WORD ABOUT CEDAR HILL,
Mr.. Donigan, the builder. has broken
ground for the erection of nice two-fam-
lily home on State street, near Blatchley
avenue bridge. This will be the fourth
house erected on this plot of ground which,
previous to year or SO ago, was never be-
fore occupied by any dwelling as far as
known, except an Indian wigwam or
two. This section is now rapidly
growing. A few years ago quite
a start was taken in building operations on
State street, up by Ferry street bridge.
The triangular lot at that junction, on
which for years Ralph q. Park of Norwich,
ex-principal of Wooster school, resided in
dwellings, quite group in all, and about
dozen more were shortly after erected in
that same locality. There are five two
family houses now being erected on View
street, overlooking the Neck bridge mead
ows. The Warren place section ia we'll
built up and now the lower part, on State
street, near the horse car barns
on one side and Blatohley avenue

city of New Haven is rapidly growing in
every direction and the 100, 900 inhabitants
we hear New Haveners talking about at
the "big dinners" will ere long run far
ahead Of that figure If nothing happens to
prevent.
CEDAR HILL DEPOT.
The Cedar Hill people are delighted with
the idea of having the Cedar Hill depot To-
Gated at the junction of State street with
Blatchley avenue. It is now understood
that the new depot will be located at that
point, which Is very convenient one for
the public in all that section of the city.
ELECTRIC STREET CARS.
The State Street Horse Railroad company
has now double tracks the length of it's
route, and, as soon as 1t gets the necessary
power from the authorities to use electrici-
ty, will proceed to equip its road to that
end. In the spring. it is expected, the
company will begin the work of thus
equipping its line. The electric cars will
probably be running over the State street
fine before next autumn.
