BOTTLED WHiskEY STOLEN
 FROM sLosBERG SALOON, Safe Was Ransacked, But Nothing of
 Value Taken.

Some time during Saturday night some person went through the saloon of Jacob Slosberg at S5 Franklin street, carrying away a dozen bottles of Whis key. It was thought that the marau- der had hidden in the cellar during the evening and when all was quiet had taken a bar and an axe and probed the inner recesses of the safe. There was rothing of value in the safe and the door had been left open. The in ner drawers and compartments were pried open with the bar, but nothing was taken The thief then turned his attention to the whiskey and selected about a dozen bottles of the best in the house. The man evidently made his exit through a side door into the alley between the saloon and the Kuebler building. as this door was found open Sunday morning.

A bill has been drafted to meet these requirements, giving the power to the board of control The measure is as follows:
 That section 30 of the general stat ntes as amended is hereby amended by adding after he word assembly in the last line: The board of control buildings or land or both, owned by the state and not necessary for the use of the state, at public or private sale, for cash or credit on such terms as the board may approve, and they may execute the conveyal ce there of"

The total attendance of 13, 403 chill dren who enjoyed the playgrounds speaks very well for their popularity and usefulness.
 The children enjoyed the swings and sec saws very much, keeping them going from the time they arrived until they left. At Hobart avenue they had a croquet set which was kept busy all the time.
 There were two accidents on the playgrounds One at Lake street, the swing breaking when two boys were swinging on it, and one of them breaking his ankle. The other hap pened at the Falls; 8 boy falling over the sand box and breaking his thigh.
 The open lot makes a much better place for the children to play in than ger of breaking windows, and then they can make all the noise they want to without disturbing people.
 For next year, I would suggest more croQuet sets, morning and afternoon supervision of the grounds and if pos sible getting each teacher to keep the grounds longer. Changing the teacher means that the children have to get used to a new teacher who has differ ent ways of doing things. If a teacher has a playground only two weeks, she is only just learning what the chill dren like to do when she leaves, there fore each teacher ought to have play ground at least four. and if possible, eight weeks.
 Supervisors Report.
 Miss Mckay. playground supervisor, presented the following report:
 MT. Chairman, Members of the As sociation: I visited each of the six playgrounds twice week, visiting two grounds in one afternoon. I always found the children playing games and using the apparatus i'll an orderly manner. The teachers took part in the games and saw that each child had his turn at the apparatus, being care full to prevent accidents.
 I made out 8 list of about 52 games for each playground. These lists in- cIuded games played in different for nations. games played with balls or

NEW BRIDGE WITH
 SEVEN PIERS, FIVE SPANS
Also Two Lifts for Vessels. on the
 Thames to Pass Through.

There seems to be some doubt as to what type of bridge the New Haven road is to erect across the Thames and where it Is to be located. All this was provided for nearly four hyears ago when the railroad company first announced its intention of erect ing a new bridge across the river, and it's willingness to give the old bridge to the state.
 In order to secure the approval of the war department to the erection of a new bridge it was necessary for the New Haven road to file a plan of the proposed new bridge and its location. This was done about four years ago and approval of the war department to the plans was obtained. So also was the consent of the Connecticut by the passage of a bill, in which the plans of the company were outlined.
 interviewed MelIen.
 A committee of the New London Business Mems association in March, 1909, saw President MeIlen and other officials of the New Haven road and discussed the proposition of securing the present railroad bridge for a highway bridge, but as 1t was too ex- pensfve a project for the city of New London to handle unaided, it was deemed best when the proper time arrived to ask the state to take over the old bridge and convert it into a highway.
 Apparently the time has now ar rived to take active measures to carry out the project Senator Miners bill to accept the bridge is the prelim- mary step.
 The original plans as shown by drawings in the hands of the New London Business Mems committee con templated the location of the new bridge no feet north of the old, with clear channel for passage of yes sels of 150 feet. It is to have seven piers, five spans and two lifts for the 150 foot channel through which ves- sells are to go. It Is to have four tracks. of which two will be for i'm mediate use. There will be 36 feet clear headroom under the channel span at mean high water.
 Plans for High way Bridge.
 Four years ago the feasibility of leaving the present bridge standing after the new one is erected and utfI- izing it as a highway bridge was thor oughly gone into. At the request Of the Business Mems committee the en gtneering department of the New fla ven road very kindly drew up plans showing B profile of both the old and the proposed bridge and . sketch
