The possibility of a | nighway from the Farmington town | | line to the corner of North Main and | North streets in this city now loons brighter, and it is possible that the | work may be done this summer in conjunction with the proposed state road from this city to Terryville via | Terryville avenue. It wasg definitely | learned last night that the matter was being considered by officials cf | the state highway départment and it is probable that some decision will be reached in the near future. The | | work of construction the new road to Terryville is now up for bids, which will be opened in the office | of State Highway Commissioner John A.

The land in question, lowned by Mr. Phelan and Joseph . Donovan, is located on the north side of Farmington avenue, and, if accepted, will perw.it the widemng of the nighway.

Since the completion of the state road be- /tween the Plainville-Farmington | road and the Bristol town line over #‘armington avenue last year, many Bristol motorists have been taking |that route to Hartford., saving sp- | proximately 5 miles of travel. The conversion of Farmington |avenuc into a state road. it is point- ed out, would also take a large |amount of traffic away from the center of the city and would tend 1!0 reduce congestion in the vicinity | |of Main and S8chool streets during l’lhe day. in Street Im- | Makes Ap- new state Authorize Use of Check-Signer The use of the new check-signing {machine in the city clerk's office | was authorized by the city council at ity meeting last night following a {lengthy discussion.
