suffices amply for all the traffic that goes over the road, although it IS the main trunk line between New York and Boston, except the trolley car traffic. y There was never any question about the sufficiency of the bridge until trolley tracks were placed upon it. The roadway of the bridge is narrow, and teams, or automobiles, in using the part of the roadway de- voted to them, are in some danger since there is not more than a foot or two between them and the car. But the real inconvenience is to the trolley company, and the demand for a new bridge, if 1t could be traced to its source, would be found in the neighborhood of the offices of the Connecticut company.
 The question raised is not a new one. Why should the taxpayers con tinue to bear the expense of building bridges for wealthy public service corporations, which have received free valuable rights in the highways. and who exact a large profit for tn- different services.
 Rep. Bingham of Naugatuck sug- gested that the trolley company should pay at least half the cost of the bridge. 1he suggestion will be greeted with approval by all who like fair play. Half the cost is in fact 'too little, since more than half the strain which the bridge must bear is inflicted upon it by the trolley traffic
 Bridgeport has the same problem within its own borders. The East Washington avenue bridge, which long suffioed for the ordinary traffic, has been all but destroyed by the burden of the trolleys upon it. Now that the problem of rebuilding 1t is to be met. Mayor Buckingham and the> city attorney are trying to secure the passage of a bill which, if it be- comes law, will make the Connec- ticut Company an equitable sharer ;n the cost. New Haven has joined with Bridgeport in demanding the passage of the bill and 1t may possibly get through the General Assembly,
 Judge Banks, in arguing that the state should pay the cost of the bridge proposed between Milford and Stratford, referred to the circum- stance that the tax on street railway property is collected by the State The towns and cities do not enjoy the revenue. although the property on which it Is collect ed in fin the towns and cities. He admitted that the use of the bridge was largely to the trolley com- pany.
 But every person who pays taxes cannot expect to have a bridge built for his especial use.
 There is another remedy.
 If the Connecticut company does not care to pay it's share toward the cost of a new bridge, and if the pres ent bridge does not suffice for the general public and the trolley com pany, condemn the bridge so far as it's use for trolley cars is concerned and let the company build a bridge at it's own expense for itself
