 A tug with several boats in tow ran in- to Washington bridge, last week and badly damaged the east end, next to the draw. The draw could not be entirely closed, but sufficiently so to enable teams to get across. Bridge builders are at work putting it in order. It is about time to agitate the subject of hav- ing new bridge. The old wooden af- fair has outlived it's usefulness and should be replaced with an iron bridge of modern style. Great complaint from vessels going up and down the river is made on account of the inconvenient To- cation of the draw. All unite in saying that in new bridge it should be farther west and avoid a sharp turn near the east bank of the river. It has been sug- gested that, when new bridge is built, it start from the top of the hill on the east and strike the top of the hill on the west side, near Dea Treat Curtis's resi- dence. This would make the structure high enough to enable tugs and barges to run under and the draw would only be opened for sailing vessels. The com- missioners are no doubt ready to order a new bridge, if the matter is properly submitted to them.
