HOW NEW THAMES BRIDGE
LOOKS TO HARTFORD

The Shore Line trains have been
crossing that very obstructive es
tuary known as the Thames river
however you choose to pronounce it
by the new railroad bridge for a
week. That leaves a still remark
ably good and substantial bridge
which the railroad had outgrown,
but will with proper care, carry
highway traffic safely over for more
than one generation. The state is
expected to take it over soon, and
make suitable arrangements for
adapting it to replace the old ferry.
Then will the way eastward be
clear at last. Ferries had their
time. Connecticut some time ago out
grew the sort of ferries it had. Hart
ford Pilgrims will remember the time
when the way they often took to
eastern Connecticut and Rhode Is
land had in it two they could not
forget. They could cross the Connec-
ticut here, but sometimes business
took them down this side of the river
so that their convenient spot was at
Saybrook. After waiting long for the
always absent ferryb0at lit was past
comprehension how the lone craft
could always be headed for the other
shore no matter when or from what
direction one arriyed} they decided
when they saw the craft that to in
convenience should be added danger.
But the old Lady Fenwick usually got
them across in the course of time, and
in more time they reached the land
Of the Colonel Ledyard. That was a
stauncher boat but what it lacked
| in danger it made up in delay. Be
tween the two ferries and the toll
! bridge at Niantic-if one took the
shore route-it was more than an or
| thodoX Sabbath days journey, in
time, from Old Saybrook to Groton.
| Time crumbles a good many OBJ
| stacles, and the world not only do
move but it finds ways of accelerat-
! ing the movement. In the course OF
! time there is free course over the
| highways of Connecticut, even if
there is still a toll to pay occasional
