line system.
Claude w. Stevens, who was pres.
ent at the session. explained the bill
this morning. He said that there arc
two kinds of systems in the state,

state trunk line system. In the form
CIR the town pays a certain per cent
for building and maintaining roads.
In the latter the state pays all ex-
penscs.
Berlin now pays one-fourth of the
cost OF maintaining the highway from
Flannery's corner to New Britain.
The state pays the rest. 1t was the
purpose of the bill to have the road
turned into a trunk line highway.
The reason for this, according to
Mr.. stevens, is that there is a great
deal of travel from New York. Bridge
port and New Haven over the road
which is badly in need of repair and
should be made of concrete.
Mr.. Stevens thinks along with other
people that the proposition is fair
one. He sees no reason why the state
should not take over the road.
