Alfred HAINES, government engineer and bridge inspector, was sent last August to make some repairs on the Moncton and Coverdale bridge. Mr. Haines has been a bridge builder since he was 13 years old. His father was also a bridge builder. He prepared the plans and specifications of the great Fredericton bridge and has built the bridges at Buctouche, Cocagne, Woodstock and a great many other places. He built one at Oromocto 37 years ago, and it stood until the ice carried away the superstructure two years ago. Since 1882 he has been a government inspector. He has also built a number of railway bridges. He is a native of York Co. and his home is in St. Mary's opposite Fredericton. (see original)
