Mr. Gordon had not done so nor had
he in any way threatened him with
political opposition; neither had he
urged upon him the subject of sub
marines. Mr. Loud said that when he
had learned of Mr.. GordOn's employ
ment by the Electric oBat company
he had expressed extreme regret that
Mr. Gordon had accepted employment
with the company.
Denied the Letter,
He also denied knowledge of caus-
ing a letter or telegram to be written
as testified to by Mr.. Marlborough, in
forming Mr. Gordon of his action in

Mr. Lilley, that the Electric Boat COM

Make 1t An All Iron Bridge.

No definite conclusion has been ar
rived at with reference to the new
bridge, which is in process of erection
across the Rum river south of the viii
lage. We understand it will Require
about 81, 900 in addition to the amount
already appropriated to complete a
substantial all-iron bridge, ana the
supervisors Of Princeton have ex-
pressed their willingness to shoulder
half OF that amount. We do not care
to press the matter, but it does seem
as if the county should be willing to
stand the other half, in view of the
fact that the committee of the county
commissioners acquiesced in the
change of location as originally con-
templated. To be sure the bridge can
be completed after a fashion-two-
thirds iron and one-third wood-for
the amount agreed upon in the con-
tract with the builders. But it will be
a sorry looking structure and will not
be permanent. We sincerely hope the
county commissioners will cooperate
with the town supervisors and give US
bridge that will be a credit to all
concerned. The county will not be
called upon again in the next decade
to assist in building a bridge in the
extreme south end of the county, and
the taxpayers OF the village of Prince
ton will cheerfully contribute their
share toward road and bridge i'm
prOvements elsewhere in the county.
