new SPANS
FOR BRIDGE
READY

Last week the office OF the city en-
gineer completed the work of drafting the
plans for the new shore spans for the
Point street bridge. and the same will
be submitted to the city council at the
meeting next week for approval. Since
the matter was first taken under consid-
Grafton there have arisen legal formali-
ties that have caused delay.
It was necessary 10 obtain permission
from the warsdepartment and the harbor
commissioners TO widen the bridge and
build new piers. Both the federal and the
the state governments have now ap-
proved the new layout and the city will
commence work on one OF the most i'm
portant river improvements ordered dur
ing the past ten years.
The shore spans will be widened 10
correspond with the width OF Point street
and this wiz greatly facilitate the move
ment OF teams between Eddy and South
Water and South Main streets. Point
street being a 60-foot highway. The old
spans will be supported by temporary
timbers. and the contractors thus can
build piers and lace steel girders without
interference from teams above. Pile driv-
ing through the bridge floor probably will
cause blockades, but the probability Is
that traffic will be unobstructed during
the greater part OF the summer and fall.
a few years ago the city had negota-
tions with the Household Sewing Machine
relative 10 the purchase OF a
strip OF land 10 be used for highway pur
poses. The lot was occupied by a sub
stantial brick building, and the owners
did not care 10 disturb the manufac-
turing plant This building was damaged
by fire recently and the company notified
the city that If part Of the property Is
wanted II can be had
The approach will be Of steel with
brick arches for supporting the roadway
Of concrete and asphalt The construction
will be like that OF the bridges over the
Providence river north OF Crawford street.

MEETING OF COMMITTEE ON
AN EIGHT-H0UR DAY

I There Is n meeting scheduled for this
hfternoon at city hall in which many
city employees are greatly interested, par
aicularly those in the highway depart
ment.
The special committee on eight-hour
day for city employees will meet at p.
I'M in the Office Of the clerk OF commits
tees d. r Hayden at which time the
petition Of the men in the v%tghway de-
rartment win be considered.
I This matter OF an eight-hour day was
pconsidered last year and Il was found
that other places allowed an eight-hour
day and some paid a higher wage Some
slight increase in the hourly wage was
conceded. but II was found impractical
NO allow the full days pay for eight hours
at that time, 1t is likely that the matter
will be fully discussed at this time be-
fore the next council meeting.
