BorBG10/5/37

1873. Address by 'AN ELECTOR': 'Burgesses of Bedford Beware!! Are you satisfied with the way your money has been spent during the last four or five years? Ask yourselves a few questions. Do you approve of the Erection of the Corn Exchange and the reckless Planting of Trees at your cost? ... Another nice little scheme has just entered on the Corporation carpet, "The New Traffic Bridge" ... no doubt a Foot Bridge is necessary for the accommodation of the Public, but such a sum as this should never be put upon the Rates for the convenience of the two Railways and of the "FIRM", so that their heavy Traction Engines may pass from one side of the County to the other without coming through the Town.' Anti Liberal.
