Matter BrOached Before.

Matter BrOached Before. This matter of a new highway will necessarily affect Plainville to a great 1 extent. The section in which the ] flanders and the Standard Steel and Bearings factories are located is de- veloping rapidly and will at some ] time be thickly populated, it is be- 1 Heved, and it is certain that people l who reside in that district will want 1 idewalks.
 1 The proposed highway is a renewal ] of a plan proposed by the Plainville 1 town authorities in 1910, when Peter ] J. Prior was first, selectman. The ! townspeople and business men ap proved of it. but funds for the worl, were lacking. The matter of build 1 ing halfway was submitted to the NeN 'bfltaln city administration and met with approval in that quarter 1 New Britain, however, was financially unable to undertake the work. 1t is not improba ble that when the 1 City of New Britain decides to act l favorably upon this proposition Inc
 local town authorities will receive a l proposal asking that the Town of l Plamville assume the burden of half or the work-that of building a road l rom East street to the New Britain ] town llne. The matter has not been l discussed to any great extent here 1 ana no soundings have been taken or publlc opinion on the proposition. put It IS certain that many business men are favorably inclined aIthoueh \ they would not allow themselves to
 be quoted to that effect.
