VERY ENCOURAGING

q Z ! + Z . .
N1ANNINGTON, May 12.-During
a practice game between the Moose
lineup and a pickup nine last
night, big Chief Masters demon
strated that a man can play ball
even if he is Chief of Police. It is
reported, however, that Masters
knocked the horsehide sphere tor
three bags and only reached first
on it. This report may be taken up
by the official scorer and the coach
of the team to discover just why
the chief stopped on first, it is said
and if it is learned that he should
have gone on to third he may be
made to ride the goat again as a
punishm ent-
The Moose team took over the
pick up nine in an So score, and
did it easily. E. E. Bandy pitched
tho last inning, and only three
men faced him. The team will
practice again this evening.

PUBLIC ASKING
FOR new BRIDGE b. Ri D [: ! !.
Concerted Action Considered
BY Community Leaders
!. of City Now.
K al w SWIGER.5

BENNINGTON, May III It is
still Impossible to find out from
"A the CITY commissioners and other
city officials just what is to De
I done with the Pyles Fork bridge.
a few days ago this bridge was
condemned as unsafe and 1t has
remained closed since that time,
Although authoritative Information
is lacking, vet it seems to be the
general feeling in the community
that new up-to-date concre'e
structure will be erected to replace
the old worn bridge that stand :
there today. If the sentiment OF
the community is to be given us u;
ssp3ace by the city Dads" n decd,
{ ing upon the kind OF bridge thas
Ssislto be erected, then it is a sure
bet that a concrete bridge of late
s6Sssign will be built.
The fact that the city officials
refuse to divulge any inform alton
Of any nature relative to what -
fofbe erected leads the people OF
the town to discuss with a wide
latitude the various changes thai
might be made. 1t. however. Is
sgNnerally felt that new structure
must be built and that since q ne"
bridge must be erected an up-lo
date concrete structure shoulu NC
the kind decided upon.
ai.Ez5There is some talk Of the people
Eof the community taking some sort
sof concerted action in the matter
IN order to show the City OFFICIALS
what their wish and desire IS. As
yet, there has been nothing done
aalong that line, but It is conten'-
Iplated by leaders of the community
unless the city officials announce
before long some definite plans
The sentiment in the community
seems not only to favor the cree
ton Of a new bridge to replace tho
SSsold and condemned Pyles Fork
bridge, but also to favor the cree
ton at the same time OF ne"
bridge OF like kind to replace the
present bridge connecting Clarks-
burg street with Main street. ! NE
would be a good move, because the
present bridge connecting the TWO
\ streets is also liable at any time TO
be condemned. Its conaitlons Is
very similar to that Of the Pyles
E,ork bridge. It is felt that it Is
bufsa question of only "a few months
and possibly but few weeks, IN,
stil the city officials will be forced
10 close the Clarksburg street
bridge. Since a new bridge must
he built over Pyles Fork, and be-
cause Of the fact that in such
short time a new bridge will have
osbe built over Buffalo Creek con
meeting Main and Clarksbur,g
streets, the majority Of the people
seem to favor the immediate cree
! ion Of up-todate concrete bridges
replacing both of the two OLD worn
structures that stand TO-DAY
sItS IS hoped that something def
snite8will develop within the nex1
Few avs relative to both bridges.
sso8that the people will know just
what is to be done.
