A stome crusher which ‘| was constructed on the side of La- menuuon Mountain last fall is busily engaged 'day in'and day.out preparing the supply of stone that will be .used in the cou-trufiflell fork, When. the time comes for on the actual work all these, prell prepara- tions will mean that the work will go forward with unusual lpud and dis- patch, It is said that when the road |is started that there are several places where it will be straightened but the one bad spot which is expected to be eliminated is the curve at Durkee's corner. This curve is one of the most dangerous in' the highway between Hartford and New Haven and only due caution on the part of car drivers has prevented a bad accident at the spot. The road comes down & steep . e and thien takes an glmost right angle turn to the south, which in>itself is a bad feature, but to make matters worse therei is a large house built close to the road which shields the view of ‘the highwhy from either directidn,. Just above the aforemen- tioned hill there is a fork in the road, one branch going directly south and joining the main highway again about hulf & mile below, while tha other branch is.the main turnpike which inclvdes the dangerous turn. Accord- ing to the present plun the road will go directly south on this brapch, thus dolu away with the curve and also tting off the round about way. This plan was proposed when the present semi-permanent paving was put in but the obkcthr of the prop- erty holders was too great and the road was carried over the roundabout way. way through that section there is very little danger of those owning property putting in’ another protest and it is that all plans will go through without a hitch.

Plalnvlne News MORE SIDEWALKS IS COMMITTEE'S PLEA, Property Owtiers Will Be Invited to Make Improvement Soon RECRUITING OFFICERS NAMED Gwillim, Hills and Prior to Assemble Men for Home Guard—Iawn Club's Annual-—Firemeén's Fair to Begin April 18—Other Matters. Hoping to ,materially increase the permanent silewalk mileage ' during the year, the sidewalk committes of tlgg ‘Business and Improvement asso- ciation 18 making arrangements to send out letters to property owners ir certain sections of the town .ap- pealing to them to do their share towards. ‘the Impro‘vommt and offer- ing suggestions as to how the work can be doné in the cheapest manner. The communication will be mailed in the mear future and it is expected that they will result in an extensive increase in cement walks throughout the towsl. For & number of years the assocld- uon has been working energetically to -get property owners to lay side- walks in front of their homes and it 18 largely through the efforts of it; committees that the improvement has been made on diffgrent This year the workers secured measurements of property frontage and also obtained estimates from con= tractors as to the expenss of having the places improved by cement walks. In the letters, which are to be sent out, figures as to the cost of the work in each case will be included. By authorizing the selectmen to pay twenty-five per cent. of the ‘ex- pense of ‘sidewalk improvements out of the town funds, the voters gave im- petus to the efforts of the business men’s organization and it'is expectsd that during the summer a number of property owners will take ad of the opportunity to lay walks tront of their homes with town On some of the in the ern section a continuous stretch of eement sidewalk is broken by bare . spots In tront of but a few dwellings and the business men’s committee will n:ake a dp€cial effort to pursuadd the owners to have the improvement made this summer. . While the ex- pense of laying sidewalks . will be higher this vear than because of the scarcity of- labor and the . in- creased cost of' mmaterials, property owners will have less money to spend, the town’s contribution of twenty-five rer cent. reducing the individual land owner’s bill to a nominal amount. is estimated that contractors 1 charge in the neighborhood of - 16c per foot for new sidewalks this year. During the spring it is the inten- tion of the committee to concentrate its efforts on Church, Canal and West Main streets and it is hoped that by next fall not a singe gravel sidewalk will be found on any of these thor- oughfares. An effort will be made to get the Bristol Manufacturing com- pany to have a sidewalk laid on West Main street in front of their property, and a favorable response to the com- mittee’s suggestion is expected from the directors of the concern. Encour- aging statements have been made by other property owners and the work ot sidewalk laying will probably be done on & more extensive scale than ueual during thé warm wesather. The efforts of the Business Men's asgociation, which is working solely for the interests of the town and its ir.habitants, to improve the st are deserving of the support of citi- gens in general. Taxpayers are som times averse to recelving suggestions as to improvements, the expense of which they have to bear, and conse- quently the work of the sidewalk com- mittee is made exceedingly difficult. The members, however, are hopeful | that their appeals will be received in and tear on the other forms of pave- | ment have shown the state Toad bulld- ers that the only thing to put down thal wilk last for any lel!l"h of time is concrete.
