STATE SHOULD TAKE
 NEW LONDON BRIDGE
Would Be Foolish to Let the Oppor-
 tunity Go.

New London has been fortunate in retaining it's hold on that $1,000, 900 for harbor improvement. But that is not all that the state ought to do by which New London is incidentally the beneficiary, says the Hartford Cour- ant. It is foolish to hold back because general public benefits happen to To- cate themselves at that point
 Wherever you find people who travel across this state, and you find them from Maine to the Mississippi, you find rank and proper condemna- tion of the so-calIed facilities at the river and the only way to cross it is by an intermittent boat, which is ap- preached via railroad slaughter house. People waiting for the boat have to take their chances with the through travel of the great New Eng land railroad and also with the er- ratic switchers of two roads.
 bridge is public and immediate need. The railroad company has out grown it's drawbridge over the Thames at that point and now offers it to the state. There's the chance for Connect icut. It would be ridiculous to de- cline the opportunity, but somebody will be saying, New London again" In fact it is the travelling public that is concerned. So much for that. but the travelling public come in again
 The highway between Hartford, the capital, and New London is now scarcely as good as corduroy road In some stretches. covering miles. it is practically impossible for teams, let alone automobiles. There is a great deal of travel between the two points named, but it goes by routes a dozen to 20 miles longer, because it has to. Travel to New London from here and hereabouts is not limited to Hartford and New London; it includes all the summer drift to the shore from East ern Point to Newport. The present inconvenience is great and the de- mand for better accommodations is pressing and immediate.
