DRAWBRIDGE OPINIONS.


Corpora ton Counsel Robertson Says il
is Matter for Secretary Of War.
There has been much discussion in
this city considering the rules regard
ing the hours of closing Tomlinson
drawbridge. A large number of boat
owners have complained and have dis
puted the rules of the city until the
question has become very interesting
one. 1t has been advised that the city
communicate with the secretary of
war in regard to the drawbridge clos
ing.
Corporation Counsel Robertson has
rendered lengthy opinion on the ques-
ton, in which he cites the case of the
Escamba Ect. Trans. Co. vs.. the city
of Chicago, where a similar state of af-
fairs existed. The case is reported at
length in the 107th United States Re-
ports. The court in that case refused
to enjoin the city of Chicago from clos
ing the bridges of the city at stipulated
hours.
Justice Field in his opinion said
among other things that the power
regulating rules pertaining to the ques-
ton embraces the construction of
roads, canals and bridges, and the es-
tabishment of fences, and it can gen.
orally be exercised more wisely by the
state than by a distant authority.
In 1894 the United States congress
passed bill providing that drawbridges
shall be opened and closed under rules
and regulations of the secretary of war,
A penalty of not more than $4,000 fine,
nor less than $1,000 is provided for fail
IRE to refuse passage to a boat, under
the regulations.
by this statute it is evidently meant
that municipalities like New Haven
may have the secretary of war make
rules regulating the opening and clos
ing of drawbridges"
Corporation Counsel Robertson also
cited two instances where cases were
taken to the supreme court favoring the
cities in both cases.
The opinion in tles cases reaffirms the
general principle that the states, or the

Colchester, July 25.-Anson Strong, a
boy about twelve years of age, young
est son of the late Edward l.. Strong
had a narrow escape from being gored
to death by three-year- bull belong
ing to A. II. Foote. He was driving
some cattle from the road into the lot
when the bull rushed out from the bush
es and knocked him over striking him
in the head and making bruise above
one eye.
The boy succeeded in rolling under
the fence A brother, some two years
older, hearing his call for help, threw a
stone at the amal with such good aim
that one of its horns was broken.
This somewhat distracted the atten-
ton Of the bull and the younger boy
managed to throw rope around it's
head and together they managed to fast
en- the bull to tree.

cities, being under delegated powers
from the states, have power over the
navigabe waters within their limits to
make certain regulations as to obstruc-
lions across the same, on the theory
that no action of the general govern
ment carries with it implied assent to
such action.
Mr. Robertson also advises that the
question be laid before the secretary of
war and that rules and regulations be
made by him.
