The special Manchester, n. H., city govern
ment committee appointed to secure plans
for bridge across the Merrimac river at
Granite street, held a conference with L. X,
Turner the welL-known Boston civil en-
gineer, who has been engaged by the city.
Mr. Turner presented a set of plans calling
for stone bridge 70 feet wide and having
seven spans the cost Of which will be about
$19G 600.
If the city decides to build the bridge the
width stated it will be necessary to widen
Granite street On the east side OF the river
two Of the Manchester corporations build
ings will have to be moved. On the west
side the houses are far enough back to alIow
of tue widening without moving more than
two. The land damage will amount to quite
a tidy sum, AMI the committee wish more
time to consider the matter. The general
sentiment seemed to favor a seventy-foot
bridge and conference will be held with
the mill officials to see what terms can be
made with them.

Important to wheeImen.

The great increase in the use of bicy.
Giles, and the growing demand for their
prompt handling, has led the New York
Central to look into the subject very
carefully, and finding that most of the
complaints of wheelmen in regard to
handling their wheels have arisen from
the delay in executing releases, ETC., has
adopted form of bicycle ticket which
provides for the transportation of wheels
on the New York Central and branches,
and also contains the release, and does
not require the signature of the owner of
the wheel.
Tickets can be procured for bicycles
when passengers buy their passage tick
cts, and they will have no more trouble
with such tickets than they have with
their passage tickets.
The minimum rate has been reduced
from % to 10 cents, and the maximum
charge made for any distance on the line
is 81 90; that is, wheel will be carried
440 miles on the New York Central for
S1.00, and for short distances the charge
will be only 10 cents: the 10 cents charge
will cover the carriage of wheel for
about IS miles, which will provide for 80
per cent. of the business, and is so slight
that large majority of wheelmen will
agree that it is liberal and satisfactory
arrangement.
