Chamber of Commerce Wants New Bridge Over Connecticut River
 Built at Site Near Rocky Hill
New Britain Business Organization Will Express Preference in Correspondence With Commission
 Appointed by Governor TrumbuL

is believed here that the entire state should be considered and that :he commission will listen to and con- slider the plan for a structure lower down the river.
 Governors Commission
 This commission is composed of Judge Raymond A. Johnson of Man. chester. who will probably serve as chairman; former Senator F. N. Allen of Hartford. Morris S. Tooker of Wethersfeld. former Representative Eugene w. House of Glast on bury, and Representative N. Howard Brewer of East Hartford. The group plans to meet within two weeks and begin its preliminary survey. It has authority 10 determine the need for the bridge. it's location. type. and design. and the probable cost, and is to report to the governor before the 1881 assembly meets. It may ask the Connecticut river. bridge and high way district commission for infor- nation regarding the construction of the present Hartford bridge and may engage an engineer as an adviser The boring Of tube under the river bed will also receive consideration as a substitute for the bridge.
 That portion of the Connecticut which flows through Connecticut is approximately 60 miles in length, and only six bridges span it within the state These are located at Thompsonville. Warehouse Point, Hartford. MiddIetown. East Haddam and Saybrook. The stretch between Hartford and Middletown is IS miles long. and. since this is the cen- ter of the state, the local chamber believes that any new bridge should be located within that district. To make the bridge accessible from the western side it would be necessary to construct between four and five miles of new highway from Rocky Hill to some point on the Berlin turnpike. while a stretch of about similar length would be necessary On the east side between South Glas- tonbury and the Glastonbury Marl- boro highway.
 If the bridge and connecting high ways should be built. it would place New Britain on main highway. whereas at present it is just off all the trunk routes through the state.
 The Chamber of Commerce direc- tors on January oS. passed the fol- lowing resolution: "Voted-That this board go on record as approving the location of bridge at Rocky Hill at sllch time as provision is made for an additional highway bridge over the Connecticut river" They will now carry on their campaign as soon as the newly named commis- sion is organized.

The location of a proposed new Connecticut river bridge at Rocky Hill will be urged by the New Brit ain Chamber of Commerce upon the bridge commission appointed yes- terday by Governor John H. Trum- bull, it was announced today by Sec retary Ralph H. Benson of the local zation will take the matter up with the commission of correspondence in the near future and will also rrs. ent it's views at any hearings which the commission may hold, he said. The chamber is already on record, through votes of is executive coin- mittee and board of directors, as favoring the Rocky Hill site. and it will seek to obtain the cooperation of the chambers in other Connecti- cut cities in supporting it's project.
 The building of second triGge across the river at Hartford is looked upon by the local chamber as a false move, for it is held by local
 
 little benefit to any except Hartford users, while the construction Of a bridge at point between the pres ent ones at Hartford and Midd!etown would shorten distances and relieve traffic in the congested Hartford dis trict. it is said. If bridge were built at Rocky Hil, the chamber members feel, tt would benefit a great number of individuals and concerns in New Britail and throughout the state by craating a new direct east-west route.
 Would Cut Down Distance
 This would cut down the distance between New Britain and points such as Willimantic. Marlboro and even Manche ster on the other side of the Connecticut and would benefit other cities as much as it would this one. Mr. Benson said. The saving in time is believed to be even greatr r than in distance. for it would not he necessary to go through the cantor of HartforI, where much time is lost in tn, haa.y traffic
 Traffic on the present Hartford bridge is conccsted to higr degree, and that city has been seeking re- lief through second way across the river. To investigate this matter, the 1929 general assembly passed bill authorizing the governor to ap- point a commission. and this the governor did yesterday. While the Hartford site is the one receiving the major share of attention. local chamber members feel that this To- cation would benefit only the Capi- tai City While the Hartford argu- ment is admitted to be weighty. it

 Wants to Have Fun

"She don't like me any more. She says she's young and wants to go out and have fun," Edward Semrau. 39, of 273 Myrtle street, told Judge Stanley J.

Asked how old his wife is. he replied that she told him she was IS or 19.
 Probation Officer E. C. Connolly testified that he made a check-up on Semrau's earnings and learned that they averaged s25 a week.

ALDERMEN ABATE TAX ASSESSMENTS
Take Favorable Action in 165
 Cases and Reject 20

Members of the board of alder men, meeting last night to consider requests for abatements of personal taxes. took favorable action on 165 cases and rejected 20 petitions.
 About 100 abatements were made on recommendation of Welfare Superintendent John L. Doyle, whose office had conducted investigations and singled out the worthy cases. A majority of those who were told they need not make the se payment this year are persons who are on the charity list or who. because of infirmities or conditions which have been carried over from previous years proved their inability to make payment.
 Too Soft Hearted. Johnson Says
 As case after case passed before the aldermen. Alderman J. Gustave Johnson expressed belief that the aldermen were being too soft hearted and that criticism will come. This failed to impress Alder men D. l.. Nair. Walter R. Falk and Peter !. Pajewski. who favor ed giving the applicants the bene- fits of all possible doubt.
 Several of the applicants admit ted they were working steadily, and one who put un a pathetic plea was seen boarding taNicah in front of city hall when he found the weather stormy.
 Alderman Johnson. an insuranc" man, recognized one of the appli cants as a woman who was recent ly arrested for attempting to de- fraud an insurance company. When the alderman sought 10 question her. she ended the interview by walking out of the hearing room.
 Illness and unemployment were the chief reasons given for asking bat ements. but these claims did not always check with the report of Investigator Doyle, who gave H. nuor and laziness as the outstand- ing reasons for his suggestion that many be denied.
