The Tramp discovered at the end OF
the Maddocks bridge an enCampment
of Indians. This bridge was built by
Hon. Luther Maddocks. now select
man of Boothbay and one of its chief
citizens. from an appropriation made
by the town. 1t is unique in its char
acter being built entirely on piline
and is very great time saver and con-
venience. It was built some 10 years
ago and in spite of the fact that some
winters there are four feet of ice work
ing upon the piling, it has never yet
needed any particular repairs. Before
it was build many of the residents of
Boothbay were not enthusiastic for its
construction. Now if it were destroyed
it would be Immediately rebuilt
Mr.. Maddocks started on the end Of
one June shutting down his factory
and taking the factory crew for the
purpose Of doing the work, and he per-
sonallv oversaw the enterprise. In II
days from the time the start was made
this long bridge. perhaps fourth of a

dy for travel
