Inc people OF Geneva, Wanskuck, Tool
vile and Whistle Blair, have been doing
considerable kicking for the past month.
Inc cause OF the complaints is the delay
on the construction of the new bridge on
Charles street. Several months since the
contract Tor building this bridge, which
VIII be Of iron, with granite
foundation, was let out by contract,
ana about two months ago gang of men
went to work. They have built the
foundation and that is all. For the past
Two weeks nothing has been done. A
week ago delegation OF citizens waited
upon Alderman Mccarthy to see il he
could not use his influence to expe-
dite matters. Mr.. Mccarthy told
the delegation that he was doing
all in his power to have the work
nnlshed as soon as possible, but that the
contract for the iron work was given to a
nrm In Springfield, Mass. Mr.. Mccarthy
iurther told them that he was doing all in
his power to have city work given to firms
In the city, whom he said ought to be
given the preference and had this been
done the bridge would be open for traffic
now. BY going over this bridge it saves
about 10 minutes rice to the city.
