FRIDGE TO THE YALE FIELD.

The work which was begun on the
new bridge to the Yale field on Derby
avenue over the West river in the early
part of the season is now nearing COM
pletion and the bridge will be ready
for use at the Yale-Harvard game on
Tuesday, June 27, Although it is the
ultimate intention Of the Fair Haven
and Westville Street Railway company
to carry their tracks over the bridge
for the accommodation of traffic at the
large games at the field, the tracks will
not be ready this spring, nor in all
probability until the fall games next
year. The bridge in itself, however,
and the grades which have been made
in the road during it's construction will
greatly facilitate the handling of the
crowds.
The bridge is one which is generally
known as a through girder bridge
and is constructed with two sidewalks
fourteen feet in width on either side of
the roadway whose wheelguards are
forty-two feet apart. This gives the
bridge a total breadth of seventy feet.
When the double car tracks are laid
over the bridge there will be ample
room for carriages on both sides of the
tracks. The supports of the iron trestle
are made of a heavy red sandstone.

NO LAY-OFF OF POLICEMEN
Commissioner Mix Says That the Re-
port is Without Foundation.


port is Without Foundation.
President Mix of the board of police
commissioners, when asked last night
as to the truth of the report that 1t
would be necessary to lay off patrolmen
this summer owing to the insuf1iciency
of the appropriation to pay the regular
expenses of the department. said that
there was no foundation in the report
He said that the board had done some
figuring and that the expenses for the
wear could be paid out of the appropri-
alton without laying off patrolmen in
order to save money.
President Mix also said that there
was no probability of the removal OF
superintendent Wrinn. He said that
the superintendent is under civil service
rules. as are the other members of the
department, and that the only way he
could be removed would be by prefer
ring charges of incompetency, inefficen-
cy or neglect of duty, and proving those
charges.
