BRIDGES MUST BE
 KEPT UP BY CITY
Four Structures In New Britain Come Under Provision of Recent Legislation

F New Britain will be burdened with fthe expense of partly maintaining four
 bridges over railroad tracks that here
 tofore were cared for by the New
 York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road as a result of enactment of a bill at the last session of the general
 assembly which provides that cities and towns in which such bridges are
 located, and not the railroads, must
 hereafter assume the costs of main- tenance.
 The only overhead bridges here are the Black Rock bridge, Willow bridge, and the Corbin avenue bridge, the last named being one that was contracted by the city about eight years ago to provide a suitable roadway leading from West Main street southerly in the direction of the Hart & Hutchin- son company's plant.
 The Black Rock bridge is the most extensively used of the three. It forms a part of the highway between this city and Plainville and at the present time is in excellent repair. Willow bridge, on Ellis street, is per haps the least used. It is a wooden structure and forms rather bad spot in the roadbed, being at point high CT than the ordinary level of the road to both sides. Corbin avenue bridge, being of comparatively recent con- struction, is also in good condition.
 The act is as follows:
 An Act Concerning the Repair of Structures Over or Under Railroads.
 ,,ly c,, perstructure of any overhead bridge crossing a railroad, including the floor beams and stringers and its abutments or piers, shall be maintained and kept in repair by, the company operating such railroad, and the roadway there over and the approaches thereto shall be maintained and kept in repair by the municipality having Jurisdiction over and in which the same are situ- ated. If a highway shall pass under n railroad, the bridge and it's abut- ments shall be maintained and kept in repair by the company operating such | railroad, and the subway and its ap- breaches shall be maintained and kept | In repair by the municipality having | over and in which the | same are situated. If such highway | shall be trunk line highway or a public or state aid road as defined in section 1878 of the general statutes, he roadway over such railroad or the underneath the same, and the approaches thereto, shall bemaintain-- d and kept in repair by the highway in the manner provided tot t1Ita tho a{n- enance and repair of trunk line high ways or public or state aid roads, as he case may be.
 Section 2-Section 3719 of the gen. ral statutes Is repealed.
 Section 3-rhis act shall take effect rom its passage.

TELEGRAPHERs SEEK RISE.

Chicago, July 2S.-The adJudica- ton of working rules and an increase averaging six cents an hour in the rate of pay for telegraphers on 30 railroads, were asked yesterday by E. J. Manion, president of the Order of Railroad Photographers, at a hearing before the United States railroad la bor board.
 Mir. Maniun requested that the board establish the increase of six cents an hour or restore the post war wage scale of the telegraphers. He said that the present average wage of the telegraphers was 60 cents an hour.
 In addition to the wage increase, the board is asked to interpret the present working rules. which MT. Manion charged the railroads with violating by their interpretations of them. He asked 'an eight-hour day, time and a half for overtime after the eighth hour, time and a half for the meal hour, when missed or cur tailed, and two weeks vacation with ray because the telegraphers now work seven days a week.

 Sila met couple of fellow coun- trymen a week ago. They talked of old Russia and bought Sila a seat at the circus and peanuts and soda pop. Then they showed Sila the machine that made s5 bills right before his eyes.
 The price? Dirt cheap, considering. Only s2,000. Sila drew his s1,400 from the bank and borrowed $500 more. That's all.

the older son six vices and one virtue.
