License.-

Some forty-fve towns voted prohibition
 at the recent town election, i. e. probably
 several more than can enforce it. so
 that temperance people may cdngratulate themselves on the prospect of having en- FsirS pfohjtion Wzenyer pr6llbitio6 is
 pr NAcable. We su psct, indeed, lat
 thS SAAuor dhaers hay in several places
 tssgselveserged atown sofe ofssNo
 License" In this county several towns
 that have usually voted ':No License
 have this year settled upon "License. !"
 Winchester, Norfolk, and New Milford
 are in tins catagoFy. Whether, however;
 there will be any real change in their practice is a different matter. In Win
 chester. and, save for brief period, in
 New Milford, we are led to believe that ss much hquur was sold under .eno fi- cense" as under .s9icense." About, Nor folk we have means Of judging.
 ' .. The next. point under the license -law,
 and one to which the attention of our County Commissioners will no doubt be turned, is that. of enforcing the law re- quiring license of all dealers, and of re- strictions upon licensed dealers provided under that law. The lastlegislature made it the duty of County Commissioners to appoint prosecuting agents to see that the law is not violated. This is a county where dealers have shirked the payment for licenses to an extent unknown in any other part of the state. In 1872 seventy licenses were granted and $7,000 went; into, the various town treasures to coun- terbalance in small degree the pauper- ism that inevitably follows the general traffic in intoxicating liquors. In 1873 the number of licenses dwindled down to twenty. and. this year, still fewer have been taken out. There are just as many dealers now as in 1873 and they ought to be made to pay for the privilege they, take. -.-...--.-- In other counties, particularly in that of New Haven, liquor dealers are being brought up sharply by the prosecuting agents appointed by County Commission CTS, During the month of September one hsssadred and .forty-t1ree dealers were prosecuted and paid their fines and costs in New Haven county alone. In New Britain. Pennington, Bristol and Plains vile, sixteen dealers have been convicted and fined $5o each; while, in Southington, twenty dealers have been fined and con- victed before justices. In many of these cases appeals have been taken, but the prospect is that the number of licenses taken out in. Hartford and New Haven, at least, will be greater than ever before.
 We have no doubt this matter will soon be taken in hand in this county and that those who deal in liquor will at least be compelled to be under the restraint, and to pay the cost, of license. : .'.. ,--

In 1886 and 1887. at an expense of about S4, ,5OO, the covered bridge over the Naug- atuck River was built to take the place of the old open bridge which tstood little north of the present structRrs.

But the money thus spent has proved to be an economical out lay, for the bridge is yet in generally sound condition, and with ordinary re- l pairs; such as. occasional new flooring and shingling, will be serviceable for many years to come Afew years since it was deemed best to add some timbers under meath, with view to give additional strength failed to be of much service. Last year a foot bridge vas. erected on the south side, which of conrsa added considerably to the weight to be sustained. ;.
