This is a free bridge, and to avoid pay ing on tile long bridge many fisher men have stopped there to fish. And now the bridge is liUored with clam shells. The fishermen are ac tually too lazy to throw the shells overboard, after they have removed the clam for bait, and drop them on i the deck of the bridge to cut the tires of passing aatoraoblles, and to add to the general unsightliness. Some cottagers, despite the strict law against it, actually dump tin cans and garbage along the lilghway. and many other unsightly practices are engaged in.
