KENNE5Ec BRIDGE REPAIRS
Work Will Be Commenced As Soon
As Material Arrives

The material to be used in the re-
pairs of the Kennebec bridge, which
work was provided for at the last
meeting of the city council, was or
dered Wednesday and operations on
the bridge will be commenced as soon
as the material arrives. Mayor New
bert said Wednesday afternoon in
speaking of the repairing of the
bridge, that it is expected that the
work will be commenced in about three
weeks. The first work to be done will
be that which the Lewiston Augusta &
Waterville Street Railway will do in
the way OF relaying it strack across
the structure. Steel 1 beams will be
laid underneath the track instead of
wooden stringers as at present and
they will cary heavy rail making
the track very durable and at the same
time adding much to the stiffness of
the bridge. The railroad company ex-
poets to complete its part of the work
in a day and night.
The timber to be used by the city in
repairing the bridge will be long leaf
Georgia pine without sap. The string
ers will require 66 pieces 5x1G inches
and 20 feet in length, and 1913 pieces
skis inches and IS feet in length. The
curb timbers will require $40 feet 6x1o
inches. and the three-inch planking
will require $4,000 feet.
In covering the bridge with wood
paving blocks 1910 square yards will
be required, these blocks being of
Southern yellow pine creosoted. The
general work Of repairing the bridge
will be done by local workmen but
the block paving will be done by the
Hassam Paving Co. In laying this paw
ing the planking of the bridge will be
covered with tarred paper, on which
will be laid a cushion of sand and CO.
ment and on this cushion the wood
blocks will be laid, the end of the
grain up. and grouted with sand. and
tie sand mixing with pitch or oil
which exudes from the blocks pro-
duces cement which renders the
pavement completely waterproof. The
blocks to be used are about 35s inches
in thickness and will last for many
years.

If You Must Drink.

To the married man who cannot
get along without his drinks, tho
following is suggested by neigh y
boring newspaper as solution to
the bondage Of his habit:
First-Start a saloon in your OVID
house.
Second-Be the only customer.
You will have no license to pay.
Give your wife SO to buy gallon
of whiskey, and remember there are
sixty-nine drinks in one gallon.
ThirG-Buy your drinks from no
one but your wife, and by the time
the first gallon is gone, she will
have $7.35 to put in the bank and
50 to start business again.
Fourth-Should you live ten
years and continue to buy booze
from her, and then die with snakes
in your boots, she will have money
to bury you decently, educate your
children, buy house and lot
marry a decent man, and quit think
Ing about you.
