BELFAST BRIDGES. Street Commission
er II. M. Bennett has forwarded to State
Highway Commissioner Paul D. Sargent
his annual report on the bridges in this
city. 1t shows that Belfast has 80 bridges
over six feet long, II of which are in good
condition, II in fair condition and in poor
condition. 1t takes 1864 feet of plank to
cover these bridges, which would cost, at
the present rate of 1923 per thousand feet,
S4,51660. The lower bridge, so-called, is
1166 feet long, and requires 1880 feet to
sheath it. In addition to the bridges there
are numerous culverts and spans of less
than six feet There are $50 miles of streets
and roads, and II miles of plank sidewalk,
besides long sections of concrete and gravel
walks. Wherever practicable this year, Mr..
Bennett has replaced plank walks with
gravel or concrete when it became
necessary to rebuild.

rather sudden change from late summer
to fall. The temperature was mild in the
morning and as the day wore on it became
almost hot At noon clouds began to gather
and were of portentious backneSs 1t
looked like rain, but proved to be only a
wind squat, which filled the air with fat-
ling leaves and swept into winrows those
that had fallen Up to this time very few
leaves had fallen and many of the trees and
the lawns are still wildly green. Follow
ing the squall there was a rapid falling of
temperature and at night ice formed and
the ground was frozen. Saturday was cold
with brisk north wind blowing, and Sun
day morning there was a brief furry of
snow, followed by rain. Later the sun
struggled out, but for the most part it was
gray day and at night there was another
slight furry of snow. Monday was d
bright day with strong north wind and a
decidedly fallish temperature.
