ouobt NOT 10 DELAY the actual taking over Of the bridge as it now stands
by the state. -,
To study the situation as proposed and plan for a new bridge will
take a great deal of time. Already two years have passed since the
state highway system was laid out, including the bridge as a part OF
Route No. 4. During these two years the taxpayers of Middlesex have
continued to bear the unjust burden of this bridge. The expense is
becoming too great. Every year the repairs become more extensive as
the traffic increases.
There is n objection to the State Highway Commission making
q study of the bridge situation here with a view to improving condr-
tions. but the state should bear the expense of maintaining the bridge
while the studying is going on. Middlesex has carried the od long
enough. 49,.
That sentiment is rapidly developing in favor of Immediate action
by the state in this matter is apparent. Yesterday the EVENiNd

Washington, Sept. 1.-The reques.
Of the senate foreign relations com
mittee for latest drafts of the pro-
posed treaties with Germanys allies
have been refused by President Will
son on the ground that compliance
Would set precedent encouraging SEN
atorial encroaehment on the presiden-
tial power of treaty negotiation:
In seriese of letters made public
Mr. Wilson wrote that it was "eut of
the question" to accede to the COM
mittee's suggestion. Chairman Lodge
replied that although the treaties
were closely connected with the treaty
with Germany, the President un-
doubtedly had authority to keep in
formation about them from the SEN
ate if he chose.
Brings Another Impasse.
The correspondence apparently
brought another impasse between the
President and the committee on the
much debated subject of what infor-
nation the senators should have in
their consideration of the treaty with
Germany. Mr.. Lodge and others have
declared the committee could not act
intelligently until all of the Versailles
treatiese were before it, but at the
White House conference Mr.. Wilson
told the committee nat the form to be
taken by the four treaties under ne
gotiation depended largely on the SEN
ate's action regarding the instrument
now before it.

A copy of the agreement of June
16, relative to the Rhine district, also
was denied the committee, the Presi-
dent writing that it would only be
come pertinent after the treaty was
ratified, and that the publication now
might be embarrassing to other gov
ernmehts.
