TRAFFIC DIFFICULT. ON BEDDING ROADS Town Is Split On Question Of Where Improvements
 Shall Begin

Redddng, Jan. 3O-This town, which
 was entirely neglected last year in the matter of State road construction, is now confronted by a prospective sit uation even more aggraVating, one created by the apparent deterTnina- tion of Highway Commissioner Mac donald to expend from $20, 900 to ESQ., 900 in building a. highway between Georgetown and the Center. As a consequence two other projects which
 had received his earlier approval and repeated promises of prompt attention
 are sidetracked for an indefinite per iod, at least two years as it would seem. These projects are the build ing of about a, mile necessary to com plete the hometown road from the Cen ter to the Bethel line, and the other the rebuilding of the Putnam Park road. The former improvement, con sidered as a whole, was begun some ten years ago For about a. year past the unbJiIt section has been in 8 condition almost impossible for travel, and the pressing need for action re- garding it was last summer repeated ly urged upon the State highway de- partment by the seIectmen.

CATTLE, WHEAT
FLOUR, MEATS
FOR FREE LIST
THIS IS THE PREDICTION OF
CHAIRMAN SIMMONS OF THE
FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Nominal Duty May Be Made on Meats
Wheat and Flour,
However.
(By Associated Press '

Washington, June 3.-ChairmaA
Simmons, of the Senate finance COM
nlittee, after conference with the
president today, said he believed that
when the tariff bill is ready for con-
sdcration by the Democratic caucus
next week that CATTLE, wheat, flour
and meats will be on the free list.
The subcommittee considering
agriculture schedules yesterday roc
Cn.mendcd a nominal duty on meats
ard flour to equalize them with the
free listing of cattle and wheat Sim
mons went direct to the capitol and
after seeing the president declared
lis intention of asking the SUBJ
committee to put cattle AMI wheat on
the free list. He later learned that
the president had decided on the re-
,ersal of the subcommittee recon-
mendation that finished products
should be male dutiable and raw ma
terial free, after he had received ac-
quiescence of many senator's ex-
pressed through Simmons.
The wool and sugar tariff schedules
uIcs are expected to be recommend l.
ed practically without change as
they passed the House to the entire
Senate finance committee by the SUB
committee at the last of the week.
The free sugar schedule has been ap-
proved by Senator Williams of the
subcommittee. The free wool schedule
was agreed to by Stones Of the SUBJ
committee. Democratic leaders say
that nothing will be altered by the
full committee and they predict hat
a party caucus will have no changes.
Speculation Is rife concerning tho
fate of meats and flour which have
been restored to the dutiable list
by the subcommittee. A change is
certain to be discussed by the f.
nance committee but the administra-
ton leaders believe the change will
bo approved. Should the Senate pass
the schedule many House Democrats
promise a fight to restore meats and
-four to the free list and make ca
tie free also.
Senator Fletcher testified that c.
h. Berriman, of Tampa, and Mr.. Da-
vie, Of Florida, had interviewed him
concerning tariff on cigars and Gu
gar. Senator Penrose gave list OF
IFS persons who talked with him on
the tariff but all testified that no
improper methods were used.
