harasztly, dated Oct. 14, 1844, granting to Harasztly the right to land ferrv boats at any point on the -river without causing liability to Bryant, who in return, bound himself not to transfer a similar privilege to any other person. This ferry was operated many years. John C.

Hawley of Mazomanie worked on the boat beginning June, 1847, and wrote date of 1906 that the boat at the time of his service was under a 14 year lease to Robert Richards. Poles furnished the only motive power. By a legislative charter dated March 30, 1854, 1 the village corporation of Sauk City was created. Among the provisions of the charter was the real purpose, of the people, namely, the acquiring of funds for the construction of a levee or causeway from the east shore of the river to and across the island opposite Sauk City. Prairie du Sac having a bridge, the people of the what is now Sauk City too wanted one.

In 1858, the village received the right build a bridge, and the trustees of Sauk City were authorized to raise a sum of money to exceed $2,500 for the building of the causeway to the island and the providing of boats provide transportation for the rest of the distance. The causeway was built and the ferry connection made and City was not only legally cereated, but connected with more settled country east of the river. Soon after the bridge proper was completed in 1860, Charles Norbel held control of it. Two weeks aftor me into possession a Adrian Becker, Veteran Sauk City Bridge Tender, freshet swept away two spans. In July, 1860, Max Stingelhammer bought a share and the two spans and a draw were rebuilt.

After some adjustments in ownership, a storm river and so damaged the bridge that it had to be rebuilt. This time, steel was used in the construction by a Milwaukee firm. The cost was about $9,000. In the course of time the village took over the bridge and. in 1888 a steel bridge completely spanned the stream.

Adrian Becker was toll gatherer, with fees as follows: Double team, 50 cents; single horse conveyance, 35 pedestrians, 5 cents each. The rates were changed time to time. On Oct. 20, 1902, the sixth span from the west went down, but by Nov. 13 the bridge was in repair again.

For a week no toll was collected, but from that time until July 16, 1921, toll was taken for every crossing. On the latter date, passage was made free, and the bridge was turned over to the state highway commission. The new bridge, built by the state with the aid of Sauk City and Sauk county and Dane County and the town of Roxbury, was opened on Sept. and the old bridge was abandoned, latex being wrecked. Adrian Becker served as toll gatherer for 25 consecutive years, from March 26, 1888, or until 1913.

John Cuenen served about one then Becker returned for three years. After 1917 A. Tanutzer served until it became a free bridge. The toll for the first year of the steel bridge was $1,848 and for the last year of toll operation $10,415. Altogether $98,021 was collected.

The first day's crossings consisted of 16 teams, two single horse vehicles, one rider, one pedestrian and five cattle, for a collection of On the last day of toll operation, 276 automobiles, four motorcycles, one single horse and five pedestrians crossed, making a total toll of $45.
