KENNEBEC BRIDGE
CONTINUED from Page Cne)

through the residential district OF
Bath to the bridge at the Middle
Crossing The amount, with a liberal
allowance for contingencies, is S25,ooo.
The following cost estimates are
submitted, among others for sites
which do not have the feasibility OF
these four:
Telegraph Point, highway bridge,
$916, 200 for the bridge proper and ST.
100000 for the entire project.
Middle Crossing, highway bridge,
$1,275,000 for the bridge proper ana
1880. 900 for the entire project.
Middle Crossing. combination bridge,
$2,42O, 900 for the bridge proper and
$2,S50O00 for the entire project.
Lowest Crossing, combination
bridge, S2,944,0O0 for the bridge proper
and s3,245,O0O for the entire project.
Mr.. Waddell makes no recommends
ton as to which type of bridge should
be built as this is matter for the
governor and council. Neither does he
make any recommendation for site
Of a railway bridge, as that is mat
ter for the State and the railroad to
decide.
For a highway bridge. he recon-
mends the Middle Crossing as 1t would
be much superior in point OF service
offered the citizens of Bath and Wool
witch.
If the combination railway bridge
is built. Mr.. Waddell estimates that
the railroad should pay $4,000 for the
Middle Crossing and 100000 for the
lowest crossing.
Mr.. Waddell makes a suggestion for
the Improvement of the type of bridge
originally selected, namely, a concrete
footwalk instead of a plank walk, at
a cost of $4,000 additional.
Mr.. Waddell also submits an estl-
mate for the total cost of combina-
ton highway bridge at what he terms
the Carleton site. This amounts to
$3,o45, 900
The engineer says it would be futile
to build the bridge at Winsiow's Rocks
for three reasons. Here movable
span would be dangerous to nav1ga-
ton. there is too much grade for
railway bridge and the river is 100
wide at this point, making even IL
highway bridge too expensive.
