Work on the Kennebec bridge is
now going on we'll and the putting in
of the floor was completed Saturday
afternoon. The work of laying the
tarred paper and asphalt covering OF
the floor was also commenced Satur-
day on the south half of the bridge,
the men making excellent progress
and completing it Sunday afternoon,
and the work of laying the rails OF
the Lewiston. Augusta & Watervilie
Street Railway across the bridge will
be commenced today. No cars will
be run across the bridge however I'M
til the laying of the wood block paw
ing on the south half of the bridge is
completed. A noticeable feature in
connection with the work now in
progress is that a great deal of vi
bration of the bridge has been done
away with, there being scarcely any
at all when the heaviest traffic passes
over the structure, and Mr.. Hutchins,
who has charge of the work for the
Hassam Paving Co., the contractors,
Is of the belief that after the work is
completed the vibration is still less.
The work of laying the new sidewalk
on the south side of the bridge is al
so going along WELL and should be
completed today.
