The Work of Eievating the Track.
of the Consolidated at Stratford.
BRIDGEPORT, July 24.-Many people
went to Stratford yesterday to witness the
great work of elevating the tracks of the
Consolidated road. Five hundred work
men, mostly Italians, were scattered along
the tracks for half mile, and the air wai
filed with the jingle of as many shovels
The final grade of the tracks will be ten
feet higher than formerly. The roadbed
has already been raised half the distance
without delaying regular trains.
Gravel for filling in it brought from ex-
tensive pits east of Long Brook where i'm
mense steam shovels are at work constant,
ly loading the cars. Of the cars there are
two kinds; the short dump cars which are
loaded with one shovelful and quickly IN
loaded by dumping, and the long. fiat cars
which carry several shovelfuls. The latter
are unloaded in a manner which 10 expedi-
tious and interesting to the lockers on.
When train load arrives at the place to be
filled in, brakes are put on and the engine
detached. Ona end of long cable Is at
tached to the locomotive and the other end
to an Iron plew precisely similar to the
ordinary snow pillow. The engine then
starts ahead and the pillow runs over the
whole train throwing the gravel off quick
or than could be done by thousand sons
of Italy.
Teams passing on the main strest have
now to 60 over quite rise of ground while
crossing the tracks, but soon the cut under
the road will allow them to proceed on q
level.
just east of Main street on the south
side of the railroad the space for new de-
pot is being filled In and graded. Work
will be commenced this fall on the new
structure, and meanwhile the old depot,
which has bsen moved and raised, will be
made as comfortable as possible.

ITS HIGH SCHOOL FIGHT.

Southington Votes to Repair and Re.
fit the Old BuiIding-But Another
Town Meeting Is Now Called on the
subject.
SoUTH1NaToN, July 24.-At Southing-
toms town meeting Saturday on the High
school question, Moderator Walkeiey pre-
siding, Senator Holeomb, having evidently
changed his views, having formerly sup
ported $15. 900 appropriation, presented
resolution to appropriate, in view of the
TIMES only, $1,000 to repair, reft, refurnish
the old building, by clearing out room
now occupied by the furnace, to bs con-
verted into school room, also to rescind
all former appropriations. He supported
his proposition in an able speech. George
F. Smith replied to the senator and favored
new school. R. W. Cowles made an
amendment to the resolution that $40, 900
be appropriated for an addition to the
building. He presented rough plan that
was thought quite favorable of. Here G..
F. Smith amended the amendment by ap-
propriating $21 900, which was voted
on and lost, SO to 1913, the original
6Lueuumeut OL H. w. COWieb WAs also lO5G.
Then George F. Smith moved an amend
ment of $1,000 instead of $1,000. This
was also lost. Finally the original motion
was before the house and was carried.
Senator Holcomb was congratulated on his
success.
Fl. D. Smith then moved that the senator
be instructed to draw up resolution to be
presented at town meeting granting the
power Of engaging teachers for the school
to the town, and that the board of regents
of the SCHOOL turn over to the COMMITTEES
the moneys obtained from the Lswis fund.
Andrew Barnes amended that the town On.
gage all teachers in all the schools, and II
was 30 voted. This, as it now appears, will
| do entirely away with the obnoxious sec.
tartan clause in the Adm Lewis will, which
| relieves the minds of many who opposed
| an appropriation on that ground.
Just as the public were congratulatipe
| themselves that the high school problem
was solved and the tiresome subject was a
last concluded, up comes call for another
| meeting, to be held next Saturday sitter
| noon, for the purpose of undoing all tina
| has thus far been done. and to appropriate,
| $l1 600 TO execute plans in accordance will
| K. W. Cowles' ideas expressed at the meet
| ing Saturday afternoon. R. W. Cowle
was to-day circulating petition to call
| special meeting Saturday for the purpose
stated. 1t was generally believed at tn
last meeting that Mr. Cowles' ideas wer
very good and in the opinion of many i
his amendment had been before the hous
frat as resolution it would have beef
adopted, but to recall it now appears to b
death to it and possibly undo what ha
been done.

WILL WORK BY ELECTRICITY.

The Draw at TomIinson Bridge to be
Operated by Electric PoWer-The
Contracts Awarded Last Evening"
Work to be Commenced at Once and
the Draw to be In Operation Early In
September.
The contract for electrically eauipping
the Tomlinson bridge was last evening
awarded to the General Electric company
of Boston by the joint committee OF the
city and town on railroads and bridges,
the contract price being $1,765. The con-
tract was duly signed by W. g. Bushnell,
the local representative of the company,
and by Messrs. johnson, Maley, Sullivan,
Beecher, Forbes and Clarity, composing
the joint committee. The contract for
furnishing the power was also awarded to
the State street railroad at the contract
price Of $500 per annum.
For several years past the question OF
operating the draw at Tomlinson bridge by
electricity has been one which has disturb
ed the thoughts of both the town and city
officials. During the past few weeks
a number of meetings have been
held by the joint committee with
view to solving the heretofore intri-
cate problem of substituting electricity for
steam A few weeks ago the committee
were on the point of awarding the contract
for motive power to the State street road
when it was casually ascertained that the
road could not supply the motive power
earlier than O'Clock in the morning and
as the statutes require that the draw of
any draw bridge shall be opened at sun
rise 1t was decided that 1t would bs i'm
practicable to make any contract with the
road owing to the lateness of the hour at
which it could turnish the motive power,
and another hitch in the proceedings was
encountered.
The State street railroad officials imme.
diately began planning how they could
meet this new difficulty and have at last
arranged the matter satisfactorily to all
concerned. The road guarantees to furn-
ish motive power for the first year for $500
and to produce power during the months
of July, August and September at 4:3O a.
m. and during the remaining months OF
the year at $50 a. m.
The motive power under the new plan
will be underneath the bridge and the
power will be carried from the shore By
means of a submarine cable. By this new
arrangement the bridge passage will be
clear for travel and the causes of the many
complaints in reference to the lack Of
room on the bridge which have been re.
ceived from the town officials will be re.
moved.
The work of changing the motive powe,
will be begun at once and pushed rapidly
to completion. 1t is expected that the
draw will be operated by electricity early
in September. The motor furnishing the
power will be so horse power. When the
arrangements are completed and the draw
is operated by means of electricity New
Haven will have the distinction of being
the first city in the state to operate draw
bridge by the use of electricity.
