The Railroad Bridge PrOBlen-Fished e d Out of the Rfver-General Items That VIII be Found of Interest. Local fishermen are now turning their at- tention to Aatfsh, and quite a number of catches are reported. Yesterday and Tues day were good days for fishing, but poor ones for fishermen. Tuesday two small boys were playing on the west bank of the Quinnipiac river near Lewis bridge, when one of them fell into the water but was fished out by his companion.

 It is thought by good many that the plan
 to carry bridge over Grand avenue, Hill and Church streets on the East side will be
 reported on favorsbly by the committee ap-
 pointed by the Superior court. The pro-
 posed bridge is to do away with two actual
 grade crossings and one that is used exten-
 siyely by foot passengers. Center street and
 Grand avenue intersect one another at right
 angles, while Hill street, so-called, joins
 them at the point of intersection. The rail-
 road sweeps around in such a curve that it
 makes crossing at each street. Just how
 the three crossings, which occupy at least 90
 feet are to be bridged, is 8 problem which
 the uninitiated are not able to comprehend,
 although the roads engineers have decided that the thing is feasible. A good many East side property owners object to the plan on the ground of expense while those who live in the immediate vicinity of the cross- ings think that the changes in grade that will be necessary will seriously damage their property. Those who live on the heights, however. are in favor of the scheme as, if it is carried out, they will be enabled to get down to the principal streets much more easily and without danger of being run over.
