 FOR NEW BRIDGES.
Highway Commissioner Will Confine Work to Repairs During the Winter.

Highway Commissioner Charles J. Bennett will not award any more con tracts this year for construction of bridges. Whatever additional contracts may be awarded will be for repairs. It Is impossible to foresee the extent of this repair work, or, indeed, if it will be necessary to undertake 1t at all.
 Contracts for the construction of bridges amounting to more than $780, coo are now in the works.
 Under the act of the last session the highway commission was given entire charge of the construction of bridges in the state. and they were made a part of the trunk system. In every instance the state pays one-half the construction except when a trolley company uses the bridge, when the cost is divided between the state, the company and the towns or counties, the assessment on each being one-third the cost.
