The suspension bridge crossing the
Connecticut river between Brattleboro

considerable discussion in Keene, \. H.,

cusscd road and bridge problems. The

pairs being in the meantime essential.

showing that 800 cars and teams used it
May % and 61S May 80, of which al
most none were owned in Chesterfield
and comparatively few in New Hamp-
shire. interstate traffic prevailing. EX-
periencc indicates. he said, that with the
IInsdalc bridge open at BrattleborO there
is still n heavy traffic on this bridge.
Chesterfield has petitioned the court to
order other towns to contribute towards
maintaining this bridge. and a big ques-
ton applicable to the whole Connecticut
valley in New Hampshire is thus opened.
This bridge is 30 years old and 800 feet
long. Brattleboro and Chesterfield built
it and shared i'm its maintenance.
In the council meeting notice of pc
ton Of the town of Chesterfield to the
superior court praying that proportions

received. together with the order of the
court fixing the date for a hearing in
KcPnc June g.

the usage of the bridge, Mayor Cain
