 Although an item for a new bridge over the Qutnnipisc river at Grand avenue is
 included in the city estimates, it is doubt l ful if the money Is appropriated, as there | is deficiency which will result in several objects being stricken from the list, and 1 the city fathers will doubtless decide that ! the old bridge will do little longer. The
 estimates also include a proposed appropri- stion for 8 new bridge across Mill river at Chapel street, but there Is more pressing | demand for the QuiunipiAo river bridge This improvement should not be delayed longer than next year. Fair Haven tax payers think that same of the public money should be spent in this part of the city. The work on the new retaining wall at the southwest end of Barnesville bridge is progressing favorably. Upon firm foun- dation of spiling, courses of heavy East Haven stone have been built up, giving a fine piece of masonry.
