After numerous delays, conferences and
investigations, during which the select
men secured the services OF j. W. Storrs,
a consulting bridge engineer OF the Dos
ton 4 Maine railroad, the work of facing
the old abutments with concrete was
started. II is estimated that the expense
of raising the bridge and reinforcing the
abutments has already cost the power
company about 5000. Almost 800 barrels
of cement have been used in the concrete.
The entire front and sides OF each abut-
ment have been strengthened with con

vent the undermining of any part OF the
abutments. For the present gates viii
be maintained at each end OF the bridge

claimed that with the bridge IN ITS pres
