If any person or persons, or mayordomos of acequias, should have to make ditches across the roads to pass the water to their fields, gardens or mills, they shall construct a bridge sufficiently wide and strong for loaded wagons or carts to pass over, so that no obstruction will be placed in the way of the mail or any other passenger, nor any of those that may have to travel over said roads with their crops or other affairs of their houses.
