New "Rialto" Bridge.

Contractor James E. eastman of Bur
lington, who has the contract to erect a
concrete and steel bridge across the
North branch river on State street and
his assistant, Jesse DeBrune, commenced
this morning to prepare to tear out the
present "Rialto" span. Workmen COM
pleted to-day the building of an office
on State street near the bridge and the
work of building the new bridge will be
pushed. A Golfer dam will be construct
ed around the eastern abutment as the
first step in the bridge building and it
is possible that new abutment may
have to be put in. Whether or not the
street will have to be closed down to
travel has not been decided yet, but it
will be impossible for the trolley cars
to use the bridge after the work is once
under way. November | will probably
see the completion of the new span.
