NEW BEVERLY BRIDGE 
Governor McCall has signed the 
bill authorizing the county commis- 
sioners of Essex county to borrow 
and expend $200,000 for reconstruct- 
ing and widening the Essex bridge 
between Beverly and Salem. Under 
the terms of the act, the Bay State 
street railway company is required to 
pay into the county treasury 10 per 
cent. of the total cost of construction ; 
when this has been paid, the county is 
to pay 40 per cent. of the balance, 
while Salem is to be required to pay 
35 per cent. and Beverly 25 per cent. 
It is provided, however, that the 
street railway company shall pay 50 
per*cent. of the cost of adding 10 
feet to the width of the bridge, the 
balance being divided between the 
cities and the county the same as in 
the construction cost. The bill fur- 
ther provides that “If the said com- 
pany pays into the treasury of the 
said county its proportion of the costs 
and expenses of reconstructing and 
widening said bridge as aforesaid and 
shall enter into an agreement with 
the county commissioners of said 
county to keep that part of the road- 
way on said bridge between its tracks 
and 18 inches outside thereof, in re- 
pair and safe for the public travel 
thereon, the said company shail 
thereupon have, and is hereby grant- 
ed, subject to such terms and condi- 
tions as said county commissioners 
shall impose, a location upon said 
bridge for the construction of two 
lines of track, except on the drawer, 
and for the maintenance of its tracks, 
poles and wires, and the operation of 
its railway thereon.
