FLU EPIDEMIC ON WAIVE
 BUT SOME PNEUMONIA CASES

Health conditions in Norwich are steadily improving as the days go by and at the present time it is apparent that the influenza epidemic is fast fading away and will continue to do so if the people will maintain the san e care in sneezing and coughing in public places that they did when the epidemic was at it's height For the past few days there has been no re- port of new cases oS influenza How ever there gre a good many cases of old fashioned pneumonia in town. the majority of these cases originating from weather conditions and the care lessness of people in getting their feet cold and wet.
 City Health Officer Brophy states that people should be careful not to get chilled or to get their feet wet If person should get his feet wet he is advised to go home, change his shoes and stockings and take some hot stimulant Immediately.
 AS to the epidemic of measles that was reported last week Dr. Brophy says that there has been no notice able spread of the disease although q few cases have apeared in the Bos- well avenue and Suath street section of the city. The number of cases in town remain about the same as last week.

TWO NORWICH BRIDGES FOUND WEAK

Two Norwich bridges, one over the Yantic river on West Main street, and the other over the Shetueket river at Eighth street have been found by En- gineer Shepard B. Palmer to be unsafe for heavy traffic. After carefully in- specting the bridges MT. Palmer stat ed that the bridges were not safe for loads over five tons and warning signs to this effect have been posted at the two bridges at both approaches
 Both bridges are of the old fashion ed type and their day of usefulness is over for the motor truck which has superseded the horse drawn trucks and frequently carry loads varying from five tons to seven and even eight tons. Many long distance moving vans from Worcester and Boston go through Norwich and often times car " loads that exceed five tons. With these bridges limited to a five ton load, especially the West Side bridge, traffic will have to take another route or else truck drivers will have to un
 load their trucks and make two trips of it, which is hardly possible. Many local concerns with plants at Thames vile and on the western bank of the river cart heavy loads across the West

Main street bridge and frequently these loads average well over five tons. With the new load limit in effect it will mean added carriage expense to these concerns to get their freight to the New Haven freight Yard and re- turn
 The Eighth street bridge does not ordinarily carry such heavy traffic as the West Main street structure.
 Both these structures are the old fashioned wooden and iron type and are a source of expense tot the town to replanll and keep in condition. With lumber at the price t is today the years upkeep in planking alone is no small item of expense to the town. A new bridge for West Main street, con sidering the increased traffic. would necessarily have to be of modern con- struction with concrete flooring and heavier iron and steel girders Un- doubtedly the abutments to the bridge would have to be reinforced < The need of new bridge has long been felt and at various times the matter has been agitated without result. The finding of the bridge to be unsafe for heavy traffic will practically neces- sitate the building of a new bridge in the near future.
