BRIDGE AGAIN ON FIRE.
The Lonsdale avenue bridge again
caught fire yesterday afternoon. but as
usual the blaze was extingushed before
any damage had been done. This bridge,
which is and has been for some time an
eyesore to the people OF that section Of
the city has been on fire on an average
OF once I'm two weeks during the past two
called upon TO make repairs because OF
these fires and now there are many who
believe the structure IS unsafe for or
dlnary travel The street department
has realized the danger for some time, so
that II has been a year since II dared To
run the steam roller over the bridge. The !
Rhode Island company would like to run |
Its ears through this street and rails are |
laid TO the bridge from each side. but in |
spectors have said thar II was unsafe for |
this. An attempt has been made in the |
courts 10 compel the railroad company |
to replace II with a stronger structure, |
but the courts have said that the city OF |
Pawtucket could not compel the company /
to build bridge because the street rail
road company wanted 20 use H.
There are plenty of people In the city
who would not feel very had II II should |
burn down some day. because 'then IL
would be replaced by new one.
