The committee, consisting of Chas. A.
MarstoD, A. K. Butler and S. w. Phil.
brick, appointed at the last town meet
ing to prepare plans and get estimates OF
cost for the new bridge which the town
voted to build across the south channel,
have been making progress on the duties
assigned to then. They have had 10
their employ as engineer f. E. Green
wood and from surveys of the location
made by him have made up specifications
and plans of both the granite work and
the superstructure. 1t now seems likely
that the bridge will be 226 feet in length,
whether of one or two spans Is not as
yet decided upon. 1t does not seem
practicable to permit traffic Oh the old
bridge while the new construction is
being carried on so that, unless the work
Is done in the winter, when a crossing
may be effected on the ice, temporary
bridge will have to be built to serve I'M
til the new bridge is opened for travel.
The committee expect to be ready to re-
ceIve bids within a few days.
