Repairing Damages.

TRAY Ell INTERRUPTED BY THE FRESHET RE-
SUMING ITS OLD ROUTES,
The work of repairing the damages of the
tlood of March LIST has been pushed vigorous
ly and travel is again resuming its former
routes. The Citypoint bridge, which was
carried away, was opened to the public
March 18th. This pleased ali who drive be-
tween Belfast and the East Side, especially
to Searsport and Stockton Springs. Since
the flood the travel has been via. the Head
OF the Tide, increasing the distance nearly
miles. BY way of Citypoint the distance
from Custom House square to Bradman's
Corner is little more than ) miles. By the
lower bridge, when passable, the distance is
less than a mile.
The Quincy bridge is being rebuilt, but
will take some time, as they are rebuilding
10 feet of the eastern abutment of stone
The new City Government Committee on
Highways has ordered the Monroe bridge
rebuilt and work was begun yesterday
There will doubtless be a contest soon be-
fore the City Council or County Commits
sioners in regard to material changes in the
highways and bridges of that vicinity E. j.
Monroe, who lives on the Poor's Mills and
Quincy road, is building another bridge, 26
feet long, which, with short piece of road,
will take the place of the 120 foot bridge, a Il
foot bridge and a longer piece of road. OPP
ponents of this change claim that while the
change shortens the distance to Poor's Mills
it does not towards Gurneys and the city,
and that the new road and bridge cannot be
made durable on account of the nature of
the soil The route as proposed by Mr.. Mon
roe and which is partially built is as yet
private property.
The pile driver arrived last week, as re-
ported in The Journal, and work on the
lower bridge began Thursday Such good
progress was made that Saturday afternoon
1t was open to foot passengers, and but for
the storm of Monday and Tuesday it would
now be passabe for teams. AS the draw
was but little damaged the expense of re-
pairs should be much less than first esti-
mated.
The Republican journal., 1896-03-19
More Freshet News.

PALERMO. The storm here was severe, but
little damage was done in town. Gus.
Toby dam at his shingle mill was washed
away taking, small bridge.
Troy. The recent freshet did but little
damage in this town. The sluce at Cur
ningham's mill gave way, and the water
flowed over the roadway to depth which
rendered it impossible for number of days
MONROE. The Cook bridge was carried
away 10y the storm, the Mayo bridge dam
aged, the Lord bridge uncovered, and the
bridge near John Sanborns damaged. Other
bridges were damaged, but to what extent
am not able to say. Jellisons mill dam went
and the grist mill fiume was broken. Prob
ably 81 900 will cover the loss.
THoRND1KE. The mill dam, owned by
Frank Walker, formerly the property of H.
Wing, was considerably damaged by the late
freshet. 1t will require $50 to make repairs.
Sawyer & Vose had quite an amount of
wood. and about 900 feet of boards swept
away from their mill yard but the lumber
will nearly all be recovered. The bridge at
Thorndike Station was moved from its posi-
ton, but will be repaired at small cos t.
Several of the bridges in town were slightly
damaged. 1t is estimated that the cost of re-
p airs of bridges will not exceed $50
PROSPECT. Our town came out of the
freshet better than was expected. The town
has four bridges across the South Branch
stream. The G. H. Partridge bridge is gone
that is, the stone abutments, the planking
and stringers are safe-and one abutment in
the Lane bridge is gone; but the other two
bridges escaped. Then Prospect has two
bridges on the Carley stream below tide
water, and very much more bridging than
either Stockton or Searsport, the two towns
taken off from Prospect. We escaped in
part because the dams are all gone on the
main stream, and the quick water places
forced the ice along to slack water and the
ice jammed in favorable places to save all
the bridges but one. Hard ice and luck
saved the bridges this time, for most of the
bridges were under water from one to four
feet. 1t is thought that 800 will repair the
roads and bridges. Some fencing and wood
is gone-perhaps $50 worth. The rain and
then the snow coming so soon the farmers
on the stream farms have not taken account
| of their losses in fencing. Among the losers
of fences are l. F. Gould, G. FL. Partridge,
F. A. Lane, and the writer. FP.
