FRONT STREET BRIDGE

Cost $10,000, and was built in the year 1853; is 44 feet wide, 148 feet long,-of three free stone arches- two of 84 feet span, and one of 35 feet-all semi-circu- lar, and divided or supported by two piers, each six feet wide.

HAMILTON STREET BRIDGE Was erected in 1872, at a cost of $800.

LAUREL STREET (RAILROAD) BRIDGE, Over the railroad tracks at Laurel street crossing, was erected in 1875, at an expense of $17,357.21-of which the city paid $9,215.18-the Railroad Companies the balance.

LAUREL STREET (RIVER) BRIDGE, Over the Park river was built in 1894, at a cost of $28,000, in place of the wooden pile bridge which was constructed by citizens, and finished July, 1872, at a cost of $1,500.

MAIN STREET STONE BRIDGE

Is of a single arch, on rock foundation, and is one hundred feet wide, seven feet in thickness at the base, and three feet two inches at the center - the chord span of it is 104 feet, and it is 80 feet 9 inches from the bed of river to top of arch. Cost $81,526.20. It was planned by the late Bishop Potter, who in 1880 was a professor in Trinity-then called Washington college. The first stone for the foundation of this bridge was laid June 18, 1838, and key-stone of arch inserted Nov. 21st of same year. This bridge was completed in the fall of 1888-less than one year from the time it was begun, by Elias Rathbun, the contractor, whose inde- fatigable labors thereon brought on a paralyzed side, in- cluding arm and leg. The bridges of wood on high trestle work that preceded this one, had rows of stores on either side on Main st. over the river, and was called market bridge. The generally expressed opinion of that day, after over half a century's use of this bridge is as true in 1896 as it was in 1888, on the unanimous town vote of its acceptance, that this bridge "combines strength with elegance of architecture, and is honorable to the town." ' The largest stone arch in this state.

MULBERRY STREET FOOT BRIDGE, Built of wood at the time of laying out of Bushnell Park, and rests on the abutments of the old Railroad bridge which was built about 1889.

NEWFIELD AVENUE BRIDGE Was erected in 1878, at a cost of $780.

PARK STREET BRIDGE, Built in the year 1858, cost $1,977.40.

WOODLAND STREET BRIDGE Was built by the Railroad Co.

CONNECTICUT RIVER BRIDGE.

Built in 1809, was an open bridge, carried away by a freshet March 2, 1818, (as was also the bridge at Spring- field, 26 miles north of this city ) and rebuilt Dec. 1818. It was 1060 feet in length. and cost with the raising of the causeway over East Hartford meadows, in 1859, the sum of $135,000, divided into 600 shares. This was re-built after the Legislature had abolished the ferry between the two towns, that had been running from 1681, first from foot of Kilbourn st. then changed to Ferry street. In 1886 the ferry was re-established, and boat propelled by two horses, one on each side of the boat. In 1841 this right was rescinded by the legis- lature. The next year it was restored. The case then went through all the courts, and was decided that the restoration was in violation of the 1818 contract, by which the bridge was re-built. The travel of the bridge by actual count was over 1,000 vehicles and over 1,600

footmen, daily. The 1887 legislature voted to make this a free bridge. June 11, 1888, Edward W. Sey- mour, Fred. J. Kingsbury and Thomas Sanford, the commission appointed by the 1887 legislature to assess the damages, gave their decision which amounted to $210,000.

The bridge and approaches were taken by the State of Connecti- cut under Public Act CCXXXIX, session of 1893.

The legislature of May 24, 1895, repealed the act of 1893, and in June, 1895, passed an act creating a " Bridge District," comprising the original five towns, viz., Hartford, East Hartford, Glastonbury, Manches- ter and South Windsor, thus placing the rebuilding, care and maintainance of the bridge and causeway on the said five towns. For commissioners, see page 625.

HISTORY OF EXPRESSES.

About 1840 a tri-weekly EXPRESS between this city and New York was commenced, which was sold to

Harnden & Co. in 1842, but not proving remunerative, in a few months they sold out to Daniel Phillips, who carried on this business until he consolidated with other Expresses, July 1st, 1854, as the Adams Express Com- pany. Adolphus Harnden was the pioneer expressman between Boston and New York, and was lost with 150 other pasengers, on the burning steamer Lexington, on Long Island sound, Jan. 1840. Alvin Adams did errands and carried packages from Boston to New York vis Norwich in 1840; and from the numerous post riders, who prior to 1840, used to visit cities, weekly, before the era of daily papers began, and distribute the weekly papers in all directions, as well as carrying light produce . to cities and making purchases for persons on their routes; these post riders were the expressmen of for- mer generations, announcing to customers their ar- rival, by blowing tin horns, instead of steam whistles. Previous to 1845 the redemption of the bills by the Hartford Banks was made weekly at the Suffolk Bank, Boston, by paying expenses of some Hartford business man, who might be going thither, to take on their car- pet bag filled with bank bills and notes, and bring back their bills that had been redeemed by the Suffolk bank.
