CIRCULATION BOOK OPEN TOLADVERTISERS, ESTA PLISHED 1850. BY THEO. HART, 1883. COUNTY OFFICIALS DECLARE FOR NEW PITTSTON BRIDGE PITTSTON BUSINESS MEN, AT CONFERENCE THIS MORNING, PUT QUESTION OF NEW WATER STREET BRIDGE SQUARELY BEFORE COMMISSIONERS AND CONTROLLER, WHO AGREE THAT NEW BRIDGE IS NEEDED -PLANS AND ESTIMATE. The Gazette has good news for the people of the Pittstons.

this evening. It reason to believe that the county authorities have been so deeply impressed with the necessity for a nev bridge between Pittston and West Pittston, at Water street, that steps will be taken immediately to provide the improvement. It would not be surprising if work on the new bridge is started before the close of the present year, There is good authority for the statement that the county officials are heartily in favor of a new bridge here. There has been considerable talk of late concerning a new bridge of modern at Water street. This has been occasioned owing to the dilapidated condition of the present structure.

The Water street bridge is built of wood. It was constructed, upwards of 40 years ago best days. So long as corporation had it in charge extreme was taken to make repairs promptly. The directors were West Pittston men, who personally traveled the bridge dally, and they kept a sharp eye on the structure. In the latter days of their quently ownership and repairs particular were care made was tatter to prevent the bridge from being abused by horsemen.

Since the bridge was taken over by the county repairs have not been as frequent, and al great many horsemen seem to think that, so long as no officer has his eye upon them, they can trot or gallop their horses across the bridge, and misuse the structure in other ways. With the lapse of time, use and misuse, the bridge is not in the best of condition, and a new structure is sorely needed. Besides, Pittston people. have been waiting for years to secure a crossing for street cars between these twin towns. The movement for a new bridge has been accumulating force recent months.

During the past week, a petition has been in circulation, asking the county commissioners to take action in the matter. A climax was reached this morning, when a party of prominent gentlemen of the Pittstons went to Wilkesbarre, and, by appointment, held a conference with the county commissioners 011 the subject. County Controller Hendershot was called into conference, in order that all of the officials whose sanetion is required might be conversant with the proceedings. The whole subject was gone into thoroughly. The Pittston men put the proposition before the officials in a forceful way, calling attention to the condition of bridge and to the importance of the structure as a highin ay over which thousands of people travel daily.

The county officials seemed to de quite familiar with the conditions at the bridge, and admitted the truth of all that was said concerning it. In fact. they declared themselves emphatically as being of the opinion that a new bridge should be constructed in place of the present Water street structure. The county controller said that he had personally made an inspection of the bridge and was in favor of a new structure, In the course of the conference, the matter of a crossing for street cars was broached, and it seemed to be the sentiment of all concerned in the proceedings that when a new bridge is constructed it should provide for a railway track. When the conference adjourned, it was the understanding that the county commissioners would take up the matter at once.

They will secure estimates as to the cost and as soon as possible will have tentative plans prepared for a structure strong enough to meet all the demands, including street cars. The Pittstonians interested plan to push the bridge projeot as rapidly as possible, in the hope that something definite can be accomplished before the close of the present year.
