 i Engineer Inspects Bridge. l Accompanied by Selectman Will liam H. Gibney, an engineer in the employ of the Berlin Construction
 company, went over to Kensington to-
 day and inspected the bridge which spans the stream crossing PercivaT avenue near the American Paper ] Goods company plant.
 l This bridge is becoming old and
 unsteady and the town authorities are afraid to let it remain in it's present
 condition much longer, especially in ] consideration of the heavy traffic to which it is subject daily. It is prob l able that a new bridge will be erect i
 l During his inspection the engineer found that, contrary to the wishes of 1 the selectmen, it would be impossible l to tighten up the nuts on the bolts;
 for this would, undoubtely, strip the l threads on them and something i would have to be done at once in regard to putting up a new bridge. 1 .Selectman Gibney is inclined to the 1 opinion that a very substantial bridge should span this stream for many 1 heavy automobile trucks pass over
 this road frequently and there is a :! danger of their falling through. 1 The selectmen are aware of the 1 fact that there are other bridges in 1 town that need repairs, but with con- l sideration of the present condition ! of the treasury, they are deliberating for the purpose of ascertaining where 1 the money can be put to the best I advantage.
