Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to the Dubuque and Wisconsin Bridge Company, Dubuque, Iowa, the sum of $481.67.
