A serious defect has just developed
in the eastern approach to the new
Main street bridge. The concrete
wall on the north side, along the
former Dirigo theatre lot, has set
tied at the river end where it con-
meets with the bridge, and the top of
the wall and rail has tipped outward,
so that it is two or three inches out
of line with the bridge. At a meet
ing of the city government Monday
evening, the city clerk was instructed
to write Cyr Bros, the bridge con-
tractors, telling of the defect This
is not with the idea of placing blame
for the defect on the contractors, but
to arrange for an inspection and con-
sultation, to determine the cause or
the defect and measures that may be
taken to remedy it or prevent further
damage.
