 The decision in the "bridge matter" was received with considerable interest yesterday. The decision of the supreme court affrms the decree of the superior court that bridge shall be built over the Shore Line railroad at the Grand avenue extension in the annex. The town took an appeal against the bridge, but they have been beaten. But the bridge is not yet built and the situation may even yet be changed. There is no doubt but that a safe crossing of the railroad would result in a real benefit to the people of the east side, but the building of bridge at that point would prove an expensive task owing to the steep grade and when built not much of @ load could be drawn over 1t. The question not be settled even now, although the latest decision is in favor of the bridge. Ex-Gov- ernor Ingersoll said yesterday that he could not say whether the decision could be re- qsrded as final until he had time to examine 1t. There are many who believe that flag man at that point would be preferable to @ bridge of such steep grade, but the rail- road would fight such proposition, as they are opposed to any more grade crossings. IL is probable that in any event some safe cross ing will yet be provided, for the extension of tho most important thoroughfare in this sec- tion cannot be stopped, and to make the ex- tension of the bill really effective a safe crossing of the railroad must be provided.
 Work at the site for the proposed electric light factory at Barnesville bridge goes for ward rapidly. There are now three pile drivers, each run by separate portable en- zine, and one mud digger at the site. Sev- eral hundred piles have been driven, and the work is still going on. The moving of one other side of the lot was watched with inter est, the big boiler having been taken along Grand avenue on rollers.
