While digging the trench ON Friday for
the water main that is being laid on Gar
den street, the men found a quantity of
well preserved wood near Mount Holly
avenue. AT the same time they struck a
spring, which necessitated the baling u
of a large quantity of water while the
work was going on. 1t has been learned
that the timber which was brought to the
surface is part of a bridge which many
years ago SPAWNED a stream at that point
iand which flowed down Garden street.
AT that time the neighborhood was a
meadow, and as the low lands were grad
ually filed in the bridge as it stood was
buried. There are many people in Mount
Holly who were not aware of the exis-
tence of this bridge.
