The difficulties between the town OF
Warwick and the Rhode Island company
in regard TO the railroad bridge at Cen
terville. The railroad company, Il seems
wanted that part OF the bridge to be
used by them TO be built in a somewhat
different way from the remainder OF II,
which would make the expense OF build
ing the bridge some several hundred dol
lars more. DR. Chagnon was the COM
mittee from the council who was ap-
pointed to look after the bridge while the
building was progressing. DR. Chagnon
could not see why the town should pay
for the special preparations necessary
for ,Ae laying of the tracks and so work
was suspended until arrangements could
be satisfactorily settled A gang OF the
company's men have begun work upon
the bridge and are placing the tmbers
to suit themselves. Heavier beams have
been placed under the side where the
cars will travel and the double planks
have also been made ready.

progressing favorably.
