 The New Road, Pro and Con.
 The question of land damages will probably prove fatal one when 1t comes to accepting the layout for the new state road in the locality north of the borough through the lands of the estate of Alexander s. Palmer and Ed ward F. Darrall and others. It Is ex- pected that prices will be high on this property. As to the new route itself, there Is considerable unfavorable com ment over it in town, owing to the fact that the borough is left haf- mile or so behind. A number of peo- pie see an advantaage, however, stat ing that the automobiles, for which the new road is being built are of no benefit to the borough and are only an occasion of dust and lodging. As soon as the decision of tho highway com missioner is announced protests will be filed at Hartford against the pro ject of going through the land or some of the summer residents Of the town. as they are opposed to any change in the layout The attitude Is quite different from that of several Quiambaug people who are afraid that they are going to be left off to one side when the new work Is put through and have offered to give some of their front yards to keep the high way rom OelnS moved
