toward carrying out the vote of the

: Anothcrten years passed and South
Norwalk had spread out in all directions.
A foot bridge on the side of the railroad
bridge to East Norwalk had been in use
for some time, new streets had been
opusddntbst side of the river, new
bones were being built, and the demand
for a carriage bridge across the river was
becoming demonstrative.

April 14th, 18.8, at etown meeting
called for the purpose, it was voted that
Samuel Lynea, ll. D.,George S. Bell,
‘Il. E Osborn, D. H. Fitch anddldwin

structed to return the money collected.

Section 0 of the charter for the bridge
reads thus: "Whe'n ever said town shall
have completed said bridge, it may erect
a suitable gate thereon and is hereby eu-
tborissd to demand and receive the fol»
lowing tolls, viz: For each man and
horse, 2 cents; for each vehicle drawn
by one horse, 8 cents; for each vehicle
drawn by t no horses. boosts: for each vs-
hicls drawn by more than two, 8 cents.
provided that no toll shall be collected
on Sunday; and furthermore that no tolls
shall be collected from foot passengers
or on account of any horned cattle or w
hicls drawn by oxen.” .At a town
meeting held subsequently, It was voted
that the bridge should be free, no tolls
being charged on anything.

Now- that the bridge was finished and
open to public travel, the peeple of East
Norwalk were not slow to take adveu'
tags of it. and new streets were laid out
and building lots put in the market,
which has caused an increase of a popula
tion of not more than three hundred to
that of more than three thousand at the
present time.

,1n1882it was found necessary to to-
build the draw, and a town meeting was
called and a committee consisting of the
following persons appointed to examine
the bridge and report what in their judg-
ment ought to be done, viz : William H.
Earl, Ebenezer Hill, L. W. Sandifortb,
Telmadge Baker and R. H. Rowan.
This committee reported at an adjourned
meeting held October 26th, that it would
be advisable to put in a new iron draw at
an expense of about 820,000. The report
was accepted and ordered published in
The Hour. At an adjourned meeting
held November 4th, it was voted to ap
propriate $20,000 and to continue the
committee to build the draw. The draw
was finished in 1883, and, with this ea.
crption, the original bridge has been in
constant use for twenty-seven years, sub-
ject to such repairs as the enormous and
constantly incrlasing traffic made neces-
easy.

The last year igwas found necessary to
make radical repairs to the superstruc-
ture, and also to widen the bridge to the
full width of the right of way owned by
the town. This was done. under the
supervision of the Selectmen, from the
east end to the draw. making a much
needed improvement in the sidewalk and
carriage way, and is greatly appreciated
by the traveling public from all parts of
the town, and more especially by the
people of East Norwalk, the growth of
which place has been largely augment-
ed by the facilities for transportation of.
fared. Its ratio of increase being larger
than any other portion of the town, it is
destined in the future to become an in-
fluential factor in the consummation of
the greater Norwalk.

o‘clock the strains of Prof. Low’s orches-
tra were heard and the grand march
started, being led by Michael F. Powers
and Miss Annie Lennigan, who formed
some intricate and pretty figures upon
the polished floor. There were twenty-
slx numbers upon the programme, and it
was an early hour of the morning before
the merry dancers dispersed. Thomas
Moliullen prompted. The moons of
the affair devolves great credit upon the
committee of arrangements, consisting
of John Moore, Patrick Burns,Jubu (l.

Daniel Brennan, Edmund Powers,
John Callahan, Thomas Heifernan.

There was a large gathering at the

church work. '

Arthur 8. Bill, the clerk, gave a most
interesting and cheering report of the
progress of tbschurcb during the past
year. Thirty nine new numbers have
been received, five have died. and four
have removed to other churches. Twen-
ty-seveo have received the rite of bap-

Eugene L Boyer, the treasurer of the
church and chairman of the benevolent
committee, gave a full and com-
plete report of the [charitable work of
the church.

The report of the superintendent of
the Sunday school, Charles E. Curtis,
was full of encouragement and showed it
was the best year the school had known.
Thirty-ans new pupils have been added
to the school during the year, and twenty
from the school have united with the
church. The benevolence of the school
have been gratifying and were reported
by themesorsr of the Sunday school,

The Hecate lit-poses of the Grade Cross-
ing Brit in Inert Order. ‘
After passing the House by a practi-
cslly unanimous vote, Judge Elmer’s
bill designed to prohibit any steam or
electric. cable or horse railroad com-
pany from crossing each other’s tracks
at grade was shelved in the Senate. That
is to say, that instead of being rushed
through, as in the House, is was referred
to the railroad committee and before a
motiocto reconstdsrcould be made the
Senate adjourned to next Tuesday.

To say that the opponents of the blll
wrrssurpnssd is to state but the fact,
as it had been conceded by them less than
tell mluut. before that it would be
passedaseesily as it went through the
Hearse.

The New Haven Register says:
”lay of those interested in this bill
becoming a law, declare that Senator
(lollies understood that he was to
father the measure when it appeared
in the Senate and that he was to move
for a suspension of the rules and ask
for immediate concurrence in the House
action. Bis absence at the critical mo_
ment was construed by such men as
Senator Ferris, of Norwalk, president
pro tem of the Senate. to mean that
there had been some change in the pro-
gramme screed upon early in the day,
and when the motion was mule to It for
the bill ioSenator Coffee's railroad com-
mittee, Senator Ferris supposed it was
all right. Senator Ferris stated as much
yesterday afternoon in discussing the bill
in the Senate retiring room. He was in
favor of the bill becoming a law and pro-
bably would have moved fora suspension
of the rules that it might become a law
if he had known just what the situation
wu. Still he didn't like to step into the
breach. knowing that Senator Coffee had
been selected to look after the hill in the
Senate." ~ ”w

This canal will be, when completed.

As this cut is to be made through solid
land it will be an immense undertaking.
The great length of arm will be useful in
