BLACK ROCK BRIDGE PROJECT IS HELD UP Mayor Learns No Plans EXist-Discovery Is
 Serious Setback

The movement for a new Black Rock bridge stopped short today when it became known that no plans are in existence for such structure, despite statements made to Mayor Paonessa at a conference with New Haven" railroad repre- sentatives last week.
 The mayor, acting on Engineer F. J. BeithS report that a plan WAS prepared in 1927 contemplating a bridge 50 feet wide and having guaranteed capacity of 20 tons, re- quested Acting City Engineer George J. Molleur to procure a copy of the plan. Engineer Molleur communi- cated with the Waterbury district offices and was referred to head quarters at New Haven, where he learned today there has never been a plan and that the movement pro- gressed only to point where sketches were made.
 The railroad company engineer, MT. Beth. was not in charge of the work done in 1927. and his state ment to the mayor was based on information which he had received and which he understood to be &C., curate.
 It is expected that today's devel- 1 opment will strike serious blow at the movement for q new bridge. l Engineering surveys and preparation of an entire bridge plan may now | be necessary.
