Over That New $4,000
Bridge at York, Me.
Uncle Sam Says Navigation
Must Not Be Stopped.
Town Has Not Accepted Bridge.
New Complications Likely.

York. Me, June ACTING under or
ders from the war department Lieut..
Col. George A. linn, the engineer In
charge of this district, came here to-
day and investigated the closing to
navigation of the York river by the
failure of the town to provide for the
opening of the draw in the recently
completed $4,000 bridge He held an
hours conference with the selectmen,
town agent and their counsel and was
informed that the town had not ac-
Cepted the bridge and would not oper-
ate the drawer.
He advised them that navigation
must not be INSTRUCTED and that he
Washington authorities, who, he said
would take means to re- establish navi-
cation. Col linn examined the bridge
before returning to Portland
1t is considered likely that if the
draw is left open permanently the
county commissioners will proceed
against the town, as it forms a part
of a county highway. Developments
are expected within two or three days
on the part of the department.
The failure to provide for the opera
ton of the draw is due to the long
continued controversy between the Sc
lcctmen and the building committee, it
being set up by the former that the
action of the town in voting for the
structure was not legal The select
men refused to accept the bridge when
it was formally turned over to them
about two weeks ago. The complaint
to the department was made by the
Fiscataqua Navigation CO., of Ports
mouth, which is unable to reach an
empty barge now imprisoned above
the bridge.
