THE Charles street bridge commission,
composed of Judges Read, Jones and
Lance, filed their report with the county
clerk last Thursday The report is adverse
to building bridge at the point designated
in the petition, as it would either add an
other dangerous crossing to those we now
have, or would necessitate heavy expense
in building an overhead crossing, which
they deemed impracticable. They recon-
mend the construction Of a steel structure
at the old Arch bridge site and the straight
ening OF the highway on this side with the
Mortified road also that gates be put in at
the Montpelier and Wells River railroad
crossing, and that the company move the
switches located near the crossing to a point
several rods above, in order to avoid
the blockading of the crossing which is
necessary al times in the present condition
of things. They also ask, If these changes
are not made within reasonable length of
time, that they may take further considera-
ton of the case.
