Adjournment Bridge Contract Awarded. First Selectman George B. Carter announced this morning that the con- tract for the new East Berlin-Crom- {well bridge over the Mattabessett river, has geen awarded to the Ber- ‘lin Construction company. The bridge, with the exception of the ce- , ment flooring, will, according to the plant officials, be completed by June 20 Work on the flooring will start at this time and it is expected the bridge will be open to traffic by the | first of July. The cement flooring is | to be six inches thick and will re- quire some time to harden. A feature of the new bridge will be that the cement flooring will be crowned so that the water will drafn off. Many thought the bridge would be built similar to the one near the | American Paper Goods in Kensington {but Mr. Carter announced that in time of rain the water stays on the bridge and he as well as the Con- struction company officials thought it best to build the new one with a crowned road. It was voted at the special meeting held a few days ago that $3,500 be appropriated for the bridge. The town of Cromwell is to pay one-half of the expenses. Motherhood Club Meeting.
