SPECIAL TOWN MEETINe
To Ro Held Soon to Act on Four spe-
 ciel Matters,

call for a special city meeting has been issued by the selectmen.
 The first clause in the warning is to determine whether the town will instruct and authorize the seiectmen to sell the buildings at the corner of Prospect and High streets, formerly known as the O'Lou@hlin property. The second clause in the warning is to see if the town will vote to build a new bridge in place of Bingham's s bridge and to appropriate 2 sum not exceeding $9,eQ0 for Q new bridge. The third clause is to see if the town will vote to repair the present Bingham's bridge and appropriate a sufficient sum to make repairs providing the town does not vote to erect Q new bridge. The fourth and last clause is to see if the town will vote to close up so much of the hiGhway known as the Plains Road in Windham as lies between Q point on said highway 50 feet westerly of the western end of Bingham's bridSe so called, and the intersection of said Plains Road with the road leading southerly from Low CTS Lane and including in said por- ton of said highway described above the bridge across the Natchaug river krown as Bingham's bridge.
 The matter fof disposing of the '0'Doughlin prepsrts has been consid- cred at a previous meeting at which
 
 in regard to the matter, but the se- lectmen feel that the situation was not fully understood at that time an6 therefore the clause was put in the present warning. It is stated that the buildings are in need of repairs whict would probably cost the town at leas $1, 800.
 Bingham's bridge is in very ba6 shape and not safe for heavy loads There are three propositions in thC warning in regard to this bridge. The first is to build a new bridge at z cost of from $8,0O0 to S9.000 whicl would build a bridge with the stand ard road capacity of today which i! 20 tons. the old capacity being Il tons, which was what the present wal built to carry. The second way i | if the town does not want to Vot, l money for a new bridge they can vott 1 to repair the present bridge. I would probably cost at least $500 | to put the bridge in safe shape. Tn
