FEDERAL AID ROAD IS
 ABOUT TO RE OPENED

The state highway department is ready to open on December 1 the new trunk line highway between Hartford and New Lon don, which has been completed along modern lines by the work done on the section from Glastonbury to New Lon don.
 The road runs from a point about mile and a half from the center of Glas- tonbury, through the towns of Marlbo- rough, Colchester. just through the cor ner of the township of Montville and into Waterford connecting with the road that leads to the corner of Broad street and Jefferson avenue in New London. The to- tai cost of the project has been S1,Se0,- 900 of which th United States govern ment is paying S642.00o. The average width of the road Is eighteen feet, though on the curves f is widened to twenty SIX feet. The surface is of concrete laid six inches thick at the edges and eight inches at the center in accordance with the most approved methods of highway construction. In Glastonbury just west of Marlborough about two miles of the road is yet incomplete although the old road which it Is planned to use at that point is in fair shape and perfectly pass able
 The project for the new road was sign- | ed in November, 1919, and work was act ually begin in May of the following year | The contract for the entire job was di- vided into four sections, and the work has progressed satisfactorily ever since | it's beginning. Although it is claimed that | cement roadbeds may be laid during tn, cold weather when the thermometel goes down below the freezing point.

highway will be reapec by the men and women who live in the section through which it passes, and which has hitherto been practically cut off from easy com munication with the rest of the state.
 It is estimated thak between forty and fifty thousand persons congregate on the Connecticut shCie between Saybrook and New London during a week end at the height of the summer season. All of these who come from the northern and central portions of the state have had to travel back and forth yer one of two roads the Hartford, Marlborough, Say brook road or the one through Manches- ter. Willimantic and Norwich. Over eith- CT of these highways, the distance be- tween Hartford and New London Is six ty miles
 With the opening oi the new road the traffic on both the older routes will be decidedly lessened and the distance to New London from Hartford will be cut sixteen miles. Even that does not ade- quately represent the actual saving in time. for the new road is so constructed that bad turns, narrow ridges and dangerous crossings are practically elim- mated. There is but one grade crossing on the entire route. Besides this. the curves on the new highway, which is of cement, are all super-elevated or banked" so that 1t Is possible to drive an automobile pleasure car or truck around them without materially slacken- | ing speed.
 | In short, the building of the new road means that thirty-four miles of Connecti- cut road which was formerly r/,ed in the rock strewn style known as God, macadam' has become a modern cement highway built for motor traffic and ca, pablo of handling 5000 cars daily |
 necessary. The new road is also sufTi | ciently well built and all the culverts are strong enough to carry the heavies pieces of military equipment such as mo
 torized artillery.

SOUNDINGS ON COLUMBIA
TAKEN IN STEEL BOAT

Twenty-Five surveyors who for six
weeks have been surveying the To-
cation for dam and power site at
the Kettle falls of the Columbia
river, have nearly completed the pre-
liminary survey. A steel cable was
stretched across the river at the up
per end of the island and steel
boat constructed for the purpose,
with air compartments and acapac
ity of % persons, was swung into
the stream tied to the cable, so that
the sounding might be taken every
five feet across the river. The We
locity and volume of the flow also
were measured. The boat was
brought to Marcus by rail from
Seattle by the Grant-Smith Engineer
ing Co., which is doing the work.
The high and low stages of the
river also were ascertained as far
up the river as Northport.
Clay deposits near Northport are
said to be excellent material for cof-
ferdam construction and several test
samples were taken.
1t is said that this power site
location, formerly held on an option
by the CRANKY smelter interests, has
been released recently to a new
holder.
Several clerks have arrived in Col
vile recently and have been alb
stractng all the low lands known as
the Marcus flats for three weeks.
The town of Marcus and the flats
would be inundated by backwater
should such dam be erected above
Kettle Falls.
The Washington Water Power
company is said to be interested in
this new power proposition, while
other rumors have it that the Great
Northern railway may be planning
to electrify
Experienced engineers say that it
would involve an expenditure of from
ten to twenty million to carry out
such gigantic power plant and dam
scheme, including the cost of pay
ing for all the land flooded. Such
a plant would be larger than the
Dalles power dam, at present the
largest power plant on the Columbia
river
