DESIGN FOR A four Arch BRIDGE OF Stone AT The lake
Bden Provides 500 Feet Waterway and Says His Scheme Can Be Carried u
For Less Than $1OOOOO--SulvanS Plea For Stone Bridge

The war talk rather overshadowed the
bridge talk on the street Monday yet
there was more or less discussion of the
bridge at the lake, The veteran architect.
Elbridge Boyden, contributed his quota
to the discussion by producing plan for
a stone bridge, which 1t Is said meets the
approval of Alderman Potter, though that
gentleman has as yet carefully refrained
from committing himself to anything but
the stone bridge adopted by the city coun-
Gil of last year Mr. Boyden's bridge, a
picture Of which is given above, is de-
signed to meet the objections of those
who claim that the grade of the city's
bridge is too steep, and that it does not
give open waterway enough, as well as
those directed against the steel bridge on
account OF its alleged cost of maintenance
and lack of durability
Mr.. Boydens bridge is composed of SOL
Id stone, piers and four brick arches COW
cred with stone. Each of the arches has
l2o feet of clear waterway, giving 500 feet
In all. The piers are 12 feet thick, so that
the total length of the bridge is 536 feet.
The centre of each span is Is feet above

orator of California, and pooled their is
sues The result was that all three meas
ures passed. II. H. Bigelow could never
have got Bigelow court extended and
thereby opened up his property unless he
favored the new bridge. The Carleton
street advocates needed the help of the
Blgelow court men and the bridge men,
This is an open secret and known to all
members of the city government at that
time.
1--WE question the sincerity of many of
those who now advocate a steel bridge
The opposition to the stone bridge is di-
cantilever steel bridge, suggested by the
mayor another portion favor deck steel
bridge, called the Norcross bridge. We
do not doubt that the mayor and Orlando
w Norcross are both sincere but, we
do claim that many of those back of both
these bridges are opposed to any new
bridge being constructed either now or
hereafter at the lake"
This method Of reasoning proved con-
vincing, and every one Of the 70 members
of the club present went on record in
favor of the stone bridge against all other
plans.

be built, but not all of them wifl sign the
petition because they do business with the
contractors who are figuring on the plans
or-because they do not care to go on rec
ord for other reasons. 1t is understood
that paid canvasser is to be employed
today, and an effort is to be made to get
formidable array of signers to present
to the city council before the time comes
for decided action on the subject.
There seems to be a feeling of exhaus-
tion among the members of the city
council relative to the bridge question.
Wesley Merritt, a new member of the
council, appeared in the lobby of the com
mon council chamber last evening with a
big. photograph of a suspension bridge,
which, he said, was the first suspension
bridge ever erected in this country, and
tried to get the attention of his colleagues
to it. He was quickly surrounded and
warned to put it up and keep out of the
bridge discussion untn such time as the
subject came before the city council. He
evidently regarded the advice as good, for
he put away the picture
The action of the Wachusett Boat Club
in voting unanimously Sunday in favor of
the stone bridge, was the result of an
Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-03-08

earnest plea by Lawyer John E. Sullivan,
who is reported to have said, in substance: /:
1--WE know now what we have. We do not
know what may be left US if we allow our
selves to be carried away by the agitation
for a steel bridge. Many of us are not in
favor of a stone bridge In preference TO
one of steel. We accept the former on the
principle that half a loaf is better than
no bread. For years we have been wortS-
ing for a bridge at the lake, and were not
even given courteous leave to withdraw.
Our petitions have been ignored A few
years ago we asked the small sum Of $500
for a regatta on the Fourth of July. This
sum was refused by city government
which the same year had squandered
thousands of dollars of the eitys money
But there came a change. We saw our
opportunity and took advantage of 1t as
we had right to do. There were three
projects at the same time before the city
council. namely: The widening and exten-
sion of Carleton street, the extension of
Bigelow court, and the construction of a
bridge at the lake Neither one Of these
projects could be put through without the
aid of the Others so the three sides fol-
lowed the advice of Kearney, the sand lot

HOLY CROSS NOTES.
eaffney May Umpire for Holy Cross if He
Doesn't Join League.

Manager j. ]. Finn of the Holy Cross
base ball team has made an effort to
secure John Gaffney to umpire the col
lege games, but has not received def
mite answer Gaffney is an aspirant for
a berth on the League staff, If he
does not secure the appointment, he will
likely umpire for Holy Cross.

| the water, and the bridge is so feet wide.
Mr. BQyden has made some figures on the
cost Of construction and expresses himself
as confident that the bridge with its ap-
proaches can be built for less than $780,
900. He thinks he has discovered the
happy mean between the stone bridge with
its hump and it's limited waterway and
the steel bridges with their unsafe vi
bration and costly maintenance. He has
no manner of doubt that the causeway will
furnish all absolutely safe foundation for
the piers of his bridge. =.
The specifications for the Norcross
steel bridge are in the hands of City En-
gineer Mcclure. They will not be turned
over to Mr.. Webb until the city engineer
has had an opportunity to figure on the
probable cost of building the approaches
to the bridge from either side, about
which there seems to be difference of
opinion. sat.-
The petitions against building any
bridge at the lake made their appearance
on the street Monday, but they were not

charge, reports that there are many men
on the street who believe no bridge should

GOOD BALL PROSPECTS.
Central Massachusetts League Will Prob
ably Be Launched Saturday.


1t begins to really look as though the
proposed Central Massachusetts, Base
Ball League was to be a certainty and
a success. Several difficulties have been
encountered, but they have all been
overcome; and, at the next meeting of
those interested, to be held at Ken
nedys Hotel at 130 O'clock, Saturday
afternoon, it is expected that the league
venture will be launched.
Monday afternoon the committee APP
pointed at the first meeting week ago
last Saturday, met in the rooms of the
Spaulding & Whitman Company at "A
Front street, and there drew up a con-
stitution and bylaws There were pres
ent at the meeting: George H. Spauld-
ing Of Marlboro, Charles F. Rice of
Grafton, Charles B. McManus of West
boro, Frank ]. Bliss of Fitchburg and
Charles Camel of Milford. 1t was be-
lieved that the league should comprise
not more than eight teams; and the Sc
lection of these will be made at Satur-
days meeting. At that time also, the
constitution and rules will be an
nounced. The committee voted not to
furnish them to the press in advance of
the meeting.
