MAKING IMPROVEMENT
 OF HARTFORD PIKE
All Towns But MontviIIe Have Spent
 Their State Money.

In the work for the improvement of the Hartofrd turnpike all of the towns interested have so far done their share with the exception of Montvilie In spending their share of state high way money upon this Section of road The towns toward the Hartford end have been the first to spend their al- lotments-$300o apiece-one- eighth or one quarter being the towns share ac- cording to the amount Of the grand list, the state paying seven eighth or three quarters respectively. From Hartford to Colchester the pike was not so hard to travel but from there on to New London it was so.lething all drivers of vehicles feared to con template.
 Salem has spent it's appropriatiol- 1 and Colchester has gone farther, hay ing built about three miles of roas The usual town appropriation of $S,o0e will build something like a age amount of grading. Some time ago Waterford started to do its share beginning at the New London line at the end of Broad street. Waterford portion is the worst on the entire pike Also when done the work will con atitute the greatest improvement Thus far about three quarters of a mile of water bound macadarn has ; been laid. part of which with Telford LOuftudlIOll It IS e4p6ClcQ 10 go about 9 mile. or just over the locality known as Flat Rock The work has been , held up several times by bad weather but 1t is expected to be done by spring Ccasstds,eJie moro road wiI still need attention in Waterford but the see- ton improved will be a great help to users of the pike.
 Tnecs yet rer-sa;rs the town of Montville to do tt1 5Lare. It has ob- tafned it's allotment of highway mon ey, but hea rot voted to apply 1t up- en tho Hartford pike. Commissioners Bennett stsEds ready to authorize the work as quickly as the town decides to go ahead While everyone Is ready to admit that the improvement of the Hartford turnr!ke Is good thing. some Of the Montville people would rather see the highway money spent at the other end of the town. where of the town officials feel that the state ought to agree to finish the trunk line if the town spends a years allotment or road money upon this project, but as yet Commissioner Ben- nett cannot consistently make such a promise First 6eiectman Bradford of Mrntviile was sn consultation with Mayor Rogers. who Ass been an ar dent worker for the Hartford turn pike project, last week, in an effort to find some way by which Montville may be induced to fall Into line with tha ether towns ard it Ia likely that ncfne favraabia outcome will follow, About thrss miles of Hartford pike are in the town of Montviile and the town'E appropriation of aa.0oe, with fhe gtate's allotment of $6.00o addi- horai. will easily cover one third of this distance.
