The iron bridge is an accomplished fact. It is here and here to stay. Tax- payers from the furthermost parts of the town have inspected it during the course of construction, and in common with those who live closer to the depot pronounce it very good. And as pre- dicted in these columns last week, the end is not yet. Louder and louder grow the calls for the extension of the gravel road from its present termina- tion near the residence of Selectman Morehouse, to and over that new iron bridge aforesaid. This would do away with those two pieces of swamp land known as highway near the residence of F. S. Banks, and at the westerly end of the new bridge. Both places are well nigh impassable for foot passen- gers during the greater part of every Winter. The selectmen have promised to improve the last mentioned place by placing some of the planks from the old bridge, as a temporary relief for the pedestrians, but loose planks are only one degree better than tight mud, but this does not apply entirely to the wants of those who have to travel on foot, as every owner of a bicycle or fine carriage will testify. That a majority of our citizens are in favor of the ex- tension is evidenced by the growing talk for a special town meeting to take the necessary action and we trust to publish the call for such meeting very 5001].
