The actual work of removing the
timbers of the old South Main street
bridge was begun yesterday afternoon,
for then it was that the big boom der
rick lifted the first piece of underpin-
ming. A lar~1 chain attached TO the
derrick and then to beam soon removed
the amber when the boom was lifted.
Not until yesterday morning was the
passageway to South Barre and Will
Jamestown closed as far a. this old
wooden structure is concerned. The
temporary bridge was practically com
pleted yesterday afternoon, and from
all appearances viii be sturdy enough
to hold up the light fire truck should
such be needed beyond this bridge dur
ing the time of construction. To in.
sure better protection to the people of
upper South Main street and Webster
avenue, Fire Chief Heney placed reel
of 400 feet of the large three inch hose
under shed of the Glysson stoneshed,
so that hydrant connections might be
easily made in that district regardless
Of anv trouble hat might result from
the trucks making a run there.
