MAYOR SAVES
TOWN MONEY
w. NJ. Vinyard, Mayor of Mil
ford, Draws Charts and
Does All Engineering Work
OTHER WORK IN OFFICE

Few cities or towns have a may
or who saves the taxpayers money
by designing the public works su-
perintending the construction and
in fact doing all the civil engin-
eering work of the commonwealth,
but Milford, in Mayor Wilson NJ.
Vinyard, has one who is a civil en-
gineer by profession as well as a
practical builder and in that way
saves the city much. He has drawn
the charts, made the plans as well
as done all the engineering work
necessary for the construction of
the new bridge across the Mispil-
lion river, saving both counties as
well as the city of Milford quite
sum of money. The blue prints
have just been completed and they
were made personally by Mayor
Vinyard. Active work on the
bridge is now awaiting the Federal
government. State permission has
been obtained and Federal sanction
is expected any day. Last week
ended the time set by the Federal
government for objections to be
filed against the construction of
the bridge and so far as can be
learned no serious opposition has
developed. The only opposition
that would be tolerated by the Fed
eral government would be in the
matter of navigation and no large
vessels have passed beyond the site
where the bridge is to be built for
many years. In fact the river is
not thought navigable for large
crafts above the light and power
plant which will be between the
new bridge and the mouth of the
stream. Besides drawing the plans
for the new bridge, Mayor Vinyard
has executed all the civil engineer
ing work for the city that has been
done since his regime.
