LAUREL HILL BRIDGE NEARLY DONE
Work Includes Entire New Floor System Seven 31a Ton Beams Have Been Put ln-Gang Now Splicing End Posts-Open in About 10 Days.
After nine weeks of reconstruction

After nine weeks of reconstruction work, the Laurel Hill bridge improve ments are now well on their way to completion and in from ten days to two weeks more it Is expected to have the bridge open to public travel again. During the course of the changes temporary wooden footbridge has been in use for pedestrians, but horses and automobiles have had to follow the cir cuitous way around by Talman street and Preston bridge.
 The first two weeks of the work had to be devoted to getting the con crete work torn up, but during the time that the actual steel work has been in progress. the construction has gone on rapidly, considering the dlft1- cult nature of the job and the fact that at the beginning there was de- lay caused by the non-arrival at the proper time of some of the steel ma terial The work that has been done under the direction of Foreman w. U: Allen of the C. B. Sibley company of New Haven with a force of IS men will put the bridge in a condition practically as good as new and will keep it in service, the foreman be- lieves, for a period of thirty years.
 An entirely new floor system has been substituted for the old flooring of the bridge, the iron work of which had become greatly corroded from various causes, and the new steel beams and girders that have been put in are much heavier than the ones they replace. The cross or so-called needle beams are seven in number and each is 95 feet long and weights 1-2 tons. They are placed in position by means of block and falls suspended from the overhead work. The overhead work was found to be in such excellent con- dition that 1t was not necessary to replace 1t, painting being the only treatment needed.

CONDUCTORS REFUSE MONEY.
But it is Canadian Currency and Trol. ley Company Doesn't Want It.

Canadians visiting the shore appre- ciate the effort of New London Busi- ness Mems association, which has had the result of banking and business houses accepting Canadian money at face value, but deplore the fact that the street railway will not Several of the Canadian visitors have been embarrassed by offering money to trolley conductors and having them de- cline to accept the coin of the visi- tors. There have been numerous in stances in which the visitors, uncon- scious of the fact that the street rail- way had not taken the same attitude as the banks and stores, have not had American money to offer for their fare.
 Street railway officials said today that the rule against Canadian money was adopted at the time the New London Street railway operated local lines. It had not been rescinded by the Connecticut company, but the matter had been taken up with the officials, who have 1t under considera- tion. The conductors are obliged to refuse Canadian money

CHALLENGES WILSON.
Republican National Committeeman Asks Where He Stands on Leading Issues.

New York, Aug. 7-Charles b. Hilles, chairman of the republican na- tional committed. started the actual work of the republican campaign at headquarters here this afternoon. One of his first acts was to issue long statement in which he challenged Governor Woodrow Wilson to explain just where he stands in regard to the leading political issues. Mir. Hilles declared that the fight is between the republican principles and those of the democrats and referred to the new party movement as representing a personal distraction declaring that from It's very nature it must be transient"
 In speaking of the contest over presidential electors in Kansas, Mir Hilles asserted that should the su- preme courts decision be adverse to the republican party there would be no attempt made by President Taft to put his name under a different em- blem in that state and get his cleo tors by petition.

contract was that on which the bridge builders are now engaged. that of splicing the two posts on the east end of the bridge. The entire corner of the bridge had to be jacked up. the present steel post sawn through and a new section put in to take the place of the old rusted section. The work on one post is about half completed, and the other one will be fixed just as soon as this Is done. When the second post Is being spliced the jacks will be holding up weight of about sixty tons. The second splicing job will take about a week.
 A number of the smaller posts along the sides of the bridge have also been spliced to remove sections which have rusted badly. On the other end of the bridge the posts were spliced several years ago, and they did not need to be touched now.
 The rusting of the iron work so extensively is believed to be due in large measure to the fact that the trolley company in winter uses salt on the hill just beyond the bridge to re- move ice from the rails. This dis solves in the water which flows down the street, and, unchecked by a catch basin, used to run on to the bridge and penetrate through the flooring to the supporting iron work. Some of the heavy beams have been eaten through in places. Cutters will now be placed along each side of the bridge so that no water containing salt can get to the steel, but instead will be emptied into the river.
 Corrugated steel buckle plates rest ing on the beams will support the con- crete that will be poured as soon as the steel workers are through, and thers will be two inches of asphalt as the finishing layer. The old fence will be replaced along the sides, and paint ed in an attractive shade of dark green the bridge will look like new struc- ture.
