HERE'S A HOWDY DO!
No New Main Street Bridge Till
Spring, and Perhaps

!
But there! What's the use of worrying?
The bridge will be here some day-per-
| haps-and when that day arrives We'll all
feel better pleased with the bridge for
having waited SO long. And then, too,
we have so much longer to experience ii e
delights of anticipation.
What's the trouble with the bridge?
Simply this: they've just begun to build
it.
Thought THE AMERICAN said it was to
be here in "a week or ten days.? No, we
didn't; we said that was what the bridge
folks wrote. But they li-er, that is,
they were mistaken. Here's the story as
told by letter received by City Clerk
Wyman from the Boston bridge works
Monday:
AS was told at the time, short while
after the bridge contract was awarded to
the Boston bridge works, and while the
abutments here were being built, the
company's works near Boston were
burned.
The company made arrangements with
a bridge manufacturing concern in
Springfield, Mass, to build the Ellsworth
bridge. From time to time the Boston
bridge works received word from the
Springfield manufacturers that the work
was progressing. Twice they wrote that
the bridge would be shipped in "a week
or ten days., and the Boston concern so
notified Ellsworth.
Last Thursday the Springfield company
failed, and then the Boston company, so
it alleges, discovered that practically
nothing had been done on the bridge.
Now the material has been forwarded to
a concern at Elmira, n. Y, and the Bos-
ton company writes: These people will,
We know, rs soon as they receive this
stock, make it up"
Ellsworth lives in hopes that the Bos-
ton bridge people are not again deceived,
and that no misfortuHe will overtalle he
Eimira manufacturers. 1t is not likely
that the bridge Will be here inside of two
months, under the most favorable con-
ditions.
At the city meeting Monday evening,
the clerk was instructed to write to the
Boston bridge works that the city had
been put to considerable expense by the
delay, and would hold the company re-
sponsible.
