Travellers Want Temporary Bridge. During the past few days a great deal of criticlsm has been heard of the selectmen for not having some kind of a temporary foot bridge acrgss Hart's pond at or near the point where the main highway bridge went ddwn Monday afternoon. Dur- ing the day many of the people living south of the pond use the temporary bridge which has been erected for the use of the employes of the Ameri- can Paper Goods company but this bridge is closed after factory hours, as it is located an the company’'s grounds ,and forces the traveling public to take a round about way or cross the dam.

If in craossing the narrow stone work at the top of the dam a person should slip he would be severe ly injured as there is a drop of at least twenty-five feet onto the rocks below. People living along the high- way south af the bridge and in the habit of going to New Britain or Ken- sington during the evening have been forced to stay at home or take the roundabout way which delays the trip 4t least a half hour. Citizens com- plain that something should be done to take care of the matter until such a time as a decision is reached in re- gard to placing a new structure over the pond. A temporary wooden bridge for foot passengers or several boats would help matters to a more or less degree and save the peaple forced to use the bridge a great deal of trouble. It is hoped and expected that something will be done in regard to the matter within a very short time. Graduation Tonight.
