Hoyt, has been completely tied up pending an oversight of somebody. Operations were stopped yesterday by Government Engineer Berrell, from New Haven. who is a deputy under Colonel Charles F‘. Powell. chief gov- ernment engineer in charge of harbors in this district. The trouble arises from several dif- ferent causes. but the action of Dep- uty Berrell in thus summarily stop- ping the work is due to the fact that no permission has been secured from the secretary of war to build the bridge. The selectmen were not aware, it is stated. that such permise aion was necessary, and nothing was done'along those lines.» They have been informed that under the law of 1889, it is quite a serious offence to build a bridge without first getting the permission referred to. The visit of the deputy engineer was only a portion of the selectmen's troubles in connection with the bridge, yesterday, thodgh it proved the straw that clogged all of the machinery. TWO threatened suits add to the complica- tions of the town fathers. Thomas R. Browne, a resident of Brooklyn, is the owner of property adjoining the bridge, and has made complaint to the selectmen, claiming that Contractor Hoyt ie encroaching upon his land and that as a result of the present work the water will over- flow part of his property. Another suit, it is stated, is threat- ened by Jacob B. Raymond. Mr. Ray- mond claims that by changing the grade of Sammie street, his property will be dams ed. Hts also claims that his propert: g , in .encr ed upon. Both of thogoslefitke“ on m? chanvcs in the plans, so t a ' they will slicer no damage as a result of the building of the bridge. A consultation between the select- men, Engineer Bsffhll. Engineer Wood. Contractor Hoyt and the pro- prietor of the mud digger, which has been at work for sums time, was held yesterday afternoon at the Norwalk office of the selectman. Mr. lloyt has not yet started the work on the bridge proper. All efforts thus far have been , prepare for the enection of the tbrl go. This work includes the construction of "a tem- porary dam. Another complaint has been made that mud Is heihg deposit- ed on the old bridge. making it do— cidedly unpleasant for people to wade across it. Serious 'objection is raised to the fact that the plans provide for a main sluiceway under the‘htltlgs thirty feet wide. it is claimed in some quar— ters that. this will not be wide enough and as a result will divert the cur- rent of water, Selectman Avlson, 'l‘own (‘ounscl Levi Warner and Engineer Wood went to New London this morning for an interview with Colonel Powell. with amides to attempt straightening out the tangle as much as possible. .

' Mrs. Havlland presented a varied program. and held the closest atten- tion of the audience by her masterly interpretation of the various composi- tions. Every song from “Con Mio Ben," with its beautifully sustained tones. to the lighter number, "They Say," was finely rendered, and showed the range and power of her highly cul- tured voice and her artistic percep— 'tions. Mrs. Haviland kindly respond» ed to an encore to "Absence" and "(film-manic Marguerite." The flower tributcs were numerous and very beau- tiful. The local composers' songs showed great merit, and were enthu- siastically received. Too much cannot. be said for the work of Mr. bucksione at the plane. it was simply perfect. and added great— ly id the pleasure of the evening. The two numbers in which Miss Littlejohn assisted with the violin were among the best and this popular artist never played better, it was an evening of rare pleasure.

South Norwalk , In the Future The Southern New England Tele— phone Company, which. unlike most. public service corporations, is usually willing to grant any reasonable re- quester its subscribers for improve- ments and which evidently believes in putting into operation all the modern appliances for the use of its subscrib- ers, is to install the most modern and up-to-date system in the South Nor- walk exchange, known as the “common battery system.” This means to the uninitiated in telephone phraseology that in order to call "Celntral" it will no longer be no. ccssary to turn a crank as if one was using an old fashioned chain pump. "Just remove the receiver from the hook and listen" will be all that will be necessary to call Central. This action on the part of the com- pany is taken in response to a pett- tlon signed by a large number of local subscribers of the company, addressed to the management some weeks ago. The matter was investigated and it was decided to make the change. The change from the present system to the ”common battery system" will ne~ cessltate a complete reconstruction of the central exchange and the installa- tion of a new switchboard, as well as many changes in the outside construc. tion work. The present switchboard was in- stalled about a year ago, and was changed at a very heavy expense, and all this work will have to be done over again. The change will not take place im- mediately, however, as it will take some months to prepare the office and the lines for it before it can be put in operation without crippling the service.
