A SUPPORT has been placed under the weak
place in the foot bridge. 1t would seem advis-
able to give some care to our village bridges, as
the one near Fuller s shop has hole in 1t, and
the one at the north end Of Pleasant street Is,
apparently, about ready to collapse.
THE bridge remains in stdtu quo The build
ers are doing all in their power to get out the
| iron work, and 1t will probably arrive before
long They offered to have temporary bridge
| put on at their expense, but the seectmen did
| not think 1t was necessary. They propose to
| put on better bridge than they contracted for
| to compensate for the delay.
