THE SHERIFF'S DEBUT les.
some News which Comes by Way OF
rIdgton.

Bridgton, December sheriff eleot
samuel +. Pearson was In BridQton FRI
dsy and was the subject Of considerable
discussion and much conjecture. In a
short interview obtained as he was about
to take the train tor ortland, he en-
phaticaliy denied the statement as pur-
porting to come from him, and made by
one of the leading prohibitionists, that he
would like a general expression from the
citizens regarding their choice for depu-
ty sheriff. John IL. Roes, an ex-deputy,
was and is the choice OF this prohibition
lists and few Republicans, while John
Il. Davis, the present deputy was the can
didate of four-tifths of Bridgton's voting
POPULATION, a fact subscribed to by petit
tions bearing between three and four
hundred signatures. Up to within three
weeks ago the Davis faction considered
It foregone conclusion that MIR Roes
would be appointed whether or no; but
when the petition was being irouiated
for MIR. Koes, the statement was made
that Mr.. Pearson would like an express
sion from the people, hence the John Il.
Davis petitions But on Friday, the last
hope concerning the appointment of Da-
Wis was dissipated. When Mr.. Pearson
said, "of course L shall not appoint MIR.
Davis, he was a Despeaux man. AL
through 1t was not learned that Sheriff
elect Pearson had definitely determined
upon his deputy for Bridgtop, the Davis
contingent considers 1t settled, practical
ly, that NJ +. Hoes will he appointed.

y the whole length Of the bridge to give
the proper grade"
The oommitless report emhodisq two
estimates from the commissioner OF
puhlEc works. each calling for bridge
having a roadway Of forty ieet and two
sidewalks, each six feet wide.
One estimate, calling for An expenditure
piers, new fender pier. solid nil to the
draw, and . temporary bridge to accom-
mOdase travel during the rebuilding
operations.
The other estimate calling for an ex-
psnditure OF si38. $40. is for a ; teel draw,
new fender pier, solid fill for go feet, a
pile bridge from the solid MI to the draw,
and temporary bridge.
In conversation with q repre- sentative
of the PRESS, Maj. Roessler- said, Satur-
day, he was satisfied, from the tes timony
brought out In the bearing, that new
bridge and draw are needed. While the
governments interest only relates to the
draw and the construction Of the piers,
so far as obstruction OF tide tiowage is
concerned. yet It is his opinion that the
best bridge that oan be built win, in the
end, prove the best expenditure for The
city.
de said he did not wish to be consid-
cred as being antagonistio to the interests
Of the city, but 1t was his duty as gov
eminent officer to assist In determining
the question of whether navigation Is be-
ing in any way retarded by reason OF the
construction or the bridge and draw.
vaughan's bridge Is 1914 feet long and
80 feet wide. Portland owns SS4 feet OF
Its length, including the draw. The re-
naming 490 feet belongs to the city OF
South Portland. The draw has an open.
ing of only AZ feet, and when the leaves
Of the draw ara raised the net width OF
the opening Is lesssned SIX or eiget feet,
making 1t impossible for large vessels to
pass through at certain stages Of the tide.
The public works committee recon-
mended an approximation of 200 not
for temporary repairs, as stated in yes
tsrdsy's Times, but to make beginning
of tire construction OF new bridge,
but the city council did not follow the
recommendation.

There is therefore strong probability
that the city may at any time be required
by the war department to construct a

samed by your committee that the width
OF opening would not be leas than fifty
