HARrFoRD BRIDGE CASE.
Interesting Argument in Bridgeport Yester-
dav


Bridgeport, March 25.-Before Judge
f. Hall in the superior court, civil
side, this afternoon, Attorney George
p. Mclean appeared for State Comp
troller Mead in the mandamus proceed
ings to compel the comptroller to audit
bills and sign contracts in behalf of
the state to pay the bills Of the con-
struction of a new bridge at East Hart
ford las contracted for by the bridge
commission Of the state. The comp
troller asks for the denial of the man
damus. One question at issue is wheth-
err, under the law of 1893 the bridge
fell to the state instead of the five
towns directly interested.
The bridge commissioners found it
advisable to order a new bridge. The
question now to be decided, it appears,
Is whether under the law of 1898, the
state is compelled to construct a new
bridge at an expense which, it is said,
will amount to nearly $374.000, The
commissioners on the bridge were
George w Fowler and Charles Roberts
of Hartford. The latter sets forth that
the bridge at East Hartford was old,
dilapidated and unsafe, and after con-
sulting counsel found the law imposed
on them the duty of ordering q new
bridge, and they therefore consulted
skilled engineers and ordered the bridge
at the cost stated The commissioners
set forth that they had represented the
fact of the dangerous condition of the
bridge over the Connecticut river to the
secretary of war, Daniel Lamont, and
the latter instructed the commissioners
to have the dangerous obstruction re-
moved. The court was also informed
that the comptroller refused to audit
the bills for the work performed.
Attorney Mclean disputed the le-
gality of the contract as stated The
defendant declared that the present
bridge fills all requirements except for
facilities for electric railroad lines.
He declared that the general assem-
bly, has made no appropriation for the
care and maintenance of this new
bridge. Judge Henry b. Stoddard and
State Attorney Eggleston appeared
for the applicant Judge Stoddard said
there was no question of fact arising
in the case which the counsel would
like to discuss and that there was a
question of law which he certainly
would like to present to the court,
Counsel for the comptroller asked to
present the facts as to the present con-
dition Of the bridge. At late hour,
this afternoon, Attorney Mclean was
busy asking the court to have the
privilege of calling in several skillful
engineers to testify as to the present
condition of the bridge.
