ERECTING, AN OFFICE
 --,. FOR BRIDGE WORK.
Signs. That Work For New Bridge Over Thames Is Soon to Begin.

After several years of investigation, planning and preliminary work the great steel and concrete bridge to be constructed by the New Haven road across the Thames. to replace the pres ent structure is about to be com menced. It was announced on We'd nesday on excellent authority that this gigantic engineering task,- involving an estimated expenditure of S3,00O,- 0o0 will be under way before exterme cold weather. |
 Western contractors. who are at present engaged in building a massive bridge spanning one of the largest rivers in the Country, were at New London this week estimating the cost of bridging the Thames and examining the various phases of the work. A field office for the use of the engineers en- gagged in supervising the construction ot the bridge is now in process of erection north of the plant of the LenoX Oil Co. sThe building. which is of wood, 20 by 40 feet, steam heated and electric lighted, is the first tang ible evidence that the mammoth en- terprise is about to be gotten >dnder way.
 According to those familiar with the detalls or the new structre, its build ing. will be an operation of much in terest to the engineering world. It will have concrete, substructure with steel superstructure of three 33O feet riveted truss spans. one 1855 feet fixed span and one 1S4 feet bascule span. The work of putting the big piers i in place will it is said. be most spec l tacular. The depth to which they will ] be sunk is understood to be from 145 | to lSO feet. As it is impossible to work by the. use of compressed air | under water at a depth greater than | 11O feet it Is assumed that caissons | with the blue sky overhead. will have to be constructed to the depth to which the piers descend.
 It was 26 years ago this month that | the present bridge, then the longest span in the world, was opened for above Douglass in. New London, was cleared of its buildings and other | property above Hallam street had to be taken. Finding a solid foundation l Tor the piers proved a big undertaking The depth eventually used was 10312S | and 139, feet respectively

great many insane cases are curabie and that the cure rests not alone, in medical treatment but in diverting tho patients mind from the cares and tribulatipns-imagfnary ~or reai-that crush mentality. A visit to either fo these inetftutions-inspecti are welcomed-reveals about every con ceivable means for the benevolent care of the inmates.
 The high standard to which the Norwich hospital and the manage nnent has been elevated Is in a great measure attributed to the indefatiga- ble work of Dr. Henry M. Pollock. the superintendent, who has made the treatment of insanity his life work and who is a recognized authority. It Is to be regretted that Dr. Pollock has rendered his resignation, the same to take effect in Febrnary. The excellent system he has developed will. 1t is hoped, survive his departure.
