EVERGREENS WIN FROM
 LAKEVILLE BIG FIVE
Evergreens Win from the Red Leaves by the
 Score of SOAP .

The Evergreen A. c. helped the Lakeville Big Five complete an un- satisfactory season by defeating them in their own hall last Thursday evening. The final score was 1915, the locals holding Lakeville to their lowest score this year.
 Beauion and Mccarthy sent Ca Inaan into an early lead by contribu- ting baskets. Baskets by O'Lough- lin and Silvernale and foul tries by Raynsford and 0'Loughlin gave Lakeville points and the lead. The locals came back strong toward the end of the half and went ahead 1O-s. Then the whistle blew for the first half. N
 The Evergreens fought hard to maintain their lead and neither side scored for five minutes of the second session Foul tries by Mccarthy and floor shot by Beaujon sent Canaan ahead 14-S. With four minutes to play Silvernale caged two baskets and o'Loughsin made one and q free ShroN. Meanwhile Mccarthy had netted another floor goal, making the score 1915. In spite of frantic cheers from the fans, most of whom were rabid women rooters, Lakeville was unable to score again, while Mccarthy tucked two more points away. In the midst of a hilarious uproar by the fans who accompanied the Evergreens, the whistle blew and the Lakeville rooters left the hall wrapped in a blanket of gloom and disgust. ...#
 The Evergreens are sorry to have disappointed the expectations of Lakeville, but it really had to be done to relieve the swelled head epidemic that is prevalent in that vicinity.
 Stannard's floor work and passing was an important factor in the locals offensive. The guarding of Keenan and Bees was up to their regular standard. Lakeville's forwards were held to baskets each. Raynsford, their. most consistent scorer, was unable to sink basket off Baldwin and had to be contended with a measly foul tally. Baldwin scored a floor shot. McCarthy's work stands out as the best of the evening. Beau jon's efforts were crowned by the acquisition of 2 baskets. The guarding of both teams was of superior rank. ......, .f.s
 Maloney refereed a good game, and was satisfactory to both sides. The score:

NEW BRIDGE AT KENT
To Replace That Swept Away by .. Water and Ice ..a>.es ~

A temporary suspension foot bridge has been installed at Kent, replacing the one which was swept from it's foundation by water and ice last week The bridge formerly afforded passage from the town proper to. Kent School. Work on a temporary wooden bridge suitable for all vehicles will commence Mon- day under the, direction of R. L. Saunders, deputy state highway com missioner. The temporary bridge, which will be ready for use about March 23, will be so erected as not to interfere with the permanent re- placement of the destroyed bridge.
 State Highway Commissioner Charles J. Bennett has issued instruc- tions for the preparation of specified tions for single-span, steel truss bridge at Kent, the estimated cost of which will, be approximately $20,000, ohe-half of which will be paid by the town. The single-span type of construction is considered the most economical, doing away with a middle pier. ..

MAY CHANGE LOCATION
Housatonic Valley Road Would Inter
 fere With Water Power Projects

State Highway Commissioner Charles J. Bennett had conference Thursday with engineers of the Connecticut Light & Power Company with reference to the proposed new Federal aid trunk line , highway through the Housatonic valley. It has developed that the proposed lo- cation of this highway would render impossible the development of sev- eral water power projects now un- der consideration by the power com pany and which were authorized by the charter. granted it by the legis- lature.
 The conference was for the pur- pose of ascertaining if some adjust ment> could be arrived at whereby the highway could be relocated in such a manner as not to interfere with the development of the water powers. The engineers for the power company urged upon the highway commissioner that the water powers were of great economic value to the state and that consideration should be given to the possibilities of their: development. It is believed that some solution will be arrived at which will not destroy the water powers.
 The proposed route of the new highway passes through Sherman, New Milford, Kent, Sharon, Sails bury and North Canaan.

WASHINGTON TRIP OF
 HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS
News Assists Class in Raising
 Funds for the .t.-..s.--t Trip

Each year, as has become the GUS tom, the graduating class. of the Ga. naan High School materially add tc their education by taking a trip tc the nations capitol. The benefit ot such trip to the young men and women who are about to leave school life cannot be estimated. The new ness of the event, or shaking hands with the President as we'll as many other interesting things usually transpire, will always remain in the memory.
 In order to take such a trip and that it may not prove burden to the parents of these pupils, the class in various ways raises sufficient funds to pay expenses. Plays, dances, food sales and other means are adopted in which there is a margin of profit. This year the News has offered to assist the class in a financial manner by paying them a handsome commis- sion on all new subscriptions which they turn in, and the results already obtained are very satisfactory.
 While it may appear that this paper is purely selfish and is doing this for its own benefit, we wish to say that the commissoin offered is more than our profit on years sub scription. Our reasons for making a losing proposition is twofold; viz: we believe in education to the utmost degree and are willing to help all who try to secure; also we believe in ob- taining more subscribers, which will obtain more business for our adver- tisers, which in turn means more business for us. Thus what we lose in one respect we hope to more than balance in another.
 We understand that the class will leave for Washington on March 24th. Between now and that date they will endeavor to secure many new sub scriptions and we hope that all friends of the seniors in this vicinity who subscribe to the News will assist them in securing other subscribers. If they secure 100 new subscribers (aEd we expect they will) they will be given bonus in addition to their regular commission.

HEAVY DAMAGE TO . ROADS BY AUTO TRUCKS
Remedy Is Strict Enforcement of Law Against
 Overlooking

Damage to Connecticut highways by trucks so heavy that they broke through the surface amounted to over $600,00O in the spring of 1920, it was stated yesterday by State Highway Commissioner Charles J. Bennett. That marked the maximum sum that has had to be spent by the 1 department to repair such highways at the end of the spring frosts. Last springs damage was less, although it caused heavy expenditure.
 Determined to keep down such waste this year to minimum, the highway, motor vehicle and state po- lice departments have agreed to CO., operate in q plan of strict enforce ment of the law against overlooking. The law gives the highway commis- sioner the right to order reduction in the load of any truck using the state highways, if he thinks it is damaging the roads, or even to order the machine off the road altogether. The other two departments will assist him in the watch for trucks which are clearly detrimental to the high ways, and arrests will be made by the state police in fragrant cases, it was announced yesterday by Superin- tendent Robert T. Hurley. . {.
 The fact that a truck is registered to caryr a rated load does not hinder the highway commissioner ordering reduction of the load to a weight under the registered capacity, when he is convinced that it is too heavy for the particular road to be -tra- versed. The greatest trouble is ex- perienced, he said, on gravel roads and those of the cheaper construc- tion. Most of the concrete roads are bearing up remarkably well.
 Commissioner Bennett pointed out that the necessity and expense of re- pairing damage done to main roads in the spring often takes funds that could otherwise be used to extend the reconstruction work on highways that have become run down by long wear. [~ ..-
 The bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agri- culture is engaged in investigations designed to determine accurately the load carrying capabilities of various kinds of roads, of various thicknesses upon different kinds of subsoils-a study which is expected to yield valuable information in meeting the problem presented by heavy motor trucks.
