The Hartford Bridge.

The present session of the legislature is likely to prove very interesting one, and one of the most interesting ques- tions before it is that relating to the Hartford bridge. The following is, we think, fair statement of the matter. By an act of the General Assembly pass ed in 1893 the state assumed the main tensnce of the highways and bridges across the Connecticut river at Hartford, where the bridges then were. The law provided for the appointment by the governor, with the consent of the senate, of a board of three bridge commission CTS for the care, maintenance and con- trol of said highways and bridges, and the expense of the repair and mainte- nance of said highways and bridges, which should be incurred by the com missioners, was assumed by the state A new bridge being necessary, the com missioners appointed under the act made contract with the Berlin Bridge Go. to erect new bridge at an expense of $350,000. The bridge company has entered on the performance of this contract and already thousands of dol lars have been expended on the con- tract. And now at the present session of the legislature bill has been intro duced to repeal the act of 1893 and throw the expense of the bridge on the towns of Hartford, Manchester. East Hartford, Glastonbury and South Wind sor. This bill is strongly and ably ad. vocated by Ex-Governor Bulkeley. The reasons urged by the ex-governor are that the commissioners have incurred an extravagant expense. that they have exceeded their authority, and that the benefit of the bridge is limited to the five towns above named and the burden should not be thrown on the whole state. On the other hand it is insisted that the bridge commissioners acted clearly within their powers, that the law authorized them to make the con tract they did. and that the state il bound by their contract and can nc more repudiate it than an individual car repudiate contract made by him That for the state to do so would be { violation of the provision in the fedora constitution prohibiting the states from passing any law ''impairing the obliga | fion Of contracts ''
 There is no doubt that the bridge is { strictly local affair, of no benefit to any part of the state except the five towns we have mentioned, and the expense o the bridge should never have been as sumed by the state and the towns hay ing no interest in it. Besides the law of 1893 stands as bad precedent and will lead to the saddling of other bridge. in the state. We say, repeal the law o 1893. It is, however. true, in our opin ion, that the state has made legally binding contract with the Berlin Iror Bridge Go. and that that company vii have to be satisfied in some way.
