Although at the office of the adju- tant general in Hartford it was stated that as yet no additional militia com- panies have been ordered out for guara duty it is expected by many that before a great while more men will be detailed to guard duty on New Haven roed bridges. The large bridges along the Connecticut shore are provided with guards while theve are many small ones without any pro- tection whatever. An official of the New Haven road stated that the rail- road company has asked that all bridges be guarded and the request and the list of bridges have been sent to_Major General Wood. If aditional guardsmen are . or- derea out it will mean that practical- ly every bridge in New England be- longing t othe New Haven road sys- tem will be protected against vio- lence. This does not mean small bridges that are not vital to the sys- tem connecting New England with Ad company of Stamtord, now doing duty along the Connect: cut coast, will welcome mqre men, be- cause it will mean that each squad will be augmented. As it is now the men are forced to sleep when not on duty because out of every ix hours each one does two hours’ duty.
