New London Bridge Plan Faces Last Minute Hurdles
The New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad presented a $7,000,000 Thames River bridge project to legislators and the New London Groton committees. A four track span with a 150 foot clear channel would rise 100 feet north of the old bridge, enabling a major building contract this year. The bill lacks prior legislative passage and hinges on a late committee decision amid possible state upkeep of the old crossing.

Only Mack Brick Stood Test as Commission Rejects It
Mack brick led the field in a standard test judged by City Engineer McKenna but failed the financial threshold, so the Paving Commission awarded the contract for South Main Street paving to Silliman & Godfrey with Fairmont brick at $28.50 per thousand. Fairmont brick showed 22.68 percent weight loss, Mack averaged 20.69, while Clearfield brick lost 24.58 and was disqualified. The commission justified the risk, noting the $1.01 per thousand price factor and signatures from local officials on street layout.
