 Highway Troubles.
 There is a possibility of the promi- nent citizens of the town sending
 petition to Commissioner Bennett in
 Hartford requesting that the road be- tween here and East Berlin be com
 pleted before taking all the machin- cry from the turnpike on Berlin street to Hartford. This so-called East
 Berlin road has been in a bad condi-
 ton for many years and very few at
 tempts have been made to remedy
 things. It is felt by the people that
 this road is used by many automo-
 bilists during the summer. especially
 by the travellers from New Britain and Waterbury who do not like to go through Meriden to go to the shore. 1, It is a short cut and the new road under construction would be apprc- ciated by all. Work on repairing 1t was started early this spring but it was left in a half f-finished condition when thrown open to traffic and has never been touched since.
 Yesterday afternoon C. w. Stevens went to Hartford to see MT. Bennett. Mir. Bennett told him that owing to | the present labor conditions it would be impossible to touch the East Ber- | lin road this fall. He thought that | something might be done next spring. | Notwithstanding this fact the majority | of the citizens feel that this road | should be done immediately and will | forward the petition if made.
