REPLACE LYME BRIDGE
 THAT ARTISTS ADMIRED
Iron Structure to Be Erected in Place
 of the Slaassamv Bridge.


 The highway conmission of the state. in awarding the contract for building a new bridge over the Lieu tenant river. where the upper road crosses, cleared a dispute that has long been source of. bitterness to the res idents of this town and to automobil- lsts who pass through. here. The old bridge which will be torn down has probably been reproduced on canvass as often, if not more often, than any bridge in the state. Tn the very early days of the Old Lyme artist colony the bridge was recognized as one of very beautiful lines and one of the first artists to paint 1t was the world -fa- nous Childes Hassarn. The picture proved to be one of his most successful and it was not long before the bridge began to be known as ssrhe bridge that made Childe Hassana famous" The artists, however. who are ever for giv- ing to their colony the credit for every good thing in the town. called it ''The bridge that Childe Hassarn made fa- mous.D Many other artists tried paint ing. 1t and pictures of the bridge have hung on the walls of art galleries far and wide over this country and Eu- rope.
 Formerly the structure, one might say, was both useful and ornamental but in the last few years the useful ness has dropped an alarming degree About two years ago soon after the completion of the highway bridge over the Connecticut river at this point, a new state road was built through the town and this road crossed Bow bridge as the .fIIassam' bridge is very often called. Over the old road there had been very little traffic, but the new one Is the main artery of travel 1 between New Haven and New Lon don and the constant stream of heavy | motor cars proved too much for the l old wooden frame. The town saw this very soon and urged the state road | commission to build d new bridge. The commissioners answered that they had not been in the habit of building new bridges in places where a state road followed an old town highway and so crossed a town bridge.
 In June of this year, at the time l of the boat races at New London Bow bridge. Although there were no ported by the Associated Press and l the Hearst agency. Undoubtedly the | disagreeable prominence given to the | deadlock between state and town had much to do with settling the difficulty
 The SelectInen conceded a point and | shamefacedly went to work and put 1 down new planking. Before the blanks had been so loose that in places they would rise four or more inches when I a car passed over them The highway | commission did nothing for six months 1 but it has been reported. through re- i liable sources that last week the con- | tract for building a new iron bridge | was awarded to a Danbury company

lie spirited citizens of Harrisbur as
well as members of the university fac
ulty have worked hard to establish
the institution so firmly in this city,
The classes will be held on the

to several of the students that as soon
rs possible after the opening of the
school, the men get together and form
a class organization. In the Philadel-
phia evening school the men have
their own organization as well as their
own football, baseball and debating
teams. Banquets, smokers and other en-
tertainments are given continually
through the winter. In this wav the
men partake of social life and recre-
alton, while getting their business edu-
cation.

tion of Thanksgiving night until De-
