neA- The project of connecting their city with the Naugatuck Valley by railroad di- rect to Derby, is being discussed with good deal of enthusiasm by the New Haven people. It seems that the route is quite feasible, the expense will not be astonishing, and the com mercial advantage that such road would yield to New Haven would probably surprise the most sanguine friends of the enterprise, New Haven is the most natural outlet to the Nsugasuck Valley, and it was shameful error in the people of that city to let the Naugatuck railroad run to Bridgeport. But if common report is true, that New Haven is the poorest place in Connecticut to trade in, it will take something more than direct communication into that city to bring it the patronage of peo- pie up this way: its merchants will have to learn to compete with those in Waterbury Bridgeport and Hartford, and to do that they will have to be smart.
