HIT TuNMASTaN

LET THOMASTON PAY HALF.
 The question which came up before
 the General Assembly, last week, in re-
 gard to the maintenance of bridges be l tween the towns of ThomastOn and
 Watertown took quite number of our
 people to Hartford as they wanted to 1 hear what the committee to whom this
 matter has been referred had to say
 about it. The question is one of interest
 to every citizen of the town. Shall we
 pay for maintaining the bridges on the i town line or shall we do as other towns 1 do, pay half? We have been paying for
 repairs and new bridges on the line for
 over hundred years, and no one has
 thought of making a kick but the old
 saying stills holds good "better late l than never' and it would seem that the
 board of selectmen who objected to this
 expense are deserving of great credit.
 The history of the matter seems to be
 about as follows: In 1795 the General Assembly of this state incorporated the
 town of Plymouth cutting it off from the town of Watertown which extended
 chen to the town of Bristol. The di
 yiding line between the town of Water town and the new town of Plymouth,
 was the Naugatuck river and the West branch of the same. In the incorpora- tion of the town of Plymouth the care
 and maintenance of the bridges on the
 West branch was placed upon the town
 of Watertown. The paupers, indebted
 ness of the town, and cash were divided,
 the records to remain in the old town.
 About 20 years ago the town of Thomas
 ton was incorporated by the General As semb'y and was taken from the town of Plymouth and composed the western part of the same adjoining the town of Watertown. Since that time two of the four wooden bridges across the West Branch have been replaced with iron. One by Watertown and one at the ex pense of the city of Waterbury near the l new reservoir. The town of Watertown | through their selectmen, now comes be- | fore the General Assembly and asks that the care of those bridges be apportioned | the same as other towns similarly situ- l ated under the general law which pro- vides that the care and maintenance of | bridges between towns according to the l grand lists of each. This is the general 1 law and not only that but it is the pol icy of the state to arrange 1t in this way. The town of Thomaston is opposed to | this as they claim that they have an over supply of bridges already and that it is hardship tc impose these extra burdens on them. While Watertown is | growing, Thomsston is decreasing, both | in population and grand list. The bill now pending before the General Assem- bly, is to put the care of those bridges on the same basis as other towns, viz the expense be borne equally according to the respective grand lists.
