Senators of the 1915 ed a NewLondon county, to matter of a new bridge over the Nian- tic river joining the towns of Water- ford and East Lyme, a new bri having been ordered by the government, reported at a hefi- £ Hartford Tuesday that the would be perhaps $65,000. Under the present plan the bridge Is maintained by New London county. There was another plan for a bridge farther up the river that would cost $85,000. The commission_did not think the county should be forced to bear. the expense which has been ordered by the gov- ernment. Representative Geary of Waterford, maid the questions were whipther the state should build the bridge, or the two fowns, must be removed by next December. He ‘favored the location of the a few hundred feet to the northward of the location, which would cast. more but be more economical in its wp- keep. This location has been favored by the county commissionegs. This new bridge must be six féet above high water mark, and would entail more or less laud drainage. In the t Tocation there is a tefrific cur- rent that tends to undermine the bridge piers by the churning waters. The service of divers are frequently In the new location all this could be averted and more safety guaranteed the fishermen ana others who used the river. The present bridge is in a precarious con- dition. The bridge Is very much tra eled part of the highway, and a. bridge in the changed location would be a public benefit ;that would be appre- ciated. < Seriator J. H. Barnes stated that the present bridge was to be recomstruct- 7i|ed by ordey of the sovernment, and he was informed that the government orders could be complied with and that the cost would not exceed $65,0%0, He Dbelieved the cost ought to be paid by the state rather than the county. Senator Whitons recited the origin of the bridge, its use as a toll bridge, and then made a free bridge. He re- ferred to the importance of the bridge in connection Wwith the state mobiliza- tion camp at Niantic, and therefore the right to ask for state alj. Sena- tor Whiton explained In detail the changes ordered by the government and submitted plans. The county commissioners plan was for a, new lo- cation for the bridge and the cost would be $30,000. The repairs to- the present bridse could be- done for eon- sSiderably less. For the reason that the state has taken over the toll pridge, and appropriated for a part the cont pense of repairs to the old bridge. M( R. DII';:W, of Niantic, said he ‘went ynder that fl'aw the current there was extremely dan- gerous. The passageway at the pres- ent bridge is surely damgerous, and not safe to navigate. ~ I more piers are placed at the old bridze the dan- ger is in He favored u per- manent bridge on the proposed new location. Former Senator Hewitt said the plan of the committe¢ is to build a new bridge in the same location as the old. Either the county or the state must build the bridge. There is no reason why the county should bear the ex- pense. the main benefits are to the towns of Waterford and East T.yme and the Connecticut state mfitary camp. He favored a commission to build the bridge. State Hishway Commissioner Ben- nett said he did not favor the Ruild- ing of the bridge by the state, as it ‘would mean that other bridges under similar conditions would demand state ownership. The state department therefore would be called upon to take over all bridges. CEMETERY ASS'N.

FAITH AND PURPOSE Subject of Shop Talk Given at Silver Company’s Plant. / Faith and Purpose was the subject which General Secretary Edwin Hill of the Y. M. C. A. spoke on in the ab- sence of of Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D., at the regular noon meeting held at the Internatignal Silver company Tues- day. In this day and time we need to have a strong, verile faith and a defi- nite purpose. First, we need to have a faith in God that will Fet us steady and ealm in the midet of trying circum- stances. Then we need to have faith in our fellow men. For unhappy is the man who has lost faiti i others Some of our fellow men are far down in the moral scale. Down deep in every hu- man heart there is & spark of manhood and it is for us who have been re- deemed by the power of Christ to help to kindle that spark into a flame. We also need to have faith in ourselves. Some r n feel that they are of no use in the world. They have lost their gTip on themselves. The fact is that every man is of use to God. We need others and others need us, and. God needs every man. Oh, that all men everywhere smight link themselves with the great purpose of Jesus Christ. If we have faith in God, faith in our fel- low men and faith Im ourselves, we will maturally have a definite purpose in life which will lead us to be of a real service to the world. Then he closed with.a quotation of these lines: Standing by a purpose true, Heeding God's command; Honor then the faithful few, hail to Daniel’s band. to be a Daniel, Dare to stand alone; Dare to have a purpese firm, and Dare to make it.known. Hugh Kinder rendered two vocal se- lections. TAFTVILLE Phi Kappa Sigma Hold Regular Bus- iness Meeting—Mrs. James A. Mac- Intyre Receives Compensation Notes.
