Mayor Brown First Speaker. Toastmaster Gale introduced as the first speaker of the evening His Honor Mayor Allyn L. Brown. There was a spontaneous burst of applause when the mayor arese to speak. The may- or’s remarks were in a very optimistic strain, and in epeaking for the city of Norwich he mentioned the great need of a chamber of commerce for every progressive city. He briefly stated that the commerclal organiza- tion is the business community’s me- djum for the expression of its attitude ‘upon practical and public matters. Its main support it so happens comes from those so circumstanced that they are able to contribute largely both of their time and means in the advancement of the many different phases of ler- cial and civic work undertaken by"the organization for the benefit of the eity and county at large. Rev. Charles H. Ricketts was next introduced by the toastmaster, who said he was representative of the pro- fessional men of Norwich. He spoke in his ueual happy way, eaying that it was a pleasure to meet the men of Norwich who did things and who are interested in its civic advancement, and he felt it an honor for any man to have his name listed on the mem. bership roll of the Chamber of Com- merce of Norwich.

TRUNK HIGHWAYS HAVE 191 BRIDGES ner Needs $50,000 to Keep Structures in Good Repair. The report which has been received in the general assembly from Highway Commissioner, C. J. Ben- nett, and prepared by him under a law passed at the 1915 session of the general assembly, says therp are 191 bridges on the trunk line highways of the state. This total includes bridges on trunk line highways ex- cepting those entirely within citles or towns of 10,000 inhabitants, and excepting all bridges buiit or main- tained under the provisions of special acts, but includes the Saybrook-Old Lyme and the East Haddam-Had- dam toll bridge. Bridges built and maintained under special acts, name. ly, the Hartford bridge and the Port land bridge, both over the Connecti- cut river, are not included In the total. A number of trunk line bridges are Tn imperative need of replacing. namely- those located in Branford, Bridgewater, Brooklyn, Canaan-Sal- isbury, Clintén-Madison, _Colchester, Colebrook, Cornwall, Farmington, Litchfield “Harwinton, Seymour, Sher. man, Thomaston, Wilton, and West. broolk. The estimated cost of proportion of the construction these bridges is §100,000. In connection with the construc- tion of bridges on trunk line high- ways, the commissioner is of the opinion that bridges built by the state highway department should be of a permanent character and of concrete or masonry whatever pos- sible. In addition to the bridges needing reconstruction as mentioned above, there will be a certain amount of money necessary for the maintenance of other bridges mnot yet recon- structed. says the report. It is esti- mated that the annual charge for this purpose will be $25,000, mauwing the total appropriations for the next fiscal term $50,000. The request for maintenance funds does not include any money for the maintenance of the Saybrook. Lyme _toll dam-East Haddam toll bridge. The commissioner recommends that these bridges be listed as trunk line bridges and if they are an appropriation of 520,000 should be made for thelr maintenance.
