SAYS THAMES RIVER
 BRIDGE TROLLEY HANDICAP

Inability of the Connecticut company to lay tracks across the Thames river highway bridge to connect the New Lon don. and Groton trolley systems is given as one of the handicaps encountered by the state highway departments. which will result in forced curtailment of the states spring program of road construc- ton, according to the s.ate highway de- partment. The financial obligations of the Connecticut company to the state az gregate nearly s4e0.000. State Highway Commissioner Charles J Bennett, when reached at his office, confirmed a report that several road projects in various parts of the state have had to be aban- doned for lack of funds which had been expected from the trolley company. He preferred not to mention the particular projects which are to be deferred until the necessary funds are available.
 The trolley company's chief liability
 in this respect was incurred by the con struction of the s1,5o0, 900 bridge at the mouth of the Housatonic river between Milford and Stratford. Under the state law authorizing bridges crossed by street
 railways, as is this structure, the state the trolley company and Fairfield and New Haven counties jointly, are required to share the cost equally. Thus, the to- tai obligation of the Connecticut com pany on the Housatonic river bridge will be s500,000, when the structure is fin. ished. On the contracts already com. pleted, its share of the cost to date is s3S0,0 Aside from this, it is s5o 1 900 behind in payments on similar pro 1 jec.s elsewhere in the state. N The state highway department ha.
 been confronted withf ,handicaps at diff ferent times during. .ffie past few year.
Norwich bulletin., 1920-12-30

on account of the depleted finances of the Connecticut company. Less thar two years ago. when the department was con- verting the old railroad bridge over the Thames river between New London and Groton into state highway bridge, the trolley company was unable 10 meet the cost even of laying tracks across the bridge. and the highway department, to avoid the necessity of ripping up the flooring of the bridge at any future time when the, trolley company might be pre- pared to connect it's New London and Groton street railway systems. assumed the expense of laying the tracks with the idea of selling them to the trolley com pany when it was able to pay for them One of the conditions under which the conversion of this Thames river bridge was undertaken was that the trolley company was to have the privilege of crossing it without charge. except for the cost of the rails and the work of lay ing them
 The Housatonic river bridge will be completed next August, and the trolley company's indebtedness to the state on that project will then be $500 .oee, which. added to other obligations arising out of state highway department work. will make the total indebtedness of the com pany to the department at about s55e.- ooo.
 Several construction contractors will he affected by the forced curtailnent of the spring highway program and. unless these contractors have other contracts to turn to. considerable unemployment among laborers will result The state highway department employs between fif- ty and sixty contractors, but 1t has not had contracts with so many during the past year.
