Noah and Horace Reed have got well
started on the granite work at the South
end of the bridge on Main Street. The
granite wall is s feet thick 1T the bottom
and is laid now about as higl as the pres
ent water line. Ii was necessary to build
a Golfer dam to keep the water away
IRON the work and to run a steam pump
beside, This wall was sadly needed not
only for the purpose of widening the
street at the end of the bridge but also
TO make secure the mills on that end of
the dam and the bridge itself. The old
wall was not of workmanship to be de-
pended upon with perfect confidence to
withstand spring freshets and ice jams,
and break in it would jeopardise bridge
and mills. It's quite an expensive job
but it is good one to have we'll done.
