The cross or so-called needle beams are seven in number and each is 35 feet long and weights 3 1-2 tons. They are placed in position by means of block and falls suspended from the overhead work. The overhead work was found to be in such excelient con ditlon that it was not necessary to replace it, painting being the only treatment needed. The most formidable part of the Splicing End Posts—Open in About 10 Days. contract was that on which the bridge bullders are now engaged, that of splicing the two posts on the east end of the bridge. The entire corner of the bridge had to be jacked up, the present Steel post sawn through and a new section put in to take the place of the old rusted section. The work on one post is about half completed, and the other one will be fixed just as soon as this is done. When the second post is belng spliced the jacks will be holding up a weight of about sixty tons. e second splicing job will’ take about a week. A number of the smaller posts along the sides of the bridge have also been spliced to remove sections which have rusted badly. On the other end of the bridge the posts were spliced several years ago, and they did not need to be touched now. The rusting of the iron work so extensively Is belleved to be due in large measure to the fact that the trolley company in winter uses salt on the hill just beyond the bridge to re- move ice from the ralls. This dis- solves in the water which flows down the street, and, unchecked by a_catch basin, used to run on to the bridge and penetrate through the flooring to the supporting iron work. Some of the heavy beams have been eaten through in places. Gutters will now be placed along each side of the bridge so that no water contalning salt can get to the steel, but instead will bs emptied into the river. Corrugated steel buckle plates rest- ing on the beams will support the con- crote that will be poured as soon as the steel workers are through, and there will be two Inches of asphalt as the finishing layer. The old fance will be replaced along the sides, and paint- ed in an attractive shade of dark green the bridge will look like a new struc- ture. NO REDISTRICTING Governor Baldwin Will Not Call Spe- cial Session of Legislature. Despite the fact that there is a de- cided inequality in the population of state, and that the thirty-first article of the state constitution gives the pres- ent general assembly the right to make any changes it seems it in the boundaries of the district, but pro- vides that in case such assembly does not redistrict the state, the redistrict- ing shall go over until the next ses- sion of the general assembly; follow- ing the next government census—in other words, 1921—Governor Simeon E. Baldwin Tuesday definitely an- nounced that he would not call a spe- cial session of the general assembly for the purpose of redistricting the senatorial districts of the state. Gov- ernor Baldwin, in his interview, said: “I have considered the question of calling an extra session and have com- municated with several persons, from whom I thought I could obtain trust- worthy information as to whether, if a special session were called, it was probable that the senatorfal districts would be changed. I have concluded that it is not probable that the present legislature would if called together, make such changes in the direction of equalization of districts as the constl- tution calls for. I do not wish to put the state to the expense of a special session, when it appears to be prob- able that the republican leaders in both houses would not be inclined to revise the makeup of the senatorial districts as now constituted. As at present advised, therefore, 1 do not contemplate the calling of an extra session. The districts ought to be re- formed and they easily can be, but I fear it would be in vain to expect a proper revision, such as the constitu- tion contemplates. from the present legislature. The article of the constitution which gives the right to the present legis- lature to redistrict the state, was adopted in October, 1901, and is a= follow Article XXXI, Section 1. From and after the Wednesday after the first Monday of January, 1905, the senate shall be composed of not less than 24, and not more than 36 members, | who shall be elected at the electors’ | meetings held biennially on the Tues day after the first Monday In Novem- ber. Section 2. The general assembly which shall be held on the Wednesda, after the first Monday of Januar: 1903, shall divide the state into sen- atorial districts, as hereinafter pro- vided; the number of such districts shall not be less than 24 nor more than 36, and each district shall elect only one senator. The districts shall always be composed of contiguous ter- ritory, and in forming them regard shall be had to population in the sev- eral districts, that the same may be as nearly equal as possible under the limitations of this amendment. Neith- er the whole or a part of one counmty shall be joined to the whole or a part of another county to form a district. and no town shall be divided, unless for the purpose of forming more than one district wholly within such town, and each county shall have at least | one senator. The districts, when e: blished as hereinafter provided, shall continue the same until the ses- sion of the general assembly next after the completion of the next census of the United States, which general as- sembly shall have power to alter tha same, it found necessary to preserve a proper equality of population in each district, but only in accordance with the principles above recited; after which said districts shall not he al- tered. nor the number of senators al- tered. except at a mession of the gen- eral assembly next after the comple- tion of a census of the United and then only in accordance principles hereinbefore pro State Hospital Bills Approved.

But it is Canadian Currency and Trol- ley Company Doesn’t Want It. 200 and 1,- Canadians visiting the shore appre- ciate the effort of New London Busi- ness Men's association, which has had the result of banking and business houses accepting Canadian money at face value, but deplore the fact that the street railway will nof. Several of the Canadian’ visitors have been embarrassed by offering money to trolley conductors and having them de cline 'to accept the coin of the visi- tors. There have been numerous in- stances in which the visitors, uncon- | scious of the fact that the street rail- way had not taken the same attitude as the banks and stores; have not haa American money to offer for their fare. Street raflway officials said today that the rule against Canadian money was adopted at the time the New London_ Street raiflway operated local lines. 1t had not been rescinded by the Connecticut company, but the matter had been taken up with the officials, who have it under considera- tion. The conductors are obliged Lo refuse Canadian money. Former New Londoner 93, Alexander W, Skinner, a former res- tdent of New London, now living in Oak Lawn, R.
