n vas stated Tuesday following a meeting of the board of selectmen that it is probable a special town meeting will be called to see whether the citizens will authorize an appropriation for he construction of a new bridge over the ,ssavaga river to replace the present 1ilapidated structure, which is as ripply as the waves of the ocean.
 One cS the selectmen said that the type of bridge to be built. if any is auth o-ized. would be decided by the electors ct the town. The discussion as to a new brides brings to the forefront a subject of real importance. It is by no means new subject. for 1t has been more or les tailoed of at times for years. How ever the voters have never given 1t se- rious attention such as 1t deserves. Va rtous suggestions have been made from time to time as to locations for a ney bridge and as to the type of the bridge.
 Some believe that any new bridge to be constructed should be built to care for vehicles as well as for foot travellers. Not few are convinced that the present bridge location should be abanoned and a site a bit farther up the river selected One idea is that the easterly end of a new bridge should start across the river at a point opposite of Academy street while others advocate having the bridge oposite Oak street. which furnish au out let through Spring to Main streets. Still others advocate building new bridge where the one in use now stands, but the plan does not find general favor because Of the congested section at the eas.erly end of the bridge.
 The wishes of the voters as to the bridge may be made known when the talked of special town meeting is called
 ft js held by many that the building of a real bridge. to serve through a long period of years. would be the means of developing upper Riverview much aftey the manner that that section boomed after the building of the original footbridge fer where there were but pastures prior to the building of the present bridge there is now one of the finest and pleas nntest residential sections of the borough.
