WARWICK.

NOW tudU inc CONTRACT mas been given
for the erection OF new iron bridge to
take the place OF the suspension bridge
at Natick the citizens are greatly in-
terested In the matter. and are desirous
of having temporary bridge erected SO
that travelling through the many villages
will still be direct. AS IL no temporary
bridge is built many persons daily viii
have to go distance of two or three
miles out of the way.
A plan was suggested by an ex-Road
Surveyor and an authority upon road and
bridge matters which is we'll worth the
consideration OF the council and the num-
erous tax payers throughout the town.
He said that to erect a temporary struc-
ture for few weeks would PROBABLY cost
between $1,000 and 81 400 The difficulty
could be easily avoided by running a road
from the main road by the residence of
Alfred Sherman, TO the direct road which
leads to the Central school house. Per-
sons In wishing TO drive or cross the river
would then have but about half a mile
further to 20.
The road itself could be open through
with but little expense and would be
used by many in coming and going from
Old Warwick and Apponaug, in prefer
ence to taking the main road aud driving
over the bridge. 1t would also save about
one-third Of the regular travel over the
new bridge when finished, and thus the
bridge, by not being subject to so much
wear and tear, could bs frequently re-
paired, if necessary, at less expense.
A new road would also boom building
purposes, besides an attractive thorough
fare would be added which, in time,
would prove profitable investment not
only to the taxpayers but to the public in
general

The attention OF this community
ought to be drawn to the entertainment,
which isto be given at the Grand Opera
House this evening. 1t is for the bene-
fit OF that worthy charity which is
quietly doing so much good, THE West

is to be regretted that other entertain
ments will occur at the same time, that
may possibly interfere somewhat with
its success, but as no other evening
when the Grand Opera House could be
obtained was open, it is greatly TO be
hoped that the charitably disposed
lovers of good music and fine %elocution
will make a special effort to be present
at this entertainment, and thus to aid
in its labor OF love the Home at a time
when it is SO sorely in need.
The music by the Premier Mandolin
Club" Nj. Win Day and others, and
readings by Mrs. Afford, who have de-
lighted so many, will doubtless give the
patrons a delightful evening and help
along q good work.
