Two Bridge Bonding Bill Faces Voters on Bridge Plan
The Two Bridge bonding bill seeks voter approval to issue bonds for a Stratford State Street bridge project and a second bridge, amid political maneuvering by the Goublie machine and opponents. Backers argue the scheme consolidates requests while opponents warn of unnecessary debt and speculative motives. The measure would authorize bonds totaling about one and a half million for two bridges, with separate reconsideration for the Stratford plan.

Cheshire Reformatory to Open Soon
Cheshire Reformatory board will meet this evening to decide when the State Reformatory for Boys will open. Warden Garvin predicts it will admit prisoners within two weeks, and Judge Joel H. Reed has sentenced three boys to the reformatory based on that assurance. The plan allows transfers from State prison for ages 16 to 25 once the reformatory is completed. Legal questions about sentencing before completion are addressed by Garvin, who deems it legal as confinement precedes transfer. Nearby, State's Attorney Alling had urged opening the reformatory after it starts, while an interim case sent a sixteen year old to jail. Neighbors report discord, with sharp quarrels at home.
