TRUCK THROUGH BRIDGE. Big Four Ton Motor Dray Held for 1t
 Hours.

A four ton automobile truck loaded with four and a half tons of household furniture was gotten out of the hole in the bridge which it broke through IS hours before Saturday afternoon at East Putnam and proceeded on it's way from New Haven to Providence. The truck was owned by the SmedIey Transfer company of New Haven. Friday night the truck was travelling east over the state highway leading to the Rhode Island line when it came to the bridge that crumpled beneath a weight such as it was never built to bear.
 The rear wheels of the big vehicle settled through the planking of the bridge. the forward wheels rising four feet clear of the ground In this posi- tion the truck remained until just af- ter Saturday noon. when Wreckng ma terials that had been sent for arrived from New Haven and were taken over to the site of the accident by F. s Bruce of this city
 In describing how the truck was pulled out of the hole in the bridge MT Bruce said Saturday afternoon that a derrick-li1e arrangement was erected and guyed with ropes, a set ot falls then being rigged and in such g way that the strength of one man was suffici to pull the big vehicle up tC a proper level
 Tn two hours after the wrecking material was received from this city the truck. which was not seriously damaged in the accident, was able tC start on it's way to Providence. The heavy canvas coverings over the loaC of goods. which were valued at abou $1,00O, saved them from sliding oyer the truck and into the river. and ther, was very little damage to the good; because of the jar when the bridge broke through.
 The accident is another argument fo, the replacing of wooden bridges wltl others of reinforced concrete. Auto mobile trucking Is 9 business that i: growing by leaps and bounds anC there is now a great deal of that kinC of traffic through this territory. Thi! is the second truck that has gon, through a bridge in this section within a year. the other case being at Putnam Heights.
