clty COnacll iaSf lucS0d! hlSnt Tor bridge over the dangerous crossing between North Pond and Pond streets, it is very likely that the bridge will not go up, despite it's great need. At the present time there arc two other bridges in that vicinity and the gen eral opinion about the city is that it will be doubtful if the public utilities commission will compel the railroad to erect another structure or pay half the cost of bridge. When the council voted the appropriation, the motion was made that in case the commission did not compel the railroad 10 pay one half the cost, the decision to appropriate the money for the bridge would become null and , old Another factor to make the situation more doubtful is that the crossing is private right of way, as it has never been accepted by the city as a public street. It serves mere ly as convenient link from the Barnes tract of the Bristol Realty Go. to Pond street, thus allowing an out let to the city for the residents Of the section. The danger of the place has been clearly demonstrated in the last year by one death from railroad trains and countless narrow escapes from death, but the situation has resolved itself into knotty problem for the city officials to consider and also for discussion by, the Bristol Realty O.. which is ,itally affected.
