Cook Avenue in PlainYille Among
Roads TO Be Reconstructed

Hartford, Aug. 30.-Contracts to-
falling close to si,ooo,0oo, and involv-
ing the construction of more than 20
miles Of road, In addition to con-
crete bridge, were awarded yesterday
by the state highway commissioner.
The total cost of the work will be
$685. 900, of which s159,2s0 in cement
will be furnished by the state.
Ten contracts, in all, were award
ed, the outstanding improvement be-
ing the construction of new high

a direct route from Hartford to Tor
rington and reduce the distance be-
tween these two places by eapproxi-
mately IL miles.
This Improvement begins at the
Nepaug reservoir and connects with
the improved road at the Torrington
town line. From Hartford, motorists
will travel by way of Collinsville and

necessity of reaching Torrington by
way of Thomaston or Winsted, as has
been the case heretofore. 1t is an
improvement that will mean much to
the travelling PUBIC. IL Will cost
approximately 100000.

contracts, there will be IA miles of
plain and reinforced concrete, seven
miles of bituminous macadam, more
than a mile of waterbornd macadam,
