OLD BRIDGE BURNED.
II Connected East hartford With Hartford
aud Cost S135, 900.

HARTFORD, May 1s-The old East
Hartford bridge about which SO much
controversy is now going on In the legisla-
turo was destroyed by fire, only the small
draw on the Hartford side being saved.
The fire started presumably from the cleo
ttic trolley wire at the East Hartford end
ard spread 70 the Hartford end under the
strong draft, setting an naught the efforts
Of tho flremen. In ten minutes several
spans fell into the water, and IN half an
hour all were Como but the draw.
Three trolley cars passed through the
bridge while the fire was inoipient, but no
lives wore lost The flames drew so rap
idly through the bridge that Engine Com
pany SIS men had n narrow escape. Their
hose wagon and horses were burned All
the eastern wires crossed the bridge and
were destroyed
The structure was built in 1878 at q
cost Of Sl35, 600 as a toll bridge, and the
management was assumed by five neigh
boring towns, and in 1928 by tho state.
Bills are now pending TO turn 1t over to
tho five towns again. 1t has been repaired
many times on boing declared unsafe. A
contract had already been signed for new
iron bridge.
The bridge was a covered affair ], 06C
feet long, ana contained great amount
Of lumber from its numerous repairs. II
was tho only bridge over the river In q
miles, and the traffic by trolley and team
ing caused one span to settle in 1898. II
