THROWS WET RAG
 ON CAT HOLE ROAD
Macdonald Says It May Not Be
 Built for Years

1T may he 15 years before the state builds good road between this city and Meriden over the site of the Cat Hole road according 10 .an opinion expressed today at the weekly session of the Rotary club by State Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald. The state official said he has road work planned for that period which has already been ordered by tho state legislature. Asked by Eotarians whether he could not get work started sooner on this road he said there are 500 miles Of worse roads than the Cat Hole road and which require more i'm mediate attention. There are be- tween 40o and 500 miles of roads in the state which are impossible in i the winter, he claimed
 In discussing the highway situa- ton in Connecticut the commission CT stated that Connecticut has 1900 miles of state highways to maintain. On these highways are 10S gangs of mon, including 651 laborers and 1so truck drivers. The maintenance de- rartment alone employees 1900 men, he said. the entire year around. There are 15o snow blows. which operate whenever there has been fall of three inches of snow and which average 10 miles each. Storms in Connecticut travel reg ! IIllr 1nanrltncy tn l, i, or, and when one first strikes the state, the highway department can : anticipate its course and ofttimes can move equipment to where 1t will l he needed.
 If blows are not put to work when snow gets 10 he three inches deep, they may not he able to handle the work at all. Seven inches of snow is sufficient to tie up tho roads in most places, although In Lltrhfeld county the state has sev- era) l 5 ton blows which are oper- atod hv tractors and can blow through heavier drifts.
 Cost of Removing Snow
 Snow removal costs from S1S tc SaS mile and averages about 4o 3 mile, Tn a snowfall of more than three inches the average cost per storm in Connecticut is about S7O, GOO.
 Among the other expenses in ad dition 10 the maintaining and re. building roads, the state operates two ferries and several draw bridges The road from New Brit. tain 10 Hartford through Elmvood was built entirely from automobile fees.
 A general discussion on the ques ton of fences followed. The com. missioner said fence alongside tht | road is not a barrier and is not ex pected 10 stop cars which leave th' road, So far as it's effect is con. cerned in night driving especially the same result could he obtained h! rainting white lines alongside th' road.
