The bridge connects the mainland with the short road leading across the south- erly side of the island to the larger bridge at the westerly end of the is- land and thence to Asylum street. The present bridge has done duty for a number of years and has outlived its usefulness. ~The wooden planking has had to be repaired from time to time. The other bridge is the newer and larger of the two and is in good con- dition at the present time. The new bridge’ will not only greatly improve the appearance of the locality but will insure safe passage across the river. The construction work will necessarily close the way to public travel for a short timé& and Selectman Bailey said that notice of the closing will be an- nounced in due time so as to incon- venience travel as little as possible. MAY BAR SEWAGE FROM THE SOUND Federal Government. is Investigating * Pollution of Waters. Will the federal government order Connecticut, county by county, along the Sound shore, to stop emptying sewage into the Sound? This question is being asked by powers-that-be in many parts of the state. That the government may issue such an order is very much within the range of pos- sibilities. Just now the government is _busy cleaning up the Hudson river, West- chester county is the latest to get hit, the war department ordering the county to built a nltration plant im- mediately. It was only Monday that Deputy United States Marshal James S. Meng of Manhattan served a notice from ecretary of War Newton D. Baker on Chairman Charles D. Mil- ¢ land and members of the Westchester county board of supervisors and Man- ager John J. Brown of the Bronx Valley trunk sewer commission, to the effect that the United States gov- crnment would bring suit to force the removal of the sewage pipes in the Hudson river at Yonkers unless the county built a filtration plant, The secretary of war set forth that in 1912, when the goveynment brought suit against the Bronx Val- ley sewer commissioners, the action was dismissed upon the gning of a stipulation that the commission would purify the sewage before it reacned the Hudson river. 2 For m weeks fedéral emplo physicians and chemists of -the public health service have been making a studv. of the Sound’s waters. The force expects to spend perhaps, an- other year here, and it may spend two vears. At any time another force is expected here to study the upland waters, sych as the Thames, Connecti- cvt and Housatonie. These surveys of coastal waters have to do almost entirely with th extent to which the filth of the town effects shellfish-in-the waters close to shore. The job is being done thor- | oushly. Samples of water are taken to laboratories put at the health ser- vice’s disposal by Yale university, and there are analyzed very thoroughly. Sheilfish are taken from the sewage infected waters and the polution ef- fect is studied on both cooked and raw shellfish All this information 1s belng tabu- lated and recorded and in_time will get into the hands of an absolute au- thority. Then, it is likely, some def- inite order may result, perhaps similar to that affecting the Hudson river just handed to Westchester county. This_federal survey started in the Gulf of Mexico and has been working up the coast. The whole north shore of the Sound will be studied form now on. A party has already started simi- lar work in Rhode Island waters and presently will work Narragansett bay. A meeting is to be held at New ven on Friday of this week of public health service doctors, representatives of the oyster growers of this state and | of the state shellfish commission, and of the state board of health. I{ had been gxpected that ths meeting would result in some recommendation as to the use of skellfish taken from New Haven harbor. But that issue is to be side-stepped temporarily, it Is under- stood, and in its stead recommenda- tions will be made as to the oyster shucking houses along the harbor. These may be made to apply .to all shucking houses in the state. The ef- fect on Connecticut's great oyster in- dustry may not be severe, inamuch as the oyster men themselves are al- ready giving the question a great deal of study and have been at all times in touch with state and federal of- ficials. Eut it is said to be apparent that the sewage question cannot be dodged for a great while longer. New Haven al- ready has a commission at worlk on its share in the great problem of clean- ing up Long Island sound. The rec- ommendation_has been made already that a basin be dredged at each of the five big sewer outlets on the water- front. These, it is expected, will cause the sewage to enter the water at a great depth an force its dissolu- tion before it reaches the shellfish. This plan has many opportunities. There are those who claim that the | sewage will rise to the surface and float away_the same.as it always has done. OtNifrs say it will move under water, though at a great depth, ana so mingle more thoroughly than ever with the oysters in their beds. District Attorney Brings His Case to September Term of U. S. Court. United States District Attorney | Thomas J. Spellacy has brought a number of cases the September term of the federal c\urt which opens in New Haven Tuesday, Sept. 26, with Judge Edwin S.

MILEAGE PLAN SAID TO BE APPROVED. Will Undoubtedly Become a Law in This State After November 7. Although there are still five towns to cast their votes on the pro- posed amendment to the constitution regarding the payment of mi penses to legislators durin, of the general assembly the ment will undoubtedly become a law in amend- | Connecticut after November 7. About | 8,000 votes are needed to defeat the| amendment ang it is the consensus of every official in the capitol building who has followed the votes already iaken that the towns to take action on the matter in October and November cannot change the present result ma- | terially. According to the records in | the office of the secretary of the state | there ,are 19,691 voters in favor of the amendment and 11,881 against it.| Middlefield and Southington will vote | on the matter on October 2 and Anso- nia, Derby and Stamford will vote on it on November 7. At the present time the members of the general assembly are allowed one round trip mileage of mile, which means that they are for their jouney to the capitol when | the session opens and for the return trip when the legislature comes to an end. The proposed constgutional jamendment provides that mileage be Ipaid to legislators during the entire |session. Through this change they will be given transportation for every trip they make involving business ot the legislature in addition to the com- pensation of $300 which they receive at present. The proposed amendment to the constitution follows: “That portion of section three of article twenty-seven of the amend- ments to the constitution which re- lates to mileage of members of the general assembly #s hereby amended to read as follows: ‘and in addition to such compensation, the general as- sembly may provide by law for the transportation of each member by public conveyance by the most con- venient route between his home sta- tion and the place of meeting during provided with mileage tickets from n became wid- the office of the comptroller, but this n of the death was abandoned.
