Free Bridge to Replace Toll Span Linking Kittery and Portsmouth
The century old toll bridge between Kittery Maine and Portsmouth New Hampshire is slated for replacement by a war memorial bridge. Ownership history traces from the Proprietors of Portsmouth Bridge to the Eastern Railroad and finally the Boston and Maine Railroad. Bridge revenue reportedly reached 180000 in one year in nickels dimes and pennies. Until state laws authorize a toll free crossing, pedestrians pay two cents motorized travel 15 cents and vehicle coaches 40 cents with an extra penny if accompanied by a sheep or hog. Also reported a sleeping sickness case at Lincolnville involving Henry Young. Doctor Elmer F Gould notes the case. Mr and Mrs William D Sewall and daughter Dorothy departed for a few days in Boston.
