RED CROSS PAYS FARE
Canadian Soldier Marooned and
Without Funds Enabled to Get to
Vaneeboro Through Deed Of Local
chapter-Speaks From Experience
Of Red Cross's Wonderful Work

A Canadian soldier without funds
was enabled to start Tuesday noon
for Eanceboro, where he will be able
TO secure funds and be attended to.
after having been in the war and
on the road to his honorable dis
charge, through the kindness of the
local chapter of the Red Cross.
Here's the story:
Nathan Latham, member Of the
Canadian army, who fought in the
battle Of Ypres and other already
famous battles, was wounded while
in active service. His wounds were
serious and he was in several hos
pitfalls in France for treatment. Then
he came to the United States last
December. In civil life he was a sea-
man and it was while in St. John
during big recruiting drive that he
and two other seamen enlisted. his
other companions since having lost
their lives in the big conflict. From
the United States he shipped back
to Italy on a merchant marine and
while there was in a hospital for
treatment He then returned to the
United States and landed in Calves
ton, Texas. Meanwhile he had ap-
piled to the proper authorities in st.
John for transportation back to the
ST. John hospital for treatment. His
funds were shipped to New York and
after remaining there for time were
shipped back again, that being gov
eminent regulations, he having not
vet reached New York. When he
reached New York again there was
no money there for him and he was
practically without funds. He had
enough money to get to Portland by
boat and then come as far as Angus
ia from Portland by trolley. He did
not appeal for aid but his situation
was brought to the attention OF the
local police department. who in turn
notified the local Red Cross. The REQ
Cross furnished him with FUNDS ana
also a nice box of lunch and he start
ed for Canada Tuesday noon. he
was a retiring chap and had very
little to say about his own part IN
the war. But he spoke very highly OF
the Red Cross and Of the wonderful
work which is being done IN the war
zone

Engineer Blacks Report

6HSiiiSei oidSh rtepCFt
This bridge was built in 1880 and Is
a wrought iron pin connected truss
Nudge of three spans having q total
length of about 40 feet. The long
center span is of an obsolete type Of
construction, type which has been
abandoned because of the difficulty Of
determining the value of the various
members that make up the truss.
After a careful examination ana
thorough study of this structure am
OF the opinion that it is of insufficient
strength to carry the loads thai are
fkely to be put upon it by the com
hined highway and street railway
traffic.
The continued use Of the bridge by
the street railway should he permitted
only provided the following changes
are made and the limiting of luaI
conditions stated below carefully adj
h5reC to:
The telephone and electric vices
truSses.
The trotting of horses on the bridge
shouid be prohibited.
During the winter months snow

No freight car should be allowed to
enter upon or cross the bridge while
It is icing used by the highway traf-
fic.
No car should be allowed to enter
upon Of cross the bridge while an
other car is upon it,
No car with load exceeding 80 tons
in weight, equally distributed on
eight wheels should be allowed to en-
ter upon or cross the bridge at any
time.
The maximum train permitted on
the bridge should consist of one mo-
Tor ca. without load, weighing 81
tors. and one freight car which with
load weighs so tons equally distribu-
ted or eight wheels.
The speed of operation OF cars
across the bridge should never ex-
coed eight miles per hour.
The Testimony
MIR. Brown went into detail as tc
how he arrived at his conclusions re.
garding the condition of the bridge
and as to why his recommendations
should be observed.
He said that the bridge had done
all and more than it was designed
for and as a matter of safety SHOULD
not be asked to continue the burden
now placed upon it. 1t was showing
in places the wear occasioned by its
usage and although its general con.
dition was good, it had deprecated

ton of the hearing of April 8 last,

bridge engineer connected with the
commission. The hearing was again
adjourned to permit the expert to
figure out proposed changes from his
recommendations. made by the engi-
neer of the Electric Railroad, which
uses the bridge to large extent.
1t is apparent to all that tire pres
ent use of the bridge must be re

the consequences and that it VIII be
but a matter of a few years, with the
natural increase of traffic and bust
