MAY WIDEN EAST AVENUE RAIL BRIDGE An effort will be made to have the East avenue railroad bridge widened to the full width of street while new pavement is being laid. Mayor Thomas ltobins last night told the Common Council that plans for this work had been drawn up. He said at first it was planned to move the sidewalk in and tunnel through the embankment there for a new sidewalk. but that it was now thought best to widen the entire bridge to the full width of the road. At the present time the bridge is much narrower than the rest of the roadway. HAVE A SON. A son was born to Dr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Sloman of West avenue at the Norwalk Hospital last night.

Boat Was in Harbor, Let- ter States BULKHEAD B r id g e Commission May Have to Explain Filling in of Pro- posed Park Site The Federal Government'wants to know why the Washington street drawbridgo was not in working or- der on August 3. Mayor Thomas Robins received a letter from Major R. G. Powell to this effect yesterday. In his letter Major Powell states that the Federal inspection boat pulled into the local harbor on the above date at about three o'clock in the afternoon and gave the signal for the bridge to open, but that the tender was unable to move it. After waiting for sometime. the boat turned aiound and returned to New York. He requests that an investigation he made and that a report be for. Warden to him at-gonce. The Bridge Committee may have to build a. suitable bulkhead around the fill that was pumped into the proposed Seaview avenue park re- cently. A letter has been received by Mayor Thomas Robins from Major R. G. Powell of the Englueers‘ Corp of the United States Army. stating that he understobd that the city planned to pump mud into the park and that a permit would have to be applied for to construct ii bulkhead. Major Powers evidently does not know that the work has been coni- pletcd and that a permit has not been applied for. No doubt the Bridge Commission will be requested to explain why it went ahead with the work, without bringing the matter before the fed- eral Government, which controls harbors. The letter was turned over to the Bridge Commission by Mayor Rob- ins.

The Mayor was instructed to call a special meeting of the Board of Esti- mate and Taxation for this purpose. ENJOY AUTO TRIP. Judge and Mrs. George H. V‘os- burgh and his sister. Mrs. K. G.
