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 $185,000, 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 1836 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 In 1841 this right was rescinded by the legis- lature.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. Thetravel 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 legislature of 1889 voted to pay $84,000 and the towns of Hartford, East Hartford, Glastonbury, Manchester and South Windsor the balance, $126,000 which was paid, making it a free bridge September 11, 1889. May 17, 1890, the Hartford Bridge Co. voted a final dividend of $25 per share; making a total of $845.50 per share paid to its stockholders. The bridge and approaches were taken by the State of Connecti- cut under Public Act CCXXXIX, session of 1898.


The legislature of May 24, 1895, repealed the act of 1898, and in June, 1895, passed an act creating & " Bridge District," comprising the original five towns, viz., Hartford, East Hartford,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.


The old bridge was totally destroyed by fire at 7.15 P. M. on Friday, May 17, 1895.


A temporary bridge on spiling was built by the Berlin Bridge Co. and opened for travel Saturday afternoon, June 8, 1895; the west end was carried away by freshet, Dec. 28, 1895, at 1.10 A. M .; the remaining portion, except a short length on the East Hartford side was swept away by freshet, March 1, 1896, and the steam ferryboats "Schuykill" and "Nellie" for foot passengers, the " F. C. Fowler " and "Cora " for teams, were run for public travel, comfort and convenience be- tween the two towns. A new temporary iron bridge, to cost over $80,000, was commenced by the Berlin Iron Bridge Co., May 4, 1896, and opened for travel June 12, 1896.
