The New Bridge.

The steel bridge proper, across the
Lamoille, at the old site, was COM
pleted last Friday, with the planking
in place, and the painting completed.
The structure presents a very pleas
ing appearance, and looks substan-
tial and time-serving. The Vermont
Construction Co. of st. Adams did
the work, quite expeditiously, con-
sidering the weather, after starting,
which was somewhat delayed by the
non-arrival of material. The "back"
stone work, which belongs to the
town to do, has been done, and the
filling for the approaches should not
long hinder the bridge from being
used. There are comments still made
in regard to building this bridge.
Would it not be just as well to wait
little-ss long as the people voted
it-and see how it effects the Morris
town public?

The first one of the Boyhton Fruit
Co.'s cars of Grapes has just been re-
ceived by Chas. Z. BoynUon at Nor
risville to supply the trade in the La
noble Valley, this being one of their
ten distributing points in Vermont
and Northern New Hampshire. The
grapes shipped here this season ap-
pear to be the finest the company
has ever sent here, and the prices are
within the reach of all.
This company is now having these
grapes packed expressly for its trade,
with the Boynton Fruit Co. stamp
on the cover of each basket. ALI
these grapes come from win, yards ON
Lake Erie. Mr.. l.. b. Boy nton es-
tablished the Boynton Fruit Co. Eve
years ago, then selling only five car
loads during the season. Now it
averages a carload a day to supply
it's customers. All of the frui5 OF this
company is shipped in the latest i'm.
proved refrigerator cars and comes
through in fine shape. Mr.. Boynton
is in the West during the present sea-
son, and personally sees to the pack
ing and shipping of all the fruit
handled by the firm. Tue price is
now so low on grapes that the farm
ers buy them to eat as freely as
people in the village.

or make for those statements, some
corrections and omissions are neces-
sary in order to show me and my
statements In their proper light, and to
give to the reading public n further
knowledge of that which favor and
of that to which am opposed. am
in favor of the City of Akron owning
its own Water Works system, and to
obtain this would suggest the follow
ing, That an appraisemeIit and yalua-
tion of the Akron Water Works sys-
TEN be made; after making due al
lowances for certain clauses relative
to the franchise and other contingent
cies which may exist, offer them more
than n fair valuation in order to Sc
cure the present plant. If this offer
be refused, then l am in favor of the
city of Akron putting In its own plant,
regardless of the existing one. True
1t is that there would be neces-
sary enabling acts, legislation prelim-
mary to the purchase or building of
plants. Then we can have sufficient
water supply, engines and engine
houses and the necessary apparatus to

the city could conduct this business on
as profitable basis.
It would take pages to fully explain

pleased If given IN opportunity to say
1t. am opposed to being attacked and
being called crank and high kicker;
fool,and every thing but what is good
by certain class, for daring to ex-
press my opinion in public. II what
