BRIDGES MUST BE KEPT UP BY CITY : Four Structures In New Britain Come | Under Provision of Recent Legislation New Britain will be burdened with the expense of partly maintaining four | bridges over railroad tracks that here- tofore were cared for by the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road as a result of enactment of a bill at the last session of the general assembly which provides that citles and towns it which such bridges are located, and not the railroads, must hereafter assume the costs of main- tenance, The only overhead bridges here are the Black Rock bridge, Willow bridge, and the Corbin avenue bridge, the last named being one that was contructed by the city about elght years ago to provide a suitable roadway leading from West Main street southerly in the direction of the Hart & Hutchin- son company's plant, The Black Rock bridge is the most extensively used of the three. It forms a part of the highway between this city and Plainville and at the present time is in excellent repalr. Willow bridge, on Ellis street, is per- haps the least used. It is a wooden structure and forms a rather bad spot in the roadbed, being at a point high- er than the ordinary level of the road to both sides. Corbin avenue bridge, being of comparatively recent con- struction, is also in good condition. The act is as follows: An Act Concerning the Repair of Structures Over or Under Raliroads. Section 1—The framework or su- perstructure of any overhead bridge crossing a railroad, including the floor beams and stringers and its abutments or piers, shall be maintained and kept in repair by the company operating such railroad, and the roadway there- over and the approaches thereto shall be maintained and kept in repair by the municipality having jurisdiction over and in which the same are situ- ated. If a highway shall pass under a railroad, the bridge and its abut- ments shall be maintained and kept in repair by the company operating such 1ailroad, and the subway and its ap- proaches shall be maintained and kept in repair by the municipality having jurisdiction ‘over and in which the same are situated. If such highway shall be a trunk line highway or a public or state aid road as defined in section 1378 of the general statutes, the roadway over such railroad or the subway underneath the same, and the |approaches thereto, shall bemaintain- ed and kept in repair by the highway commissioner in the manner provided by the general statutes for the main- | tenance and repair of trunk line high- ways or public or state ald roads, as the case may be. Section 2—Section 3719 of the gen- eral statutes is repealed. Section 3—This act shall take effect from its passage. | 'ASK LAWS T0 REFORM PENN.

London, July 28.—The old contro- ve centering about the demand of the admiralty for a separate air force for the navy has been revived in the last few days and rumors are afloat that certaln members of the admiral- ty board, including Earl Beatty, first sea lord, would resign unless their claim was granted. During the early part of the present session of parliament when Bonar Law, then premier announced that the question would be referred to the committee on imperial defense whose decision it was understood the ad- miralty had agreed to accept. This committee has now made its report and although it has not been publicly issued it is belleved to be averse to the aims of the admiralty and that it proposes to relieve the sit- uation by a compromise which would admit certain naval officers to the air ministry.

Sketches have been prepared by the city engineer showing two layouts by which it is hoped to remedy a con- dition that now causes some conges- tion in traffic at this point. Mr. Kim- ball offered on behalf of the corpora~ tion the use of some land when the city agreed to sanction the placing of an industrial crossover track on Park street. The matter has not come of- | ficially before the factory board, but | as soon as agreements are reached be- !tween the engineer and the factory | official, this detail will be cared for. 1 | REFUSE VOTE TO JAPANESE. | San Francisco, July 25.—A Japa- | nese admitted to citizenship by the | federal courts by reason of service in the American army, is not entitled to vote in California, according to a de- | cision by the state supreme court.
