rock will necessarily require blasting and more time. But it is considered that 90 days will give a good margin for extra difficulties that may be met and perhaps the conditions may per- init the job to be put through in not much more than 60 days. President Perkins said that the work will be rushed and. an effort made not to have the street blocked by excavated ma terial any longer. than absolutely necessary. Eighty pound rails are to be used on the extension and work will be begun on the south end where the line will connect with the Franklin street tracks. and extend as far as Pratt street. Arrangements will be made with the city electric department and the telephone company for the joint use of poles, so, that no more poles than necessary may obstruct the street.

Plans for the laying of the new trolley extension up. Boswell avenue without delay are being made by the officials of the Shore Line Electric Railway compaLy. and just as soon as the material that is now on the way arrives. President Robert w. Perkins said Thursday night. the work of lay ing the new tracks will be begun. For years the matter of an extension into that part of the city which is situated along Boswell avenue has been desired by large number of people, and peti- tion after petition has been addressed to the officials of the Connecticut com spany. At sundry times visits of in- speetion by railroad men have been followed by rumors that the desired extension was at last to be built. but always action has failed to follow in the train of the trolley officials in spections. The needs of several thou sand people whom a trolley line into that extension will accommodate has evidently been recognized by the Plant system which took over the Norwich lines in July and in consequence comes the authorized statement that after hanging fire for years the Boswell ave- nue extension will be a reality in 8 short time
 The time required will depend upon the nature of the excavating for the roadbed that is encountered, and much

WORK BEGUN ON THE
 THAMES RIVER BRIDGE.
the Site of New Structure 134, Feet North of Present Bridge.

Preliminary borings for the new four-track bridge which the New ' York New Haven and Hartford railroad is to build across the Thames at New London are now under way and it is expected that they will be completed in the course of another three months. when the final plans. based on the re- suits ot such borings. will be drawn. This will take possibly another six months,
 It has practically been decided to locate the new bridge about 134 feet north of the present structure, and bor1ngs made in the river at this point have disclosed bedrock at 8 depth of 90 feet below high water mark. Bor- ingS made at the site of the present bridge have failed to disclose bedrock, consequently the new site would seem much superior In the construction of the bridge no caisson work probably will be done, Instead the piers will be constructed on top of piles driven down to bedrock.
 shorter than the present bridge, as the company has obtained permission from the war department to extend the abutmentS out into the stream beyond those of the old bridge. This will mean that the new bridge will have certainly one pier less than the old bridge, and probably two.
 Like the Connecticut river bridge, the piers will be four track piers, but only two tracks will be built at first. One of the matters yet to be decided in connection with the new Thames river bridge is the exact type of the draw. Engineers of the company are now engaged in making a study of this question. Two types might be said to be under consideration. One of these is the so-called bascule bridge which lifts up perpendicularly, as if it were on hinges. The other type is lifted up between two towers. It will be some time before a decision is ar rived at It is expected that there will be on the whole few changes in the preliminary plans drawn for the bridge and already made public. The height of the bridge above the bottom of the channel will be 40 feet. A rough estimate places s4000 900 as about the cost of the new structure Upon it's completion one of the few points of delay in the service between New York and Boston will be elimi-. mated.

kEYEs PRODUCTS COMPANY
 EXPECTS TO REBUILD.
Much Business on Hand When Inter rupted by the Fire-Ampie insurance Carried.

General Manager W. B. Hoggett of the Reyes Products company came up to Montville and looked over the ruins caused by Wednesdays fire and also visited this city on Thursday. where he said that the company carried in surance of $90. 000. IL was stated on Thursday that the loss will easily go up to sS0.0G0. for the addition which burned contained the finished product of the company as well as a large quantity of the raw material. The machinery was found to be badly buckled by the intense heat of the fire and it was considered Thursday that it would be as expensive to have it fixed up as to procure new equipment. The plans of the company are to re- build without delay. The company was just about to start in on some big or ders and business was rushing when the fire came. General Manager Hog gett returned to New York on Thurs day to confer with officials of the company and Supt. James R. Bolger is in charge at he plant. The ruins had pretty well cooled down Thursday night.
