President Coolidge Likes Wooden Bridges

Washington.-On Saturday, August 7, President Coolidge was at the old farm home at Plymouth, Vermont. Several of the newspaper correspondents who were with him observed for the first time the covered wooden bridges which are so characteristic of some of the northeastern states, and they asked the President various questions about them.,.In this connection, J. Russell Young, correspondent of the Washington Evening Star, writes as follows about the bridges which the President believes lasted longer than iron ones:

"Covered wooden bridges over rivers and streams are familiar sights in this section of the country. These were strange sights to several of the correspondents in the. Fresident's party, and at yesterday's conference among the, various qqestions propounded was one asking why these brid$bs are covered. The opinion advanced by the President was that the bridges of the earlier period were covered' for purely economic reasons, to keep out the weather, asone would cover a house. The President appeared to en-' joy answering this question. He remembered one on the outskirts of Springfield, Mass., which had stood for 100 years and which the wreckers found it very difficult'to tear. down. There was one also across the river at the Fresident's home town, Northampton, Mass,, which he recalled was blown away when a man and a horse and carriage were on it some years ago. Generally speaking, the President pointed out, the wooden bridges had a longer lease of life than the old-time iron bridge. The wooden bridge, according to him, also was more apt to give a warning of weakness than the iron bridge." :
