The state highway department decided to lower the street about two feet and since work has been started, it has been found that portions of the water main are entirely exposed. The committee in charge of the work, R. H. Erwin, chairman, E. Welles Eddy, and H. C. Goodale, at- tempted to bring about a compro- mise by having the road lowered only one foot. This would not neces- sitate the lowering of the pipe line. The state officlals, however, would not agree to this. On the advice of Engineer SBaville of the Hartford water department the committee decided that the best thing would be to start work im- mediately on the lowering of the main. About 500 feet of the pipe will have to be changed. The work which has necessitated this action on the part of the offi- cials of the Center Fire District, s the re-construction of the northern end of Newington avenue by the state highway department. This section of the highway has been in poor condition for several years, due mainly to the frequent passing of a number of large trucks. The work which is now well under way in- cludes the elimination of two cor- ners, the lowering of the street in one part and the raising of it at an- The state highway department has notified First Selectamn James . Gilbert that §20,000 of a total of $2,000,000 appropriated by the last legislature for state aid roads, has been assigned to Newington. It will, however, be necessary for the town to appropriate at least $5,000, for the same purpose in order to re- celve the appropriation. Should the town appropriate a smaller amount, the appropriation from the state will be reduced to four times the amount apprcpriated.
