Sec ~ It Is hardly within hutnao province to estimate 'eorrectly on the cost of maintaining such a wornout and frayed structure as the Washington street bridge. The best that 'can be done in this case is to name aIngurs which seems to be a reasonable one to keep the-ramshackle affair from actually dropping to pieces. A while ago the town 'board of eltlpiate and taxation pondered over , thesubloct and then came to the con: clusion " that itgxwouldI allow $3,000 for frepslrs' from September 1st, 1908, to September 1st. 1909. The board was not satisfied by any means that this figure dnuiuld finally cover the neces- IIIry outlay, but there was a budget to be made up, to meet the cost of run- ning the- whole town, and the board was created to tuck in the corners wherever it can. which it is doing very properly. it several times $3.000 had been appropriated it could be very easily spent, so far gone is the old bridge, .and the selectmen say, and they ought, to know something about Ill-from past experiences, that the board's allowance will be insufficient. ' The total allowance of the board of estimate and taxation for the mainten- nlice of therridge for the year just be- ..zglin is $3,735.10. This Is distributed ”as follows: , . Salary of Tender ........... 3 600.00 Absist'ant Tender .......... 20.00 IPower and Lighting ........ 76.00 insurance ................. 32.10 Water .................. ... 8.00 Necessary repairs ......... . 3,000.00 Total ............... . 33,735.10 That the bridge is falling to pieces is denied nowhere. its piles are rot- ten, itsisupportlng beams and stringers are iotten and most of its planking is nearing the same condition. in fact it is a frequent occurrence to have horses' hoofs go through it. placing the town in constant. peril of lawsuits for heavy damages. “ GIFT OF OWL AND CRESCENT.

Law—Stats Folios ' Hsvs Evlddnos. That the state police have been busy in Nsw‘Csnsan was manifested Wednesday afternoon, when ave war- rants were issued and served on five persons for illegal sale of liquor. John Sheridan, of Locust avenue; Sharkey Cappoio. Main street; Patsy Pa- trome, Summer street; Jerry Phillip- sic, prove street, slid Thomas Frock, Forest street, are the accused. Each gave hail of $200 to appear for a hearing Saturday, at9 a. m., it Is al- leged that all of the accused have been openly violating the liquor law. The state police have been working up the cases for the past two weeks. . it is said that about fifteen persons have been doing an illegal liquor busi- ness. Evidence has been hard to get, and it has been necessary for the po- ~iice to familiarise themselvesi with the localities and make friends with the trequenters' before they could glean the necessary information. Offi- cers John B. Weed and Marvin F. Merrill made the arrests. Much criticism is heard of the al- leged laxity of the members of the Law and Order League, organized shortly after the nolicense law‘went into effect. Many claim the arrests were made at the eleventh hour, as it were, simply to Justify their stand taken early in October. It is well known that liquor traffic has been In operation for many months. Yesterday morning the officers ar- rested Daniei Hamilton, who formerly‘ conducted a saloon in East avenue, and who has been running a roadhouse on the Vista road, near Smith's Ridge. Hamilton gave 8200 bail, and he will appear with the rest of the accused at the trial Saturday morning. it is said that Sheridan has been 1 on .2 s vsrlnapf Ariadne! liquor . in is pockets, charging the thirty ia- . sbristss from 10 to it cents a pull at . the bottle. His p, grinstions cover- ed a wide territory, 0 his indoctrin- ated' clients repressntsd all classes. The present status or affairs would indi ate that a fair start has been in c, and that more arrests will fol- low. It is expected that the evidence at the trial will be full of interesting episodps, detallfn the roses resorted to by the accused. ‘None of the per- sons arrestsd, with: the exception of Hamilton, ever conducted a saloon in the town, and it is stated on good au- thority that neither of the drug stores have been violating'the law.
