President E. G. Smith, of the Central Yer
mont railroad, was in town Monday in
consultation with the selectmen concern
ing the two bridges that are maintained by
the railroad within the limits of the village.
The result Of the conference will be an iron
bridge to be built by the railroad company
where it crosses North Main street over
the highway bridge and an iron bridge to
be erected by the selectmen in place Of the
old wooden structure. This will give suffi-
cient height between the two structures to
enable the selectmen to raise the grade OF
the highway bridge so that there will be
ample room for the stream in times OF high
water. The officials of the railroad will
alsol put in suitable sidewalk crossings on
the bridge over the railroad on Stowe street.
This last improvement will be fully appre-
ciated when the largely increased foot
travel over this bridge comes by reason OF
the locating Of the new school building on
the east side.
