Hartford, March 28 —Speaker Healey and his staff of members of the lower house of the general assembly, com- menced work an hour earlier than usual, on Wednesday, and kept at it : steadily until one o'clock, resuming again an hour later. The calenda~* was attacked with vigor and resuitant success, which means constructive legislation. A feature of the morning session was the discussion of the fa- vorable report of the committee on roads, rivers and bridges, which would put the cost of maintaining the bridge over Salmon river, connecting _the town of East .Colchester and East Hampton. upon the counties of New London ang Middlesex. The bill was rejected, but through courtesy the re- vort was accepted. Excise Matter.

The act was taken from the calen- dar, which concerns_the maintenance of the bridge over Salmon river be- tween the towns of East Hampton and Colchester, and which was reported favorably Dy the committee on roads ana bridges. Mr. Waltt, the house chairman, explained the several hear- | ings given the matter, and the travel of action. which showed that both counties ~were opposed to the bill, | jand that its maintenance should re- main between the towns of East Hampton and Colchester. Mr. Hezen, of Hampton. favored the bill and did not think it fair to saddle the expense on the counties of New London and Middlesex. If the state wanted the condition changed, _the state ought to pay the cost. This bridge was not on the main highway and was o benefit to the two con- necting towns and the counties as a whole. The bill reads: The countles of Mid- dlesex and New Lordon shall main- tain, control and operate the bridme over Salmon river between the towns of East Hampton and Colchester. The expense of maintaining, operating and repairing said bridge. including the abutments and avproachments, shall be paid In equal portions by each of said_ccunties upon orders drawn by the board uf county commissioners of | said counties upon their respective | treasurers. H Mr. Russell, of Middlesex, spoke in opposition to the rejection of the bill As it estohlished » bad precedent. The Salmon River bridge is hmt very little nsed excep' br the residents of the twn cornecting towns. i Mr. Gates, of Old Savhrook, also snoks in favor of the bill, and said the Salmon River hridge was a pure- I¥ local brifiee, and expense to Mid- dlesex nnd New Haven counties. Mr. Powers. of Manchester. asked who duilt the road. Mr. Hazen re- plied tha* tha hridee was formerly a o7t of the old turnpike Mr. Corbeit, of Hartford. represent- Ing the mentlemen from Kast Hampton, | spoke in opposition of the bill. The bridge was of little ‘or no use to the town of Fast Hampton. Mr. Gearv, of Waterford, that the question be divided. Ar. Eleart, of Colchester. spoke eainst the hill, and stated that early in the eame he had the support of the inrme majority of the members from w Tondon countv, but some how or other there has been a change, Con- trarv to remarks made. Mr. Elzart said the bridge was auite generally | sed. B Tomes o Meneihier Saoet oa ) to the Jength of the bridge and its condition. He was told it was 126 fect long and was in good condition for the next five vears. It was not on a state highway and would not be taken over by the state. Mr. Curry, of Lebanon, sald that the county of New Tondon first favered the proposition, that the towns bear the exnense, but subsequently chang- ed_nosition. Mr. Rose, of Essex. opposed the bill moved and |2nd did not helieve the county should pay for a bridze between the two towns in question any move than be- tween New Haven and Middlesex. Mr. Southworth, of Savbrook. snoke in opposition, and so did Mr. Hall of New Milford, and thev did not think the state shou'd pav for bridges of this rlass. Mr. Coe, of Cromwell favored the bil. Mr. Bahcock, of Stonington, spoke In favor of the bill, by reason of the danger of precedent. Mr. Cowles, of Farmington, said many did not know where the bridee was located. The towns or counties did not want to pay for it. and who the deucs did. He favored the bill Mr. Wilcox, of Stonington, also spoke against the bill, while Mr. Hender- son favored the bill and was very much against saddling this bridge ex- pense. Mr. Dunham, of East Hampton, fa- vored the passage of the bill, and said that bridge was considerably used by the public and there was no_good reason why those two towns should maintain this bridge highway. Mr. Dunham, by the wa: is the dean of the house having served in the ses- sion of 1877, and famous dead lock ses- sion of 1901, M#. Geary’s motion that the question be divided prevailed, and the report of the committee accepted. He then moved that the bill be rejected. Mr. Geary sald that only four votes fa- vored the proposition in joint ses- sion and required no detective to as- certain these votes as Colchester and East Hampton has two representa- tives each. Hé said it was an ele- ment of modernism to make the other fellow pay the freight, and the bridge is located so that it could not be found without the aid of a guide and compass, Mr. Hazen moved tle previops ques- tion, which prevailed. ‘The conclud- Ing remarks were made by Mr. Waitt, of the committee.
