 The drewging of Quinnipiac river above the Quinnipiac drawbridge began yesterday morning. The work will be continued to the Grand avenue draw bridge. Some time during the month it is expected that the channel, under the bridge. will be dredged. This will ne- cessitate closing the bridge to travel and considerable inconvenience will en- sue.
