MARRIAGE CENTER FOR
 RUSSIANS AND GREEKS
Priests of Their Faiths Bring Out of
 Town Couples Here.

Through the location in Norwich Of a Greek priest and Russian ortho- dox priest, this city is becoming the marriage center for the towns Of the Thames river section for all the couples of those two faiths who would enter into matrimonial bonds.
 On Saturday Mike Masuta and Helen Yuchena, both residents of New Lon don, were married by the Russian or thodox priest, who is Rev. N. Nil1o- lenka, who lives at No. S5 Seventh street.
 To comply with the state law gov- erning marriages of two non-residents, the license has to be secured five days ahead of the day when it can be de- livered into the hands of the persons to be married. This obliges the out of town bride or bridegroom to make one trip to see the town clerk five days before he can give the license into their hands. Then five days after they have given him the necessary sta tistical information they can return and receive the license to present be- fore the priest who is to perform the ceremony. In some cases this has oc- casioned some embarra ssment with those who came here from another town and were ignorant of the law about the five-day wait. When they
 have been planning to have the we'd
 ding the next day, the only thing tc
 do was to postpone the ceremony, as they could not be married without tht license.
 Licenses for the marriage of out of. town couples that have been issued
 by the town clerk are the following: Maral Mutasilowsky and Miss Stefanis Burzicka, both of Montville; Johr Buctko and Miss Josie Raschowsk;l both of New London; Jel1or Shtindinf and Euronia Onischuck, both of Tan tic; Mike Coral and Miss Parosks Dilnno, both of South Lyme; Fiiyj Domanuk and Miss Dominika Stapka both of Jewett City. The cere1nonie. are all to be performed by the Greel priest, as indicated in the license.

CEMENT ROADWAYS FOR BRIDGES
Selectmen Will Use $102s6 Voted by Town Meeting Some of the Smaller Bridges Will be Repaired First Structures Have be Strengthened to Garry Weght of Cement Roadbed.

Cement roadways for number of the bridges of the town, as we'll as the strengthening of the bridges to enable them to support these heavy roadways, will be the use to which the SlO,2S6.04 will be put which was voted in the town meeting on Monday night, although First Selectman A. w. Li1- libridge said on Tuesday that he could not tell just which or how many bridges this kind of work would be done on. Norwich is literally endow- ed with bridges which the town has to care for, in fact he thought it prob ably had more bridges than any other town of the state. There are from 20 to 24, and the selectmen's statement shows that in the last year nineteen of them called for some expenditure although in some cases the amount was onsidsrable.
 The largest amount spent was for putting in the small Willow bridge over Willow brook on the Salem turn pike. This was in such bad state of repair, both as to the bridge and
Norwich bulletin., 1914-10-07

the aputments that practically an en- tire new bridge was built, This was of concrete construction and although only a small bridge, the cost was $9S1.S7. This is an indication Of how expensive the concrete bridge work is, although when it is done it is a per- manent job for years.
 To put in concrete roadbeds and do the other necessary work for all the bridges or the town would cost S10o,00e, it is estimated, but with what has been appropriated this year the selectniea intend to get rid of some of the smaller bridges first. One of the things that develops in planning to lay concrete roadhsd on even an iron bridge is that the bridge has to be Strengthened in some ways to car ry the roadbed. This was the case with tine Preston bridge, which the se- lectraen are now having replanked They found it would cost about S5,001 to strengthen the bridge and abou. S4,o0o to lay the concrete roadbed.

PLEADS FOR AVERAGE
IN FIXING ASSESSMENT
Member of State Board Says Valua-
ton of Property Varies i'm
Most Counties.

INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 9.-Eben II.
WOlcott, member of the state board of
tax commissioners Thursday urged
that an effort be made by the assess
Ors to more nearly strike fair aver
age in assessing property over the
state. He read the address of the
board to the county assessors in the
annual joint session held here.
Mr. WOlcOtt said that during the
last session the assessors were not so
much at fault as in many cases the
county boards of review made rules
that tended to defeat the efforts of the
state board. The state board he said,
was exerting every effort to secure
equalization in the assessments.
Mr.. Wolcott said the average value
assessed against farm implements in
all the counties of the state was $751;
so; household furniture S43.50; auto
mobiles about $500; horses sS1; cattle
SGT: hogs 81. In the different coun-
ties the averages varied greatly.
