Arthur of Stamford who is doing this work, 1 expects to have the 1900 feet laid over this street. Barnum avenue in Bridgeport was completed last winter and with the completion of the Strat- ford end of the street there is a good road the entire distance from Bridge port to New Haven.
 The concrete road over Barnum avenue in Stratford is being laid at a cost of $12.5O a. cubic yard or about l S2.S0 a. square yard with a charge of 35 cents a square yard for grading l The concrete is being laid from the 1 Bridgeport line Il feet wide on each i side of the trolley tracks with an eX- ] tension of three feet into every in ] terseCttnE street. This run into the i side streets means that there will al ! ways be a CrOsswalk. The II feet on | each side of the trolley tracks will ] extend to the top of Franklin Hill i and from that point to Main street. | hHri SLt1NA NAy L1iG " tIltLL OL tlle COIlCL tLt | will be 10 feet with no running into l the side streets. The reason for the narrower width Is that Barnum ave nue is not as well built up on the | east end as it is on the west. Cutters and curbs are to be laid on this 1 street from the city line to the top | of the hill.
