$4, ,oOo, ,ooo BRIDGE TO
 SPAN THE THAMES.
Will be Nearly Quarter Mile in Length
 and Have Four Tracks.

Engineers of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com pany are completing the plans for the new steel bridge over the Thames river at New London. This bridge is to take the place of the present one which was first opened in October, 1889, or over 23 years ago, having cost to con struct over 8 1,000, GOO.
 All the details of the new structure are not yet fully determined upor. However, certain features have been announced by the company The plans call for a four-track bridge, consist ing of two double track parallel spans. The height of the bridge above the bottom of the channel will be LAO feet. There are to be five fixed spans. four of which will be of 195 feet each and one of 245 feet, and also one draw span having a clear channel of 150 feet.
 The cost of building this bridge IS not yet available but it is estimate q that including certain sections of the approaches, the total cost will be of the present bridge.
 As has already been announced, the present structure was offered to the city of New London for highway pur- poses, but this offer was refused It was subsequently offered to the state of Connecticut as feature of it's high way progra mme. and a bill has been introduced in the Connecticut legisl~ ture providing for the acceptance of
 
 by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company is that the company may have permission 10 run a trolley over the bridge should it be Cccmed advisable.
 The decision of the New Haven road to build this new steel br1oge repre- sents another step in the development of New England railroad facilities. Notwithstanding that the old structure has been in. use but slightly over two decades, ii has been for some time the weak spot in the Shore Line route. Trans have been compelled to slow down at this point, resulting in a de- lay the elimination of which would mean a considerable saving of tim Upon the completion of the new bridge the service between New York and Boston and points adjacent thereto will be materially improved
 As the building of this bridge usF.- CTS in new era of bridge construc- ton in New England. so did the open ing of the present structure represent a long steD forward ir the building uD i the New England railroad system. For prior to that time. trains were transported across the Thames oh ferryboats and before that passengers were required to take a ferry on one side and re- ern bark on cars on the transportation that would hardly be countenanced in these days.
 Announcement of the final plans wifi be made by the company upon compile ton unless at that time the COnnecti- cut legislature has failed to act upon the offer of the company. Actual work on the new bridge is deperdent to n l rge extent upon the final disposition that is to be made of tfe old structure.

from his attitude it would appear that he would not be surprised if the choice finally settled his way. He has 8 record of excellent achievement back of him, including four years work in Providence when the street department here was changing from horse to electric power.
 Those best qualified to say declare that Mr. Pitcher will be the choice of the Hartford street board.
 Civil Engineer Pitcher was asked about the matter Tuesday night. He said it was all news to him and that he had heard nothing about 1t from an official source. If the offer came to him he said he would take time to consider it, but he indicated that he would look upon 1t favorably.
