A letter from A. w. Bushell, di- rector of engineering and construc- ton for the State Highway Depart Enent, was read to the Board by Warden Brophy. The warden also had the report of 0. I. Nord, state bridge inspector.
 It was explained by Mir. Bushel and Mfr. Nord that to strengthen the bridge to this capacity and re- place the present wooden flooring wit ha concrete filled steel grid floor would cost about 922.000. Mir. Nord estimated that If this were done, the bridge, with reasonable maintenanc, will render Q further service of about 25 years.
 Mir. Nord submitted plans for this and also for a new bridge at the present location. A new bridge would last indefinitely and would not need maintenance. would cost approximately S8o.O0O. he estimated
 Must Conserve Steel
 However, Mir. Bushell in his let- ter said, ordinarily 1t would not appear to be desirable to spend 922,000 to strengthen a bridge which has been in existence as long as this one has (50 years. However, because of the difficulty in obtaIn- ing steel, and because everything should be done to conserve tho use Of steel, we believe that you will need to consider seriously whether it would not be better to make re- pairs to the present bridge, rather than build a new bridge ct this period"
 1ile warden said he felt that It 4s possible the government will pay the cost Of strengthening the bridge so ae to increase it's capacity be- cause there is defense work in this town and because all traffic over seven tons now has to use the Whittemore memorial bridge on Maple street.
 The board members felt 1t would be advisable to apply for govern Enent help in increasing the ton- mage of the present bridge, rather than for help in constructing a uew bridge.
 Bids Nov. I7
 Another point which brought nome the difficulty in getting steel was c letter which the warden rec gently received, concerning the new Union street bridge, from John Smith. state highway department official. This letter advised the warden that the department will advertise for bids for this small bx.Sge by Nov. IT. if not sooner. It added. Tt may be very difficult to get the reinforcing steel for this project"
