NIANTIC RIVER BRIDGE HEARING
Efor Made Have the State and Net the County Pay
 Bill Believed Cost Would Not Exceed $65oo0

l Senators Whitoa. Barnes and Hewitt of the 1915 session. who were appoints ed a commission, by the members of New London county, to investigate the
 matter of a new bridge over the Man tic river Joining the towns of Water ford and East Lyme, a new bridge having been ordered by the federal government, reported at a hearing tn Hartford Tuesday that the expense would be perhaps $65.000. Under the present plan the bridge is maintained by New London county. There was another plan for bridge farther up the river that would cost 5000. The commission did not think the county should be forced to bear the expense which has been ordered by the gov ernment.
 Representative Geary of Waterford, said the questions were whether the state should build the bridge, or the two towns. as the present bridge must
 be removed by next December. He favored the location of the bridge a few hundred feet to the northward of
 the present location. which would cast
 more but be more economical in it's up-
 keep This location has been favored
 by the county commissioners. This
 new bridge must be six feet above
 high water mark, and would entail
 more or less land drainage In the
 present location there is a terrific cur
 rent that tends to undermine the bridge piers by the churning waters.
 The service of divers are frequently
 called in to make repairs. In the new
 location all this could be averted and
 more safety guaranteed the fishermen
 and others who used the river. The
 present bridge is in a precarious con dition. The bridge is very much trav- eIed part of the highway, and a. bridge in the changed location would be a public benefit that would be appre- ciated.
 Seriater J. H. Barnes stated that the present bridge was to be reconstruct ed by order of the government, and he was informed that the government orders could be complied with and that the cost would not exceed $65, 900. He believed the cost ought to be paid by the state rather than the county
 Senator Whitone recited the origin of the bridge, it's use as toll bridge, and then made a free bridge He re- ferred to the importance of the bridge in connection with the state mobiliza- tion camp at Mantle. and therefore the right to ask for state aid Sena tor Whiton explained in detail the changes ordered by the government and submitted plans The county plan was for a. new To- cation for the bridge and the cost would be $9O,e00. The repairs to. the present bridge could be done for con less. For the reason that the state has taken over the toll bridge, and appropriated for a part

FAITH AND PURPOSE
Subject of Shop Talk Given at Silver
 Company's Plant.

Faith and Purpose was the subject which General Secretary Edwin Hill of the Y. M. c. A. spoke on in the ab- sence of of Rev. Joel B. Slocum D. D., International Silver company Tues day.
 In this day and time we need to have a strong, verile faith and a defi- mite purpose First, we need to have "a faith in God that will get us steady and calm in the midst of trying circum- stances. Then we need to have faith in our fellow men, For unhappy is the man who has lost faith in others Some of our fellow men are far down in the moral scale. Down deep in every hu- man heart there is a spark of manhood and it is for us who have been re- deemed by the power of Christ to help to kindle that spark into a flame. We also need to have faith in ourselves. Some feel that they are of no use grip on themselves. The fact is that every man is of use to God. We need others and others need us, and God needs every man. Oh, that all men everywhere might link themselves with the great purpose of Jesus Christ. If low men and faith in, ourselves, we will naturally have a definite purpose in life which will lead us to be of a real service to the world.
 Then he closed with quotation of these ines:
 Standing by a purpose true
 Heeding Gods command; Honor then the faithful few,
 All hail to Daniels band. Dare to be a Daniel
 Dare to stand alone: Dare to have a purpose firm, and
 Dare to make it knewn
 Hugh Kinder rendered two vocal se- lections.

1 of it's maintenance, and although not ou the state highway but, # it's mfli- tary importance, he believed the state should build the bridge It is a question of cost, in the matter of the new location and there was no doubt as to it's preference. but the cost was almost prohibitive.
 Waldo F. Clark. civil engineer, stated that the bridge at the old location. could be satisfactorily rebuilt for s45.- 900. not including the land damages. Mayor Rogers. of New London. stated that if the county was to build the bridge. forty per cent of the cost weaid be borne by the city of New London There surely is need for a
 new and substantial bridge Former Senator Alton T.. Miner of New London. stated the condition was unusual and there would have been no change in the bridge. but for the
 orders of the war department Under the circunstanees. the expense should be borne by the state. as the state owns the bridge and aids in it's main tenance.
 MT. Russell of East Lyme. opposed
 the repair of the old bridge and fa- vored new bridge in a new location.
 Joseph crattsndsn refer over the bridge, and alse to the trans
 fer of the regulars from the island forts to the military camp at Mantle
 From present indications. there may
 be increased use for that bridgs. He favored a substantial bridge and in the new location suggested by Mfr. Geary
 John F. Beckwith. of East Lyme, favored a change of the bridge, and To- cation. and opposed the continued ex- pense of repairs to the old bridge.
 M. R. Darrow, of Mantle, said he went under that bridge frequently and the current there was extremely dan gerous. The passageway at the pres ent bridge is surely dangerous, and not safe to navigate. If more piers are placed at the old bridge the dan ger is increased. He favored a per manent bridge on the proposed new location.
 Former Senator Hewitt said the plan of the committed is to build new bridge in the same location as the old Either the county or the state must build the bridge. There is no reason why the county should bear the ex- pense the main benefits are to the towns of Waterford and East Lynne and the Connecticut state military camp. He favored a. commission to build the bridge.
 State Highway Commissioner Ben nett said he did not favor the build ing of the bridge by the state. as it would mean that other bridges under similar conditions would demand state The state department therefore would be called upon to take over all bridges.
