 It is on Marshall street that St i Mary's church is having erected its | beautiful new Broom addition to the paroehiai school While the presence of this structure, which when complet- ] ed, will be one of the show places of i the city, requires a we'll appearing street. this is not the chief reason for recommending the development of 1 this highway. The roadbed is in wretched condition and in certain sea- sons of the year Is a menace to most all kinds of vehicles, particularly those that are motor propelled. The street is one of the busiest in the city and therefore Is subjected to constant and heavy traffic. The suggested l S5. 800 appropriation would permit 1 the building of a new roadbed more in keeping with the importance of | the street and one which will stand up" under the severe traffic.
 Would Install Curbing
 The warning also includes an item of S1,5O0 for the purpose of making permanent improvements on streets, which numerous taxpayers have peti- | toned for to the council. This fund would permit the installation of curb \ ing and gutter on the easterly side 1 of Van den Noort street between Battey and Smith streets; on the east erly side of Bradley street adjoining i the Methodist Episcopal church; on the westerly side of Chapel street southerly of Bridge and for a distance of 120 feet on Lamont street; on Providence street adjoining the St. l Jean land.
 City Engineer Perry recommends 1 that retaining wall be built at the 1 outlet of the hospital sewer, where it enters the Quinebaug River. He states that because of the nature of the sand at that point, there is dan 1 ger of the sewer outlet becoming plugged up. The retaining wall would prevent the sand from accommodating and therefore remove the danger of | future trouble. To build this retain ing wall and for the completing. fill- l ing and grading over the sewer, would cost S250. An appropriation for this sum will be voted upon at the com ing city meeting.
 Lamont Street Needs Improving
 The city meeting wifi also be re- | quired to Vote upon an appropriation of s250 for the grading of Lamont street and for the extending of the drain on Providence street.
 1 All of she appropriations mention l ed above Will be voted npen hy ballot, the polls being open from 6 o'clock in the morning until 5 in the after noon.
 To defray the cost of oiling streets where taxpayers have made formal petitions for this dust laying method.

AIDES ago.
Each performance during the
twenty-four weeks season of opera
this fall and winter will represent
an aggregate cost Of from $l2,0 to
S130 600. while before the war the cost
was $4,000 to $4,000. Twenty years
ago the expense was about $1,000 a
performance.
Long Weeks of Work.
Operagoers who flock to opening
nights Of new productions face the
consummation of long weeks of work
representing a financial outlay OF
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Although the stars of the world
famous company are being paid sal
aries commensurate with the gen.
eral increase in expenses. officials of
the company said the greatest in
crease in expenses had been In Incl
dentals." or in the material appur-
tenances Of the operas both on and
off the stage.
The season at the opera, once six
teen weeks, is now twenty-four. one
week more than last year. The pro-,
gram for the current year includes
seven revivals and three entirely new
operas, while more than fifty new
scenes have been added to the back
stage properties at an expense In pro-
portion with the Increased cost of
labor.
The sway and popularity of the
opera among music lovers and social
leaders is on the increase rather than
the wane, II was declared by an
opera official. who said this years
subscription list was $4,000 greater

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT
TRACED BACK TO INDIANS
Highway Improvement in Amer
icas Initiated by Tribes Of Co.
lombia, Archeologist Says.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 30.--The good
roads movement in the Americas had
it's inception at least 500 years ago
among the Indians OF Colombia, Dr.
J. Alden Mason, archeologist attached
to the Field Museum, here, has found.
Long before white people had any
thoughts about the two American con-
tinents the Indians of Colombia were
walking on paved streets, according
to DR. Mason, reporting on his re-
cent visit to that country.
And at that time the road builders,
instead of building to keep their feet
dry, are said by the report to have
been inspired in all probability by a
desire to keep off ticks which infest
the territory.
DR.. Mason found streets paved with
stone running in all directions on the
sites Of prehistoric Indian villages.
He brought back large quantities of
relies showing the old inhabitants
to have been especially skilled in the
making of beads and gold ornaments
The pottery made by the aboriginal
Indians Of the district, DR.. Mason
said, was among the finest to be
round anywhere on the continent.

Miss Nanette Guilford, eighteen
years old, OF New York. who made
her debut in part of 'Rigoletto," is
one y! tne youngest sopranos ever to
