M'U:\hr :.lhe dlrect{’on of '.he,Ii rai;ate way department, a new ge, costing probably $135,000, is to be erected during the coming summer over the Shetucket river at Taftville on the river road to Jeweit City. - State Highway Commissioner C. J. Bennett has already .advertised - for bids and is expected to award the contract soon. .The new - bridge will replace -the old one that mow serves for travel in crossing the river on the way from Norwich to Jewett City and will be a big. improvement at this polnt. It will be of reinforced . concrete leonstruction, following- the general type of bridge construction that hes beén adopted by the state highway de- partment and will be without the to 10 04 00 —— WWM&EMTMOENM’ overhead spans in the old type of steel bridge. | Piers’ for the spans have been constructed and the concrete work can proceed as soon as the con- tract has been awarded and the ma- terjal can be secured. It will have a total length of 215 feet, made up of five spans of from 40 to, 45 feet each in iength, with four piers standing in the river. There will be a 23-foot roadway and a foot- way 6 feet wide. The state bears half of the total cost and the other half is divided between the towns of Norwich and Lisbon, with the largest proportion falling up- on Norwich naturally, as this town's grand list is so very much larger than that of Lisbon. OFFERS LAND FOR MILITARY HIGHWAY C;urleu H. Brown Proposes Change at Decatur Mountain at Gales Ferry. P ey Charles H. Brown of this city, who is the owner of Decatur Mountain and the farm adjoining along the River 6| Thames, has offered to give the .land necessary for the “Military Highway” if the authorities will change the pres- ent plan-at'a point just below Allyns Point, and swing around the west side of the mountain, striking the old road again near the Gales Ferry cemetery. This would make the distance a trifle longer and the grading wouid be a little more expensive. However, the great advantage of such. a . change would be that.it would give the finest scenic drive in all Eastern Connecti- cut. Certainly no such view can be found in this locality. The views both up and down the river are wonder- ful. The change would also eliminate two sharp corners now existing on the presert road, and also avoid a bad piece of road above the Latham Smith place. The attention of the engineers has been called to this and they have already been over the route. It would be a very great public Im- provement ad it is pleasing to see such public spirit manifested on the part of . Brown. TIME TO FILL UP WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES Before the Month of May Arrives— Norwich Should Buy More. o to 35 s a of rd The sales of thrift stamps at the Norwich post office in the month of April have reached a good figure. Now as the price of the certificates will be $4.16 for the month of May. it is-time for all those having partially filled cards to fiill them compietely at once for- by paying 15 cents before May 1. ‘With the cards bearing 16 stamps they will receive a war savings certificate which bears interest at 4 per cent. Those who cannot subscribe for Lib- erty bonds have a chance to show ftheir patriotism. and desire to win the war by purchasing thrift stamps reg- ularly and cultivate the habit of thrift and saving. There are probably thou- sands in this city who can afford to lend a small part of their earnings to the government. It is expecied that they will begin to do their part at once. The sales in Norwich up to the present time have not® been 50’ per cent. of what are:expected to have the town fill its quota. DOCTOR APPEALS.

The Kitemang orchards have not suffered so much by the severe cold of the past winter but what there will be some peaches produced there this year, said the owner, F. W. Browning, on Monday. In some sections of the state the re- port has gone out that the buds were entirely killed by the long and con- tinued severe cold, but Mr. Browning said that while this has happened to many of the Kitemaug trees they have not all been affected that way and he expects to get something of a crop. CHILDREN CAUTIONED. New Haven Road Directing Attention to Danger in Trespassing on Tracks., About 600,000 circulars being sent to schools throughout Connecticut, to be distributed among the children read as follows: The Short-Cut Route. In the year 1917, 18 children were kille# and 18 seriously injured through trespassing on tracks of this company. iveryone today is trying to per: form work by the short-cut route !Lh:n. is, obtain; zood or Dbetter re- sults’ by the e way. -That is commendable u by so doing there is danger invoived or (2 taken. We must be .careful in taking the short-cut method to avoid the danger places, ‘Troops of children leave their homes each day to go to school. Thousands take the short-cut route which leads through crowded public thorough- fares or across railroad tracks. Many indulge in bouncing ball, plaving tag or chasing and run into the streets thoughtlessly. Don't do it. In eity districts children have been seen picking up coal dropped from trains, playing on empty freizht cars, hopping on trains for a ride and crossing railroad bridges. This is for- bidden by law. Tlvery year many lives are lost in this manner. There- fore, stop, look and listen before crossing streets or railroad traks, Think of fathers and mothers, who at great expense and sacrifice have taken care of your young lives, and don't cause them needless worry. Re- member safety first and short-cuts afterwards. F. W. MITCHELL, Supervisor of Safety, N. Y., N. H. & Hartford Railroad. HEREDITARY LAWS. Basis of Unusual Suit Dealing With Ownership of South Coventry Hotel. tried in the Tolland County superior court was begun in the court before Judge Joel H. Reed last week, the first case of this kind to be tried in the county courts and in the opinfon of many lawyers, the first to be tried in the state in a number of years. The suit is brought to determine the ownership of the Bidwell hotel proper- ty in South Coventry. The claimant is Addie I. Ames, executrix of the es- tate of Lydia Joslin of Coventry and Providence. The plaintiff claims to own the property by purchase from Sarah Bidwell. in 1881, mother of Charles P. Bidwell of Coventry, the first husband of Mrs. Joslin who own- ed the property, and at death left no children, no brothers or-sisters but a wifc, a mother, Sa- rah, and two paternal aunts Jane Fith, granmother of C. Amelia Winchester. ’rhe defendants are C. N. Fitch of Rockville and E. C. ‘Winchester of New London, conserva- tor for Mary Clark of Windham, the daughter of Amelia Clark Win- chester. C. N. Fitch claims one-half interest from his grandmother and Mary Clark claims one-half interest from mother. The base for the Joslin claim is that 3¢ bought her mether’s claim to the property. The probalg court of Coventry gave her the life use of the property and it is her claim that she nrow owns the property by purchase. The defendants claim that on the death of Charles Bidwell his mother did not have any claim to the property but that it went to his two aunts, Fitch and When Fires Are Permissible.

It is based on the tragic story of the meeting of two lovers, Oguri and Haru, forbidden by parents to wed, at the summer festival called the “festival of the dead.” Miss Tor- rance also appeared in a suite of des- ert love songs, words by Marguerite Hall and music by Robert Clarke, and with Miss Harper, in the flower duet from Madam Butterfly.
