council is. now being, revived by the
New London Chamber of Commerce.
Just as 1t, was picked up by the old
New London Board Of Trade, and it is
given the semi occasional airing.
Again there is talk of extending
Washington street. across lots to Reed
street, with view Of making Just a
little closer connection with the Bank
street and Howard street section. or
as 1t has been commonly referred to as
more direct route to Pequot avenue
and for the purpose of relieving the
congestion of upper Bank street
Heretofore it has been decided that
the proposed improvement did not
warrant the expense, and at that time
the tax rate was six mills less than
at the present time.
The plan Of the chamber Of conn
meree just new is to 60 farther than
ever before and includes not. only the
extension but also the widening OF
Washington street. This could be
done, SO they say, by moving all the
buildings back from the present line.
That would be going some and would
more than the terminal pier cost the
state. Twenty years or so ago the es-
tinated cost Of the extension was
$4,000. but that did not include the
cost Of widening the street, just mere
" the extension. The cost was con-
sidered to be prohibitive then. and
there WIS no actual need for the ex-
tension.
The proposed extension Of Wash
ireton street 10 not rear as deserving
of serious consideration as was the
first project of James D. Lynch, of the
Pequot section. who was also the orig
inator of the project now receiving the
attention Of the New London Cham
Der Of Commerce Mr.. Lynch's first
plan for a more direct route to the
Pequot without the inconvenience of
build a highway, a continuation of
Pequot avenue to extend from the
Howard street cut. lcngthwise of
Shaw's cove to Division street, to
Bank, and then through property at
the time owned by James T. Conner
and Walter Fitzmaurice, to Truman
street. MI. Lynchs plan provided for
the laying of water pipes in the high
way across the cove, claiming that it
would be more economical for the
city to build that road across the cove
than to extend the water and sewer
service lines through the lodges of
granite in Shaw street
Subsequent work proved Mr.. Lynct's
prediction to be practically true. But
that plan was abandoned before the
present was submitted. Both are an
cient history and perhaps should be,
returned to the local archives of the
ancients and be dramatically sealed.
When Canal street row Reed street
was connected with Colt, by the re-
moval of the fence that crossed the
street, the later connected with Bank
street, almost in line with Howard il
was supposed to be the end of all pro
jects for more direct line to Pequot
avenue and to relieve the congestion
OF Bank street. And it has served its
purpose, to some degree.
