action as may be deemed advisable in reference to the construction of 8 highway bridge on Percival ave- nue across the stream know as HArt's pond. just west of the American Paper Goods company and to appoint any committee or committees deemed necessary for any purpose in connec- tton herewith; to make any and all appropriations required to carry any work determined upon and to lay tax to cover the same and to take any action necessary or incident thereto.
 Action in regard to the bridge at this point was made necessary by the carrying away of the bridge last Monday afternoon by a hugh auto truck loaded with a hoisting engine. The truck and contents went through the bridge and carried the entire structure down into the depths of Hart's pond. which is about twelve feet deep at this point. Plans had al- ready been made by the selsctmen to repair the bridge but before action could be carried out the structure was wrecked by the truck. Just what old one is not known but 1t is possible
 
 iron and concrete bridges. Tho span Is about eighty feet in length and for this reason a bridge of the most modern type and structure will have to be constructed.
 The truck still remains at the bot tom of the pond in the same position that it landed after the collapse and when it will be removed Is not known. The sluiceway has been opened 1t the dam and the water is being drawn off the pond in order that the wreclEing crew will have better facilities to work in during the rescue. It Is also expected that. some kind of action will be taken at the meeting to pro- vide for 8 temporary footbridge at tho point during the construction of the new bridge. At present the only way of coming across is on tKe top of the dam or by the temporary struc- tnre erected by tho Paper Goods com pauy in their yard. But this method has it's disadvantages as crossing the dam is dangerous and the temporary bridge is closed after factory hours.
