 day's Ball Game-Personal. There are some features about the
 new state road up toward Yalesville
 that probably not over one out of ten
 of the residents here know about At
 the meeting called last fall for the
 purpose 1t was voted to appropriate
 $o,250 to build state road on North
 Colony street, extending from thenorth
 end of the present road, as far as the
 money would allow. The specifications. etc, were duly preparedr and Upson &
 Granniss were the lowest bidders and were awarded the contract. It was SUD- posed that the appropriation would be
 used, as in former years. to build the stone road, as far as the money would allow, but it seems that State Com missioner Macdonald has arranged otherwise As. the contract with Upson & Granniss calls for the grading of the road up to the culvert below'the Yales- vile depot, while the stone road will E. Yale's and William k. Rice,s house about a half mile south5of the cuIvert. The cost of the gradingsfrom that point to the culvert would, If expended in continuing the stone road, be sufficient to extend the road about 800 feet fur- ther up the line to about opposite Eras- tus Hubbard's place. The road from this point to the culvert, which natural Ixy 1 G. poor condition, has within few years been covered with a heavy coating of gravel and is now the best piece of road in town, outside of the stone roads, and the resdentstin that vicin- ity, and many others who have to trav- el that way, are strongly opposed to the idea of having the road above where the stone road will end disturb ed at all until two years from now, when it can be finished clear to the culvert, and they urge that all the ap- propriation should be used to continue the state road as far as possible and leave the north end on which so much has already been expended in putting in fine condition as it is for the pres- ent. There is quite little dissatisfac-t tion expressed, and it is probable that some action such as calling a meeting to discuss the matter and see if a change cannot be made in the plans, as it is thought that if Commissioner Macdonald was aware of the feeling re- garding the same he would no doubt accede to the wishes of those interest," ed and make the necessary changes in the contract. Some of the residents of that vicinity are so strongly opposed to the plans as now made that they will, if other means fail, ask for an injunc- ton to prevent the north end from be- ing graded any further than the stone extends.
 Factory P International Silver com pany, will build this summer a two story brick addition 30x98 feet for which Warehouse Brothers company of Meri- den have secured the contract This factory will also largely increase it's power equipment by the addition of new 1n0-horse power water wheel.
