Covered Bridges

Here and there one notes with re-
greet the passing of a Vermont cover
ed bridge and its necessary replace
ment by a modern steel structure
This inevitable change must be de-
plored by lovers of purely charact-
eristic Vermont institution.
Vermont covered bridges are con-
slant wonder to observers who have
any love for fine timber, good work
manship and native ingenuity. Built
mostly of heavy latice-work, fastened
snugly together with hand made, oak
pins, rooted in, shingled and sided,
some of these bridges have stood Tor
a century, with such repairs as new
weathenboards, shingles and wo.u
floors have called for.
Lovers of town history might tell
us who designed these singularily eff
licient and picturesque structures,
who sawed the sound, clear timbers,
who shaped the oak pegs, who cut
the shingles and probably forged the
nails. Certainly their work indicates
the finished craftsman, and humble
fame is no more than their just de-
SER
AS features Of the landscape, Gov
cred bridges in Vermont and New
England arc distinctly sui generis.
They are probably original with our
sturdy pioneers and home trained
engineers. They bridg many rock
bound, tree-shaded, beautiful, brawl-
ing stream with weathercd span
that has delighted artists and insDir-
ed poets.
Before they pass, every lover of
quiet, rugged Vermont should photo
graph these bridges and file the
prints with his treasures OF nature
and art. 1t will only be a few years
when the steel truss, ugly, ungainly,
and angular must replace the covered
bridge and its memory should not
pass.
Not only would such pictures be
lasting records of beauty but a per
manent tribute to the skill and en-
ergy of our forefathers.-R
