BETTER BRIDGES COMING.

 concerning the improvement of high ways and a great deal has been ac- | complished in making the roads of Connecticut smoother and more per
 manent. Another problem has not
 been so freely discussed, but it is here and will soon need to be met, 1 and that is bridge-making. With the introduction of heavy trucks the pres ent country bridges are too weak to stand the strain and a demand is growing up for more durable bridges o1d-fashioned bridge has recently been brought to the attention of autoists who go over the mountain road from TariffviHe into North Bloomfield. Re pairs have been in process for two or three weeks, owing to the destructive work of a heavy vehicle, which pass ed over the bridge month ago. An autoist who was passing over the bridge, noticed that his car was slow ing up, when he was on the bridge, and he lost no time in giving some extra gas and pulling out as fast as he could. Just as he reached the end of the bridge, he looked behind him and saw fifteen blanks fall into the river, g. distance of about thirty feet Tn the Investigation which he started he found that heavy furniture truck had recently been over the bridge. The driver Of the truck probably had no conception Of the damage which had been done and it would be hard to prove that 1t was his truck which did the damage but the lesson that the asuCOlSI got -ITOIn the 1uClOSnI was L-ldL heavy trucks need good bridges and country bridges should be strengthen ed
 Now that five-ton trucks are becom- ing the common thing about city streets and trucks bearing two or three tons of coal are daily to be seen it is natural that the country cousins should wish to enjoy the advan gee which come from rapid transportation of this kind. As long as the weak country bridges stand as a barrier to buyers will be deprived of the con veniences in transportation which those living in the city enjoy. The introduction of auto trucks is likely to construction of sbet 1r bridges in the future and the reconstruction of many which are already in need of repair
