NEW BRIDGE FOR
 BALDWIN STREET.
Plans Meet With Approval of City, R. R. Co.,; Await
 Final Endorsement

old Baldwin street bridge ad- jacent to the plant of the Scovill Manufacturing company, across a branch track of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com pany and located at the corner of Baldwin and Mill street is to be torn down soon and replaced with s a modern structure. The bridge is the oldest structure of its kind now spanning a local, main thorough fare.
 Plans for the new bridge are now nearing completion in the en- gineering department but the final approval will not be given starting the construction activities of, until the regular spring tour of inspec- ton by the board of works takes place.
 The bridge not only spans the Mad river but also the right-of-way of the New Haven road. The latter concern, 1t is understood, has ap- proved of the city engineers plans. The reason for approval from the railroad is the fact that enough headway must be assured for trains passing under the bridge. Trains use the line to serve the Scovill Manu- featuring company, the 1nterna- tional Silver company and whole sale oil and gasoline plant in the far eastern section of Waterbury.

 The tribute reads as follows:
 "This parish has suffered a distinct loss in the death of one of it's most loyal and faithful servants, Sister Claudine. Some forty-five years ago she anne to Waterbury to assume charge Of St. Mary's school and convent, 8 charge that was not relinquished until she closed her eyes in ever- lasting sleep. Everyone acknowl- edges that they were forty-flve fruitful years, that they were years spent in giving her all to the education of youth and the service of the church. Few nuns can claim the distinction of be- ing in the one place so long a time, much less of being superior of that place for the same length of time. In this fact alone do we find proof of her rare ability. No pastor had any fears for his school as long as Sister Claudine was in charge. He knew that the education of his children was in safe hands. And when she went before God she could say in all truth, I have finished the work that Thou gavest me to do, have done my best; I have tried to be a faithmul servant. And everyone who knew he'd can testify that her life and her work left little to be desired.

Administrator

the pioneer days when parochial schools were in their infancy, yet in spite of this handicap, St. Marys school from the very be- ginning, had an excellent reputa- tion for scholarship, 8 reputation that 1t has never ceased to main tain. The credit for this high standing in all justice must go to Sister Claudine. She knew what true education meant, she knew how to handle children, she knew how to direct those under her charge; and in every problem, large or small, she showed rare common sense and judgment. This parish and this city have been the gathers for her wise administration. Hundreds of pupils still sing her praises today when they recaill the influence she had on their lives either di- rectly or indirectly; directly through her own contact with them, indirectly through the sis- ters who worked with her, in whom she in5tilled the same vir- tues, the same characteristics she herself possessed. The influence she yielded the good she did during all these years cannot be measur- cd. And as we look about us and note the number of young men and young women who were un- der care at some time or an- other may we not say that she contributed in no small way to the depth of faith that we find in Waterbury.
 In the education of youth, Sis ter Claudine had few equals. But there was something about her greater than this. It was the Saintliness of her life. This was evident to all who came in con- tact with her. She was remark able, not because she did extraor- dinary things, but because she did ordinary things extraordinarily we'll It is of such qualities that saints are made. If, too, as Car dinal Manning said, feryer con- sists in punctuality, regularity and exactness, she could be said to be fervent to a very high de- gree. She lived according to rule and never deviated from that rule. All her actions were guided by the light of faith and by the thought of eternity and not of time. Following the example of her divine Master "she did all things well"
 Memory Remains
 St. Mary's school will miss her. This parish will miss her. We shall not look upon her like again. She is gone, but the memory of her and her works will remain. Her influence too will remain be- cause 1t is interwoven in the his- tory, in the very life of this par ish. She served her God faith fully and we'll and has merited her just reward. May her soul rest in peace"
