VAUGHAN'S BRIDGE MATTER
AGAIN.
The Portland Advertiser in lash eve
ning's Issue, says:
Elm a communication to morning
paper Citizen of South Portland CON-
veys the idea that South Portland can re-
fuse it's portion of vaughan's bridge and
50 escape the burdensome expense at
ttC1bu bu6rtbOs Luis ootECnRohA1hu VIA
find himself mistaken In this matter.
He says that South Portland has not
bsen ordered to build new bridge; that
is so and neither has Portland. The
order Is that the draw must be widene1.
But the bridge is old and must be re-
built. and SO Portland must In economy
put in new bridge at the same time
that It builds new draw.
"The new bridge that Portland will
build on this end will be about nine feet
higher than the old bridge. II south
Portland should refuse TO build their
end OF ths bridge there would be a break
IN the middle OF the bridge that would be
an unallowable nuisance to the travel
ling public. People coming into Port
land from the other end would have TO
climb nine feet during their passage Of
the bridge, and those travelling the other
way would have to go down the same
distance. so 1t seems that South Port
land 10 In the same position as regards
this bridge as Portland sand the annex
alton Of South Portland TO the larger
city would help the smaller city In the
matter of taxes, rather than otherwise"
