NOrWaEk Wants Trolley Co. To Pay
 Substantial Sum

With the Public Utilities Commission of Connecticut sitting in the council chamber at city hall this morning a hearing was begun in the matter of a new bridge to be built between the sections of South and East Norwalk, at an estimated cost of $277, ,O0O. It Is the desire of the citizens of the two Norwa1ks to have the Connecticut Co. which now operates one track across the old bridge to contribute $10o,O ,O0O towards it's construction and to both double track the structure and lay grooved rails in place of the present Trails.
 The citizens of South and East Nor walk were represented before the body by Judge J. J. Walsh, while Benjamin l. SpocI appeared for the Connecticut company.
 About thirty prominent residents of the Norwalks were present at the hearing among whom appeared up to the noon hour John McMahon, a contractor of South Norwalk, Robert A Mathewson, Daniel H. Miller, Ed ward ES Gorham and John W. Olm- stead.
 It was the contention of the wit nesses that a much wider structure than the one at present spanning the river is needed, that much conges- ton is now noticeable upon the east side of the bridge, and that owing to the crossing of the bridge by the traction company much more expense is entai1ed than would be the case did their tracks not lie across 1t.

CLAIMS PARADE OF EAGLES MADE HIS
 WORKMEN HARDY
President Lud1um of Silver Go. Protests to Mayor Be-
 cause Cars Didn't Run

In letter to Mayor Clifford B. Will son, in language said to be both criti- cal and caustic. James G. Lud1una, of the International Silver company, has made a strong protest against the holding up of transit facilities during the Eagles parade.
 Although Mayor Wilson today re- fused to make public the text of the letter upon the plea that it had been destroyed, 1t was said that 1t dealt in no unneasured terms on the holding up of many of the com pany's employees on Tuesday Many it said were not able to return on the Connecticut connpany's cars in time to answer the whistles call after the midday lunch period.
 When the report of such a letter was called to the attention of the mayor he readily acknowledged, it's receipt and said that while it was desirable to have the streets clear for parades, it was not thought desirable that the traction system should be tied up for several hours as such a condition might create considerable inconvenience to the public.
 On future occasions the length of time needed to parade and the line of march will be taken into consid- eration and the Connecticut company will be asked to cooperate in arrang- ing for facilities over SIfeets where Ine line of march will not crowd materf- ally.
 It was reported today that in one East Side factory a number of enn- pioyes were discharged because they absented themselves without leave tc witness the parade Some factories gave their employees an hour to see the parade. Most factories now have a rule that absence without leave un- der similar circumstances will mean dismissal to the ernphoye Al number of East Side workmen were victims o1 the rule when Ringing Brothers cir GUS showed here
