Skowhegan Bridges.

A thorough examination of our old
covered bridges was made the past week
by George Farnham, under the direction
OF he Seleetmen. The bridge at the
West end of Water street was found to
be In an unsafe condition, the cords
being rotten. Immediately upon this
discovery the S. 6 n. Electric road was
notified to suspend crossing until further
notice. New timbers are row being put
In place. Ii lie probable that some action
will be taken In the matter at the special
town meeting to be called. The bridge
across the South channel was found In
much better condition, and it WAS esti-
mated that with an expense of from 5000
to $500 the cords could be put into con-
dition that would warrant its safety for
eight or ten years at least
In the meantime we learn the select
men intend having Railroad Commits.
sioner Chadbourne make an examination
of both bridges and will present his re.
port at the meeting also.
