BRIDGES IN WALDO COUNTY.

Among the many features of the
good roads movement is the plan Of
having the State or counties assume
the whole or part of the expense of
maintaining the larger bridges which
is now paid by the towns With this
in view the Legislature of 1908 passed a
resolve Chapter 11O) authorizing the
State Assessors to collect information
from the municipal officers of the sew
eral towns in regard to the bridges in
the State, giving details of construction,
condition, material, etc. Waldo county
has large number of bridges many Of
which are long and expensive to keep
in repair. There are p bridges more
than so feet long in the county, aggre-
eating about 3, 800 feet in the principal
structures, and probably as much more
in abutments and approaches. These
with the shorter bridges make an ag-
gregate of more than two miles in
bridges, abutments, etc. Following
are some particulars in regard to
bridges more than so feet long:
Belfast has bridges across the Passa-
gassawaukeag and 3 across Goose River,
with total length of 1899 feet for the
bridges and 1892 for the approaches.
The longest is the clover bridge" So
called, 1,124 feet. All are of wood
except Wiley bridge at the Head of the
Tide, which is of iron.
Burnham has iron bridges across
the Sebasticook, and of wood across
Twenty five mile stream. The iron
bridges aggregate 344 feet and the
wood 40; total approaches 425.
Frankfort has of iron and stone, go
feet long, and of wood, 50 feet; total
approaches, so feet. Both are across
Marsh stream.
Freedom has wood and stone
bridge, 300 feet, with % feet in the
approaches, across Sandy Stream.
Lincolnville has bridge so feet long,
across the Mill Stream, on the State
road
Monroe has bridges across branches
of the Marsh River. One is of wood
and stone, 90 feet long; the others, of
wood, aggregate 206 feet,
Palermo has l bridge 50 feet long,
with 10 feet in approaches, across the
Sheepscott River, on the State road.
Unity has 3 wooden bridges across
Sandy Stream, aggregating 210 feet,
with 100 in approaches.
In addition to the above there are, in
Waldo county, 1872 bridges of less than
80 feet in length, and more than 10 feet,
probably aggregating a mile Or more i'll
length. Following are the amounts APP
propriated by the various towns for
| highways and bridges in 1908, and the
