TOWN IMPROVEMENTS.
Plank Bridges at EimviIIe and Alta
waugan and Cuivert at East kiiiingiy
to Be Replaced by Concrete and Steel
STRUCTURES.

In carrying out their policy or SUD-
shutting concrete culverts and bridges
when such water crossings have to be
repaired or renewed, the selectmen of
the town of KillingIy have voted to so
change from planked affairs the Gull
vert at Mashentuck brook near the
Valley schoolhouse at East Killingly,
tho bridge at Elmville and the bridge
at Attawaugan. The work is to begin
within a short time
Steel rails for use in the changes to
be made have arrived here. 1t has been
found by the selectmen during the past
three or four years that the use OF
these rails in conjunction with con-
crete makes a stronger, more durable
bridge and one that can be maintained
at fraction OF the cost of upkeep that
must be met where plank coverings are
used.
For instance, the bridge to be
changed to concrete at Elmville has
cost the town $50 year for the past
eight years for replanlling alone. The
high price of plank has also been a
factor in inducing the selectrnen to
adopt the more modern and substantial
method of repairing the bridges and
culverts in the town of Killingly, the
maintenance OF which amounts to a
considerable sum each year.

cellent dinner that he prepared.
