tees of the bridge district.

ing taken by group of Hancock
county citizens who have interview
ed Governor Brewster and other
State officials as to the desirability
Of making the new bridge a toll
bridge for term of years.
Governor Brewster told them
frankly that he views with alarm
the whole question of the States en-
larging expenses. and assured them
that he would be ready to listen to
lief to the taxpayers of the bridge
district. the county and the State.

given some consideration to the pro-
position of tolls for the Hancock
Sullivan bridge, and would be inclin-
ed to favor 1t, If the people of the
county desire it.
The bridge, which is now about
half built, is expected to be COM
pleted by the fall of 1925. and will
cost. 1t is estimated, nearly half q
million dollars.
