Tho first clause in the warning is to determine whother the town will instruct and nuthorize the selectmen to sell the bulldings at the corner of Prospect and High streets, formerly known as the O'Loushlin property. The second clause in the warning is to see if the town will vote to build a new bridge in place of Bingham's bridge and to appropriate a_sum not exceeding $9,000 for a new bridge. The third clause is to see if the town will vote to repalr the present Bingham's bridse and aporopriate a sufficient sum to make repairs providing the town does not vote to erect a new { bridge.. The fourth and last clause is to see if the town will vote to close up so much of the hichway known as the Plains Road in Windham as lies between o noint on said highway 50 feet westerly of the western end of Bingham’s bridse. so called. and the intersection of said Plains Road. with the road leading southerly from Lov- or's Lane and including in_said. por- tion of said highway described above the bridge across the Natchaug river ered at a previous meeting at which time it was voted to take no action in regard to the matter, but the se- lectmen feel that the situation was not fully understood at that time and therefore the clause was put in the present warning. It is stated that the buildings are in need of repairs which would probably cost the town at least $1,500. Bingham's bridge is in very bad shape and not safe for heavy loads. There are three propositions in the warning in regard to this bridse. The first is to build a new bridge at a cost of from $8,000 to $9.000 which would build a bridge with the stand- ard road capacity of today which is 20 tons. the old capacity being 10 HIRAM N. FENN UNDERTAKER and EMBALMER, imantic, Ct. Lady Assistant 62 Church St., Wi Telephone tons, which was what the present was built to carry. The second way is if the town does not want to vote money for a new bridge they can vote to repair the present bridge. Tt ‘would probably cost at least $3.000 to_put the bridge in safe shape.
