STARK CRITICIZES
BRIDGE MATTERS
Thinks Entire Problem Should BE Placed
in Hands of Special Committee
West River Bridge.
Editor of The Reformer -

Editor of The Reformer -
May | ask the people of BrattlebOrO
Though your valuable paper, Are we be
ing numbugged again? The town report
contains a report on the West River
bridge which is really amusing and
should create a laugh. if it were not for
the seriousness of the situation.
Mr. Engineer says the bridge Is safe
for any load answering the statutory
requirements, and in the same breath he
says it should be replaced at once. (How
iuconsistcn and why. the expenSef) The
ANALYSIS Of his report is that the bridge
is safe as long as it stands up. If the
bridge is safe why have large signs been
nut up ON either end within a few
DAYS, saying, Load limit four tons?"
Any one knows that this is by no means
the statute requirements. and why are
the men now under the direction Of the
road commissioner guyIng the bridge 10
the Central Vermont railway pier?
1t looks very much like that our five
thousand dollar bridge engineer would
bg inclined to please our Sclectmen for
the blunderS at not having n bridge over
the river - replace the one washed
away, nearly year ago. and which viii
take the best part Of next summer 10
construct. to tho loss of our merchants
and townspeople. Mr.. Taxpayer, do YOU
not think it is time for YOU To wake up
to YOUR own interest. and not be hum
buggcd by the slipshod method of doing
the towns business. such as has come to
light since the temporary bridge was
washed away? ~
Article is in the town warrant should
read that the town meeting appoint n
committee to handle the whole bridge sit
uation Of Brattlebnro. After our eNpcr-
icnce the past ten months, if this is don"
it viii place the responsibility on the
shoulders Of those who are 3uest anxious
to see g speedy termination Of o9tr
bridge troubles Thanking the kind edi-
tor for this space.
Yours respectfully,
MERRILL \. STARK.
