Alert Hose mpany’'s Nickel Carni- val, Town Hal NORTH WiNDHAM BRIDGE. Sclectman Mitchell Receives Rssults of Bridge Expert’s Examination. Selectman R. E. Mitcheil received Friday forenoon a communication from M. A. Conner, contracting engineer of the Berlin Construction company, stat- ing the findings of the bridge expert’s examination of the condition of the North Windham bridge over the Nat- chaug river, The engineer wrote 2 follows: The bridge is approximately 12 feet wide and has a clear span of 113 feet 6 inches. It is an old style King pat- ented bridge of the bow spring type, about 12 feet high and was erected about 30 or 35 years ago. The floor is made of two thick- nesses of 3 inch plank spiked to 3x10 inch joists, spaced 2 feet apart which rest on the bottom chord of the truss. In all probability the bridge was designed to carry about a 6-ton or at most 8-ton concentrated load in addi- tion to its own dead weight. The absence of sufficient bracing indicates that such loading did not include the factor of impact due to a fast-moving vehicle. At present there is a - ceptible swaying of the whole struc- ture when a light buggy crosses it. The increased weight of modern vehi- cles, such as heavy auto trucks and road rollers makes it necessary that the bridge should be capable of carry- ing a concentrated load of at least 15 tons in addition to its own weight. Moreover the structure must be properly braced to e care of the impact of such heavy moving loads crossing the bridge at a rapid rate. The floor of the present bridge is COMI%O'IO US Hardware your We're ready to meet every Spring time need in the line of Farm is ad- work Implements, ote.

Whereas the plank makes a satisfactory fioor for lght traffic when kept in good ‘repair and renewed frequently on this particu- lar highway, which is the main road to Boston, plank would be out of the question and a more substantial floor is necessary, such as macadam, .a: phalt, or wooq, block surface on a con- crete floor. Such_a-. floor would not only make a moré satisfactory wear- ing surface, but would last much long- er and would' need littdle or no r pairing. : The present width of the bridge fs inadequate to take care of the vol- ume of trafic which now passes over it. This will never decrease and the chances are that it will double with the improvements by the state. More- over, if the state ever takes over the bridges they will be apt to insist on a bridge at least 18 feet to 24 feet wide. To guide you in making an appro- pristion we have made an estimate on a suitable bridge for this site un- der the following specification: Span, 113 feet, width 24 feet, floor concrete, surface, macadam. ¥ For the entire structure not includ- { ing the abutments we figure that it should not cost over fifty-eight hun- dred dollars ($5,800): Of course, we do not make this as a definite bid, the figures being only approximate. 1f the town sees fit to build the bridge, we will' be glad to go into the matter in detail andg make a closer estimate. In the meanwhile, we place at your disposal the ser vices of our engineering and bridze departments and will be glad to have our representative consult with you in regard to this work at your con- venience, FUNERAL.

RUNNING FULL TIME. } Killingly Woolen Milis Not Affected by Tariff Talk—Central Village Plant on Four-Day Schedule. The operatives in the big plant of | the Plainfleld Woolen company at| Central Village were put on a schedule of four days a week beginnitg Friday morning. At the mill office Friday afternoon it was said that the curtail- ment was due to the uncertainty cre ated in the woolen manufacturing bus- iness by the impending tariff changes: | that cancellation of orders received some time since are coming in in num- bers, and that running short time was necessary to keep the mill from sus. taining losses. ! Hope was expressed by a represent- | ative of the company that the tariff scheduls on wool will be quickly set- | tled. When the schedule is readjust- ed, he said, conditions mjght be better, and then, again, they might be wors: This is impossible to forecast at this, time. A few weeks ago the Plainfield Woolen eompany bezan operating its plant five days a week, closing Friday nights. Under the new arrangement the mill will close Thursday night for the week, About 300 operatives are employed, manufacturing woolen and worsted geods for men’s wear, i In the town of Killingly the woolen ills comtinue to run fuil time. At Dayville the Assawauge company’s plant is doing business as usual, and the same is true of the two miils at Eimville and the one at East Killing- 1y.

Railroad detectives and the local police worked here Friday on the problem of finding the men who broke into three places 4n Oxford Thur: night, later stole a hamdcar from th railroad company building in which was kept, puf it on the rails and headed for Putnam. The special mystery of the case, ac cording to the railroad detectiv find the handdéar, which has disappear ed. One theory is that it was dumped into a river at some convenient point At any rate, it rannot be found: neither can it be determined just how far toward Putnam the men who stole the handcar traveled on the trip, but o it is believed that they did not pass Webster. Information of the railroad officers working on the case is to effect that the hapdcar and its reck less crew followed a freight out of Oxford at about 2.30 a. m. Friday. The three places burglarized in Ox- ford were a barber a dozen razors wers store, where camer shop, where stolen; a fountain ed, and the raflroad freight In’ the last named place about money was taken. 37 Oxford officials sent out an early morning call to police in Putnam and other Connecticut towns o he orwich branch to be on the looko for the crooks, but nothing about t could be learned during the day.
