NEW CONNECTICUT RIVER BRIDGE
is NEARING COMPLETION.
PIankIns and Painting Now In Progress
and Structure VIII Be Ready for Use in
About Two Weeks

PIanklng and Painting Now In Progress
and Structure VIII Be Ready for Use In
About Two Weeks.
The large gang of bridgemen who have
been at work on the Connecticut river
bridge since last September finished their
labors and went from here with all their
tools and supplies Wednesday. The
bridge has taken three months longer to
put in place than was at first expected,
owing to various delays in receipt of the
material, and the extremely cold weather
OF the season. The bridge is entirely
complete with the exception of the plank
roadway and the painting, both of which
are being completed rapidly at the present
time. Shoemaker & Co., the contractors,
sub-let the painting to a firm of expert
bridge painters from Lowell, Mass. Much
to the disappointment of a large proper
ton of our citizens, the color chosen is
black The first color OF the bridge when
received was a handsome shade of red,
and most of the people think the bridge
would add more to the beauty of the
landscape had it remained that color.
The work Of painting and laying the plank
roadway was begun Monday on the New
Hampshire side and is about one-third
done. The plank are a fine quality of
Georgia pine three inches thick. The con-
tract for putting this on was let by Shoe
maker & Co. to Contractor ]. II. Wither-
bee OF our village. 1t Is now expected
the bridge will be ready to be used by
the public in about two weeks. Foreman
Westbrook and his men went from here
to Philadelphia, where 1t is understood
they are to put another bridge in place
OF about twice the size of this, as their
next job. The men have been quiet and
gentlemanly and have attended strictly
to their work during the winter. But one
accident occurred and that about three
weeks ago, caused by a plank falling and
seriously injuring one of the workmen,
who is rapidly recovering.
1t will be recalled that when the ar
rangements for the contract were being
made with the bridge committee the Bos-
ton & Maine railroad placed their bridge
architect Mr.. Snow, at the disposal of
the towns to oversee the work in its
behalf. Although Mr.. Snow has been
unable to be here more than once in two
or three weeks, it win be of interest
to know he has kept a competent bridge
engineer here every day since the first
blow was struck, whose only duty was to
see that every part of the work was
thoroughly done, entirely in accordance
with the contract. For this reason 1t
would seem that the towns have had the
advantage of the most strict and i'm
partial yet thoroughly competent, super
vision. Both Mr.. Snow and this engineer
expressed themselves of the opinion we
have one Of the most substantial and
trustworthy structures in New England.

officers of the grand lodge, both past and
present, were in attendance and speaking
enjoyed by all was INDUCED in after the
hours of labor
A fellowship meeting of the Congrega-
tional churches in this vicinity both in
New Hampshire and in Vermont was held
here Friday afternoon and evening The
attendance was good, especially in the
evening, when the church would have
seated very few more. About 50 came
from Brattleboro, 10 from Ludlow. and
smaller numbers from Claremont, Keene
and other places. Rev. A. w. Vance pas

name of DR., G. II. Gorham in the place
of Mr. Osgood but one of the 10 signers
of the nomination papers refused to sign
for the doctor, and Mr. Ryder will have no
opponent on the ballot. The call for the

There is scarcity of creamery butter.

said this week that he never had i9rov,r
the price to be as high as now. The retail
price OF best creamery butter is 35 cents.
Last year farmers got a low price for

being large, which DISCOURAGED many. The

the necessity for the increased tax that
must be raised to meet our expenses. The
fact is the number of children to be edu-
Gated is increasing faster than our grand
list. The salaries paid our teachers are
low. the average for the 40 teachers in our
schools being about 1927 per year. Our
high school numbered 1876 in the fall term
and the salaries of our high school teach
ers are only $3725. Brattleboro, with a
smaller high school than ours, has two
more teachers than we have and pays
$685. nearly 70 per cent. more in salaries
The average attendance per day of pupils
in Brattleboro-all schools-for 1904 was
49, for Rockingham 1920, or A per cent.
more than Brattleboro. The expenses of
schools in Brattleboro. not including
payments on debt, were $2S, 03, those of
Rockingham $25,77652, or 10 per cent less
than Brattleboro. The expense for Brat
tleboro per pupil was $2S.O7; per pupil for

Schools Not SO Expensive as Those in
Brattleboro.

The annual report of the school di-
rectors, in explanation of an increase of
about $1,000 in running expenses, states the
number of pupils enrolled as 1885, as
compared with 1877 last year, of which
1895 are in the Bellows Falls schools The
report is a very complete and clear state
ment of the condition of the different de-
partments. Some criticism having been
generally INDUCED in by a certain class
of voters, regarding the large expense of
the schools, leads the directors to make
the following statement, comparing with
Brattleboro:
''These figures are from the report of
the state superintendent of education just
issued, and are not given to fatter Brat
tleboro or to discredit our town, but to
show that extravaganza cannot be
charged to your committee, and to explain

Child Bros, of Pendleton, Mo-, say:
"One of our men while unloading ties
got his foot terribly crushed. We at once
sent for the doctor, who was four or five
distant. AS he was suffering great pain,
we sent him a bottle of DR.. Classes Ger.
man Penetrating Liniment, which we
kept i'll u store. Before it was used,
the Doctor came, examined and dressed
the wound and had the foot suspended
SO that ice water could drop OH it. He
left, saying that if he was careful and
followed his instructions he would be

They contain no morphine,
