j. w. and J. II. Holmes, boiler makers,
have just completed an iron highway
bridge, and will this morning ship it to
Falrhaven, where it is to be erected in
place of one of the wooden highway bridges
in that village. The structure is entirely
of wrought iron, ffty-four feet long, thir-
teen feet roadway, uncovered, with trestle
sides five feet high. The weight ia about
SIX tons and cost SS00-but a little more
than the price of q wooden bridge. The
work was begun two weeks ago. 1t will
be erected next week. This ought to
make revolution in Vermont bridge
building. If durable, and safe iron bridges
can be had for $500 to replace the many
rickeiy, clmbrous, unsafe structures in The
STATE it would see m good economy to gel
them.
