The Grand avenue bridge is being re-
paired; IND it is quite time, else the
structure would soon fall into the Quin-
nipiac river. Two of the cross-beams
8 by 10 inches, were almost as rotten as
punk, but the city of New Haven could
not afford q to replace them with new
timber, 80 they are to serve another term
by placing heavy plank on each
side and boiling through, where
there is enough sound wood tt
hold the bolts: It is shame
to repair the bridge in this manner, as new
l
way is being replanked in part. During
the repairs horse cars run only to the cen
ter of the bridge. This bridge is of tn
} old cast iron truss pattern. What is need
} ed is new bridge of the plate-girder pat
tern. The abutments are in good condi
ton and new bridge should be PLACED
| | thereon. In any event, no attempt SHOULD
, be made to patch up rotten and punk
, | timbers.
