TO BUILD BRIDGE
 OVER QUlNEBAUG
State Has Made Survey For New Structure on Pomfret
 Street
Believe Work Will Be Begun In Near
 Future

While no definite statement has been given out by the state highway department, 1t Is understood that a new bridge is soon to be built over the Quinebaug river on Pomfret street opposite Cargill Falls. It is known that surveys have been made by the department on several ocea- sions and 1t is understood that plans have been drawn for the new strue- ture. Just when the work will start IS not known but 1t is believed that it will begin soon.
 It is hoped by those interested that the states plans call for a wider bridge than the present narrow iron structure, which is not wide enough to allow two vehicles to pass without danger. City Engineer. George W. Perry. is of the opinion that the bridge should be 40 feet in the clear, including two six foot sidewalks. This would conform to the width of the highway on the west side of the river.
 That a new bridge is to be built by the state at this point will be gratify- ing Co the citizens of the city of Put nam. Hundreds of people passing through Putnam go to the bridge to view the falls which are admired for their rugged. natural beauty

ALEXANDER GILMAN THE
 ROTARY MEETING SPEAKER

Alexander Gilman, president of the Putnam Building and Loan Associa- ton. head of the A. Gilman X Io. store. and member of the board Of water commissioners, was the speaker at the meeting of the Put nam Rotary club Wednesday noon.
 Alr. Gilman told something about the work of the water board on which he serves. and the difficulties eneoun- tered in providing a water supply for the city. He said that his idea that tne water rates were too high. was quickly dispelled when he became a member of the board.
 An income of S25. 900 year be. sides operating expenses IS necessary to meet the commissions obligation on borrowed money. Then there arc the expenses for wornout and filled up pipes, installation of new ma chinery and many other items to be met.

 The company had drill. This was not the case in some places where the men merely assembled and ans wered the roll The department has held that where drills were not held pay Is not merited.
 Captain Me1arry has expressed himself as more than pleased at the result of the test as Go his own com. pany and the governor and stah otii- cials have expressed pleasure and qualification at the showing made throughout the state.
 The call of the governor was Con- necticut's part in the national defense test.
