THE TRENTON BRIDGE.
County Good Roads Association
Considers Proposition.

SOuuUy
Considers Proposition.
There was a meeting at the aldermen's
room in Ellsworth Monday afternoon, un-
der the auspices of the Hancock County
Good Roads association, to consider the
matter OF making the Trenton toll bridge
free, and the proposition to be submitted
to the legislature.
While the storm prevented many from
other sections OF the county from attend
ing, Senator Wood and Representative
Sawyer Of Bar Harbor, and Representative
Redman Of Ellsworth we're present to hear
the suggestions OF the meeting. Ernest
Graham of Bar Harbor, representing the
special committee on the bridge matter
appointed by the Bar Harbor board OF
trade, and Herbert F. Emery Of Bar Har-
Dor, who is deeply interested in the bridge
proposition and has ideas Of his own on
road construction and the bridge matter,
which he is not afraid to express, were
also present. Ellsworth, which is as
much interested in this matter as Bar
Harbor. was we'll represented.
Roy e. Haines, president Of the county
road association, presided, and J. A. Cum
ningham of Ellsworth was chosen tenn
porary secretary Of the meeting.
The discussion, as has been the case at
every bridge meeting, brought out wide
variety Of suggestions as to. the proper
method to pursue to obtain the object
which all desire-the making of the bridge
free.
Those who advocate simply the pur-
chase of the bridge now, putting it in
temporary repair, and leaving the matter
of new bridge to the future, have had
the props knocked from under them by
the statement of competent engineers
that the present bridge is unsafe and
must be practically rebuilt at once. This
makes it necessary to provide fund for
new bridge ss well as the 5000 for the
purchase OF the present bridge and rights.
Estimates place the cost of new wooden
$4,000.
1t was finally voted as the sense Of the
meeting that the legislature be asked to
appropriate 81, 600. This would provide
for the purchase and the freeing OF the
present bridge, and the construction OF q
new wooden bridge. 1t is deemed more
practicable to build new bridge just
west OF the present structure, leaving the
present bridge free for travel until the
new bridge ie completed.
After this expression OF the sense OF the
meeting, the matter was left with Han
cock county's delegation in the legislature
to put the matter in proper form.
