|ELECTRICS CANNOT CROSS BRIDGE
On Advice of Engineer Who Examined Laurel Hill Structure
Cars That Line Are Not Making Full Trip-Quite
Extensive Repairs VIII Have be Made Say Engineers.

, Superintendent Anderson that it was
In bad condition and should be repaired
but he will report to headquarters and
II is expected steps will be taken di-
! rectly to make the needed changes.
The engineers in reporting the bridge
in bad condition, stated that they did
not declare it unsafe, as 1t will I'M
doubtedly maintain all the load that is
put upon it for a year. and possibly
| two, three or five years, but IL is not
intended to wait until it gets to the
dangerous point before the repairs are
made.
The floor beams of the bridge are
found to be rust-eaten and corroded
from the effects of the weather and
gas from the engines passing beneath.
That portion over the railroad track
having been replaced a few years ago,
is in much better condition than that
over the river. IL is expected that a
test will be made at once to deter
mine just how bad the condition is
and then the repairs Will be hustled
along. 1t is expected that il will be
quite an expensive JOB. but it s impos-
sible yet to tell what the expense Will
be. estimate having been made of
the amount of new material 70 be put
in
The bridge, when erected, cost about
900 The expense of repairing it
will not reach any such figure as that,
stated the selectman, as it viii not
mean rev bridge, by any means. but
quite an eNtClSlNt anu iS-
placing OF the under portion of the
bridge is anticipated. AS far as could
be learned. the supporting overheard
truss portion Of the bridge is not at
fected, the trouble being found under
meath where the beams support the
flooring. The plates and cross beams
are badly corroded so the sending Of
cars across there is considered unWlse.
Superintendent Andersen stated that
Selectman LIIlibridge called his atten-
ton to the bridge and through head
quarters he secuI ed an engineer TO look
It over, with the result that he said
extensive repairs must be made. and
when the report of the engineer is re-
ceived it is probable that the work
will he started right away. He said
it was not known what the repairs
would cost

| Orders were given on Thursday at
noon by Superintendent Anderson OF
the Connecticut company here that
no more cars are to be run over Laurel
Hill bridge, with passengers for the
present How long this will be eff
fectiye will be determined by the re-
port which Engineer Hough, who was
here Thursday. and made an examina-
don of the bridge, will make concern
ing the structure. All Thursday after
noon the car stopped at the foot of
Laurel Hill avenue, the passengers
walking from there, or to there to get
the car.
The order was issued because of the
condition of the bridge, which needs
extensive repairs it has been found.
The bridge has not been condemned
and has not been declared unsafe. but
the cars are the heaviest loads which
Use it. they weighing from eight to ten
tons loaded, and 1t was decided not to
send them across and take any
chances.
About two weeks ago Selectman A.
W. Lillibridge had Engineer Hanna Of
the Berlin Bridge company come here
to look over the bridge He made an
examination of it as far as he could
from the top, but there was no way
then of getting underneath. nusn-
Der of plates were sent on to be placed
about the supports where old ones have
busted through and when the men
came and placed them in position they
rugged a swinging staging underneath
and made an examination and report
ed to SeIectman LiIlibridge that At was
in bad shape and ought to be repaired
at once. An engineer was sent on from
the Berlin company and he being able
to get underneath made a similar re-
port ds did the workmen on the repair
gang.
While the bridge belongs to the
town, the Connecticut company, which
has a track over it. pays a part of
the expense of keeping it in repair.
For that reason Selectman Lillibridge
took the matter up with Superintend-
ent Anderson of the local lines and he
bad Engineer Hough come here on
Thursday and make an examination.
After looking the bridge over from
the swinging staging he reported to

REAPPRAISAL OF MONTWLLE's
PROPERTY FOR TAXATION
New Grand List Will Be About 81 600
900, Which vii! Mean Larger Rev
enue from Taxes.

Through a reappraisaI of all the prop
erty of the MontVille grand list, TO be
taxed in Montville, which was COM
pIeted last week by the three assess
ors, Nicholas Church, Gilbert P. Coates
and d. Chester Comstock, it is report
ed that Montvilles grand list will be
increased about 60 per cent, so that
on the present 16 mill tax rate the
town will get between $4,000 and $1o,-
900 more in taxes.
Although the new appraisal has not
been figured up to a total yet a well
informed taxpayer in that town stated
on Thursday that this would be the
result of the reappraisal, since he was
informed that the former grand list
of s1,055,929 would be raised TO about
$1,000, 600 The rate stays at 16 mills,
the same as last year. so that an addi-
ton of $500, 900 to the list would mean
$4,000 more tax raised
The assessors have put in about a
months work on the reappraisal, Wis
fting end making a personal inspection
of every piece of property in town to
be taxed.
The new grand list, as left by the
assessors, leaves it higher than the
amount fixed by the state board of
equalization for the town last year,
which was 81 4S0.929.
