1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE

I. e. Carpenter says it pays TO
advertise in the Herald and that
distance makes no difference when
1t comes to making sale from an
ad in the popular want ad section.
Sometime ago Mr.. Carpenter adj
vertised a Is foot mahogany speed
hull for sale in the want ad col
umn of the Herald. He sold the
speed hull last week to a man in
Duluth, who had read the ad. The
sale was completed by mail and
the speed hull is on it's way to Du-
luth, to a satisfied customer. All at
the small cost of two bits.

Early Transatlantic Travel

Early transatlantic fares did not
include food at all but simply
transportation and water. In those
times passengers had to bring their
own supplies, usually consisting of
crackers, ham and similar nonper-
ishables. In 1870, a 270-ton ship
carrying 40 transatlantic passen-
gers, only two kettles, each con-
tanning three gallons, comprised
the total cooking equipment for
~"ssengers.

New Hartford Bridge
Sought By Thousands
Campaign for Prompt Construction OF One Underway;
Plans Prepared By NatinOally Known Designers

were nearly deprived Of all means
Of obtaining medical supplies, and
emergency equipment.
Thousands Of employees and ofn-
cials were unable to reach Hartford
places OF employment In insurance
offices, Industrial plants and other
business places, from their homes
east of the Connecticut River. For
days business and industry in cen
trail Connecticut were all but par
alyzed.
The bridge, for which plans have
already been prepared by a nation
ally known firm Of bridge design
ers, would extend, 1t Is proposed,
from Wawarme Avenue, south OF
the business and industrial section,
in Hartford, to Silver Lane and
Main street, East Hartford.
Viaducts Planned
A suspension bridge is contem-
plated with O main span 300 feet
long and 90 feet above low water
and two end spans 400 feet in
length. Viaducts would connect
with existing highways. The overall
length of the bridge and approach
es would be somewhat less than
5000 feet. 5.t :
The structure Is designed TO carry
a four-lane highway, 40 feet be-
tween curbs, and. two sidewalks,
each five feet wide. At the East
Hartford terminus the bridge road
would pass over Main street, which
carries the congested traffic Of the
New London Turnpike between
southeastern Connecticut and Hart
ford. stt a.
The Colonial motif Is the doniin-
ant characteristic In the architec-
tural style proposed for the bridge.
The massive, stone anchorage piers,
at each river bank, and the tall,
steel towers from which hangs the
suspension span, are both developed
along simple and graceful Colonial
lines to match the best traditions
of New England.
The towers, most conspicuous
features of suspension bridge, win
extend 200 feet above the river.
Aviation beacons atop the towers
will carry the total height Of the
structure to $50 feet.
Construction Of the bridge will
permit all motor vehicle trafilc be-
tween southwestern and western
Connecticut, and beyond, and east
ern and northeastern Connecticut,
and beyond. to avoid the congested
streets of Hartford and East Hart
ford and will make possible more

with the necessity Of an addition
al means Of crossinl the Connecti-
cut River at Hartford forcibly es-
tablished during the flood last
March, a campaign for the prompt
construction Of another bridge
there has been started by many
Of the thousands Of persons de-
pendent on the bridge.
The memory Of that week, during
which raging waters not only In
undated the Hartford bridge, but
left no means Of crossing the river
for q distance Of so miles, Is still
fresh in the minds Of the hun
dreds Of thousands Of persons who
have at least occasional need to use
the presen; bridge.
That an acute need for the addi-
tional bridge existed to properly ac-
comodate traffic, was definitely es-
tablished more than six years ago
by an investigating commission
created by the General Assembly
in 1929.
Stark reality last March, when
most of eastern Connecticut was
cut asunder from Hartford and
western Connecticut, brought home
to those concerned the immediate
need for another bridge, one disable
even during record breaking Hood.
Need Greater Now
The erection Of such bridge was
authorized by the 1881 General AS
sembly but no money was provided
for its construction. Now, with the
need for the project considerably
greater from a traffic viewpoint and
the possibilities for tragedy inner
ent in another flood condition as
O further incentive, the Connecti-
cut River Bridge Association has
been organized to seek legislative
sanction to finance the bridge IN
the same way as were the Merritt
Highway in Fairfield County and
the bridge being erected across the
river between Middletown and Port
land.
The bridge, and Its approaches, as
planned by the engineers five years
ago, would have been above the
crest of last springs record breaking
flood. Used as a means Of carrying
gas mains and electric cables across
the river, the bridge would also
have averted the condition Of last
