A. Yes, there is talk about it but it

importance of the administrative acts

BOSTON POST ROAD
 WILL BE WIDENED
S6 Foot Highway From New Haven to New York Planned

Hartford April l9.-Hidening Of the Boston Post road from the New York state line to New Haven from its pres ent width Of about IS feet to 36 feet is contemplated in plans now being carried out by the state highway de- pertinent. This is the outstanding de- ,elopment Of road-building program prepared by Commissioner John 4. Macdonald that wilt require about five years for fuInllment.
 Complete hard surfacing Of all the through main line routes in the state is d part ot the proposal, and ultimate completion Of the scheme will see Connecticut covered by network Of hard surfaced highways from all transportation centers 10 the state lines of New York, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
 This plan involves four distinct routes that carry the main burden Of motor transportation through Connec- lieut. from New York 10 Massachusetts and Rhode Island and vice versa The most important or these are the Bos- lon Post road from New York to New London, and the main branch of this route from New Haven through Hart ford to Springfield.
 The others are the Housatonic valley highway from the southwestern corner of the state northward through Fair field and Litchfield counties to Massa- ah irh fu saU pletion, and the route from New Lon- don. through Norwich and Putnam to the state line at Massachusetts.
 Added to these, is the present mili- tary concrete highway from Hartford 10 New London. The hard-surfacing of the projects mentioned above, there fore, will give the state a complete chain Of roadways on its main line routes.
 Doubling the width Of the Boston Post road from New York to Bridge port to thirty-six feet is now being carried out in three places. These are at Greenwich. Darion and Cos Cob When the work has been carried as far as Bridgeport. contracts will be awarded for similar treatment to the Milford turnpike from Bridgeport 10 New Haven.
 The plan for doubling the width of this highway was decided upon after due consideration had been given by the department 10 the proposition Of constructing a separate parallel high way 10 share the heavy traffic on the Post road through this section. Tho ss foot road, which will be one Of the few of its kind in the country, is ex- pccted 10 remove traffic congestion here. which now is heavy and which is increasing steadily each year.
