constructed under the provisions of
the bridge law.
Representative Hamilton said that
he understood that the State dis
claimed any liability in relation TO
the accident because the town had
not notified the State within the
time specified by law. Mr., Hamilton
said he could furnish proof that the
town selectmen did give notice to
the State within 10 days, but that
that was not necessary however be-
cause the construction work was be-

declared that the State was in en-
