There seems now 10 be no doubt but
that the electric railroad will be able to &C
commodate the public during the two days
/ of the Valley Fair although the new iron
/ bridge will not be completed by that time
The srlectmen and Superintendent Jones
have for some time been trying to devise
some means whereby the electric cars
could cross the bridge before the main
structure was completed and several
schemes have been suggested, but they
have proved to be impracticabe. The
problem must be solved some way, how
ever as the company has six of the eight
/ cars on the north side OF the bridge, and
/ TO run but two cars from the village 10 the
/ fair grounds would certainly mean loss to
/ the company and Inconvenience TO the
crowds. 1t is believed now that the work
on the bridge will be far enough along so
/ that a temporary railroad track may be
laid on the iron girders of the bridge.
