The bad ecurves will soon be out of existence and they have | been a dread to automobile drivers go- ing to and from Boston and New York and as this road is the main line be- tween these points the improvement will be greatly appreclated. At Oxo- cossett creek a large dam is being con- structed to keep back the water from the meadows where the work of wid- ening of the road at that point is nec- essary.
