WHAT THE BRIDGE WOULD COST
Estimates for Three Locatlons-Commit-
tee Votes In Favor Of the Upper Site
Which Would Cost $4,000.

Which Would Cost $4,000.
A question demanding considerable at
tention at Bellows Falls at this time IS
that of the proposed, or needed, bridge
across the Connecticut joint meet
ing of the boards of seectmen OF Walpole
and Rockingham with the special bridge
committees of the town of Walpole ana
village of North Wapole, was held at
the office of Bolles q Bolles Saturday
afternoon, Chairman i. e. Griffin OF
the Walpole selectmen presiding. Inc
matter was freely discussed with the
representatives of two bridge companies,
and a number of bridge engineers VINO
had made preliminary examinations ana
some sketches Of structures and loca-
lions which might be used The com
mittees will have another meeting two
weeks from that day at which definite
plans will he agreed upon to present to
the annual meetings of the two towns, to
see what the voters will think best to do.
Estimates made by representatives OF
bridge companies placed the cost OF the
bridges on the different locations de-
scribed in The Phoenix last week as fol-
lows: The northernmost, extending from
Jerry OConnor's residence I'm North wal
pole to about the intersection of Williams
and Rockingham streets in Bellows Fails
was $45, 900 If two piers could be placed
in the river and $4,000 If one pier could

cation and coming into Bellows Falls
near the intersection of Canal and Rock
ingham streets would be longer and cost
about $50 600. If no piers should he put
into the river and a suspension bridge
used the cost would be $4,000, making
that prohibitive. The route from Centre
street in North Walpole, with an iron
trestle over the railroad yard and ending
near the Office of the Bellows Falls Ma
chine company was stated to cost S70-
900. The latter would have four piers
in the river and one in the Rutland rail-
road yard. These would each be % feet
in width with one six foot walk, Cthe adj
visibility of its being so narrow might be
questioned on account of the large number
of foot passengers) the whole to be Of
sufficient strength for electric cars. II
no requirement for cars was made the
cost of each structure would be about
Is per cent less.
4 motion was made after hearing all
the statements that the committee de-
eide upon the upper locality and 50 adj
wise their constituents. Attorney H. II.
Allbee stated in the interest Of the Bel
lows Falls Canal company that that com
pany had what they considered good and
sufficient reasons for obiecting strenuously
to the placing of any piers in the river
above the dam. but he refused to state
what those objections would be. The
committees decided to let their vote stand
as made for the cheapest location and to
meet again in two weeks.

cAsEIN coMPANY's NEW MANAGER.
Henry v. Durham Now on His Way from
Paris to Be Head Of the Concern.


The complications at the office of the
Casein Company of America seem to have
been cleared somewhat this week. Presi-
dent VIM. \. Hall has been here from
New York reaching Bellows Falls Sat
urday afternoon with Superintendent H.
II. Church, who had been to the New
York office. Three Of the five officials
at the head of the local works who had
handed in their designations have recon-
sidered them and returned to their places
They are II. H. Church and John Reg
nier of the local works, and Manager
Allen of the Chicago house. Those who
leave the company are Manager Gushing
Adams. A. ID. Charles. and II. A. sum
mers The Office work has largely been
transferred to New York as arranged for
Jan. list. but the mandatory is running
as usual and with about the same number
Of employees.
An appointment of a general manager
to succeed Mr.. Adams has been made
which causes much pleasure in many
circles in Bellows Falls. 1t is that of Henry
V. Durham, who has been here a number
of years as head chemist. and who has
been the Paris representative OF the COM
pany for nearly a year. He returned to
TINS country last summer and welded
Miss Florence Goodhue of Westminster
West who has been in Paris with him
since. Both young people are well and
favorably known locally and their re-
turn here within week or two is hailed
with delight. They sailed Monday.
The whole "shake-up" in the concern
seems to arise from personal differences
among those in management and pos
sibly some excuses of expenditures
which should have been curtailed earlier
The concern is valuable adjunct to the
business of Bellows Falls. and all cit
liens who have the best interests Of the
village at heart will do all they can to
nave the business a permanent one, thus
largely advancing the interests of all
varieties of business here.

Seminary Notes.

Tie basket ball game between the Brat
ucboro High school team and the Sem
mary was close and interesting The
first half the home team had things their
own way and the score was 1913. In the
second half the High school took a brace
and the final score was 22-I7 II was n
clean pretty game, but was not as fast
as the home team is capable of playing.
The features of the game were the throw
ing of eight goals from nine chances from
fouls by II. Sprague. and the refereeing
of Daniels. who was impartial. but who
was too anxious to see fouls From the
spectators standpoint the fewer fouls
called the better as pretty play is often
spoiled by the whistle 1t is hoped that
these teams can meet again at the Brat
tleboro hall as they would both give a
good account of themselves
