TRAILING

The bicycle bridge mile or more
 north of North Haven Is broken and
 in a dangerous condition and tall wheel
 men who travel that way should be careful if they wish to escape serious injury. The wreck of the bridge IS que
 to the fact that a team, or; as is be-
 lieved, one of the heavy automobiles went across the bridge and broke 1t down. The bridge was built three years ago by the Wallingford bicyclists
 and was constructed in maneer that would have served the use of wheel
 men for a score of years without any accident, but it was not intended TOT horses or automobiles and any driver of either vehicle who had any regard for decency would never have attempt ed to cross it. Some of the drivers Of
 the many automobiles that go between New Haven and Hartford have as llt- tie regard for law or decency as some of the drivers of horses. The bicycle
 bridge and path were built With money
 subscribed by bicyclists and the path
 Is for use of wheels and no other ve-
 hicIes. Several of the automobilists
 have made a practice of riding, where it was possible, on the bicycle path, but as yet they have made no ofIer to
 chip in and keep the path in order As the situation now Is there IS no
 money in the bicycle path fund to re- pair the bridge, as all was expended early in the spring to put the path in order for use, and the wheelmen have not shown any inclination to contribute | this year although in many cases asked 10. The bridge will be repaired when | the money to pay the bills for work IS forthcoming and probably not before. l D. P. Griswold, w. H. Mckenzie and | George $.
