Fitch's bridge over the west branch of the Delaware at East Delhi is an interesting structure, due to the fact that the builder's markings are still visible on its lattice planking. Each member has a ietter and a number painted on it, indicating that the bridge was probably planned and fitted in a nearby field before its erection across the river.
An interesting sidelight here Is that the timbers lettered "East" were fin- ally erected on the west side of the bridge, and those marked "West" comprise the east truss. Evidently ; the builder was a bit mixed on his" directions, or else was too far along on the bridge before he discovered. his mistake.
Far to the north, across the east branch of the Ausable river at the little village of Jay is the only cov- ered bridge in the Adirondack region. It is a long 3-span bridge, built in 1857 to replace an open wooden bridge which went out in a flood the previous year. From the appearance of the bridge, it Is apparent that a portion of the old bridge was saved. Then a long wood and iron Howe truss "span was erected across the rest of the channel and a covering placed over the entire 240 foot struc- ture.
The longest covered bridge in New York is at Colchester, near Downs- ville. Originally of two spans, it has been strengthened by the addition of another pier, and stretches a little over 300 feet across the east branch of the Delaware.
In contrast to this lengthy struc- ture are the tiny 25 and 30 foot bridges over Dry Brook, reached by a dirt road out of Arkville. These are the simplest of covered bridges, their trusses being In the form of a wood- en triangle. Their setting is a very picturesque one, the three upper bridges being in the midst of pine forests, while the two iower ones
