Eoi-xdlioi Made fob Proposed Bridge.
Under the direction of the City En
gineer soundings have been made for
the proposed bridge for South Portland
between Woodward avenue and Woods
street. At the last election the bridge
bonds were placed on the ballot without

known. Dr. Dav Raffety. chairman of

committee, said that no plan for a
bridge campaign had been adopted and
will not be adopted until the election
date Is settled. He also expressed the
opinion that any change of the bridge
location toward the south or on Beacon
street will be unwise and might defeat
the bridge project, as a big cut would
be required on Beacon street for the
approach, which, property owners say,
would ruin their holdings. The sub

Club December 11. Mayor Rushlight

bis views as to the bridge project.

When You Start
To Save
You don't know
to what lengths of
success it may lead.
We have a larfre nnmber
of depositors who didn't
begin to save in earnest
until they saw the first
interest credited on their
pass book.
And many who have made
successful investments se
cured the money to do so
by having a savings ac
count here.
This is the age of oppor
tunity for those who are
ready.
But if you spend all you
make as fast as you earn
it you'd have to lose-the
most flattering chance for
investment.
