New Bridges Needed
On Washington Ave.
Heavy Trucks to Be Barred in Future Board Approves
$6,777 for Repairs-TwO New Structures Soon

The Washington avenue bridge
will not be permanently safe even
after completion Of repairs costing
S6,777, and 1t will be necessary 70
close the structure TO heavy traffic,
Mayor Vincent A. Scully told the
board Of finance yesterday. Even
the temporary repairs may cost a

innate, the mayor said, since re-
moval Of the planking will probably
reveal defects beyond those now evil
dent.
The finance board voted the re-
quested &6,777 transferring 1t from
the street departments payroll item
to which It will be restored after
September l. The money TO make
possible the restoration will come
from savings In other departments
to be earmarked for street depart
ment use.
More Money Required
Describing the bridge as being I'M
safe, Mayor Scully said: THE plank
ing and stringers are definitely In
very bad shape. We may need more
money to put the bridge In halfway
decent condition. The other Wash.
ington avenue bridge Is also going 10
be a problem"
"These bridges we're built for
ilorse-drawn traffic." the mayor
said. But they're used daily by
hundreds Of automobiles and heavy
trucks. There are an especially
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-06-07

some Of them, they tell, as big Is 30
and IS tons. When the repairs are
finished, the superintendent OF
streets will probably have 10 close
the bridge to heavy traffic. Those
big trucks, especially, will have 70
be kept off"
The mayor said that he and
members Of the board OF works had
inspected the bridge personally from
beneath but that the full extent Of
the needed repairs cannot be de-
termined until the planking is TAX

The appropriations which viii not

HARRISBURG, Pa, March 16.-
Pennsylvania is looking forward to

be seen In almost every section Of
the State. Festivals at Wellsboro.
Brookville, Cook Forest. the Poconos
and several other places celebrate
laurel blossomings. The Department
Of Commerce will announce festival
dates when those dates are chosen
for this season.
White rhododendron blossoms ap-
pear in the woods shortly after the
laurel. Punxsutawney annually holds
q rhododendron festival.
Shad bush blossoms, 8 to S inch
long white clusters, come out early
in spring. Early settlers named the
tree. otherwise known as june berry
and sarvice, because the appearance
OF its blossoms meant that the shad
were ascending the Pennsylvania
rivers to spawn. Since shad fishing
was once q prosperous industry on
the Susquehanna, Juniata and Della
ware Rivers, the blossoms were a
sort of signal to begin work.
