CUT ACROSS CITY VIA MONROE ST,
Extension to Glen St. Approved
 by Public Officials
NET COST ONLY ABOUT SS,O0o
Property Could Be Purchased Ior St0,500 Tor Completion of New Thoroughfarc Leading From West End 10 Southern section.

Approval was given today by Mayor A. M. Paonessa and Chair man Edward F. Hall Of the board of finance and taxation to @ plan worked out by the city plan com mission whereby Monroe street may be extended 10 Glen street.
 At an estimated cost of sS,000 10 the city, land for this project would be secured to afford the only high way traversing the entire town with out passing a railroad crossing at grade.
 Mayor Paonessa and Senator Hall | conferred this morning with Com missioners John J. Higgins and John A. Andrews of the plan board and | City Engineer Joseph D. Williams. Estimates of expenditure involved in securing the land end its conversion into a highway were prepared by | Commissioner Higgins and present ed for study.
 For highway purposes two proper ties are required. These are the l AlOPp dIu INlI5 IlclulI6o' illC Iplih being on the market for s12,000 and the latter for s7,500. It is also plan- ned to purchase part of the Kurt holdings and transfer houses now or the other sites to these properties. l is the belief of Commissioner Hig gins that $10,O00 would be secured for the relocated Klopp house anC s7,000 for the relocated King prop erty. The total expenditure would bt S22,500 and the income Si7,000.
 Construction of this highwa! would obviate the necessity of buy ing rights of way for water mail soon to be built. The main is nov built to Greenwood street on on side and Glen street on the othe with the area involved in the con ! templated purchases intervening These rights of way would involv a o $5,000 expenditure. Assessment , of damages and benefits would al , most offset one another and smal
 amount would be required for fill
 at a low part Of the proposed high \ way.
 l The project appears to city off 5 cials to be feasible one and heart = approval was given today. 3 The city plan commission unde the amended charter is privilege 0 to purchase land fer such improve X ments and may also buy and SC
 other properties necessary to tn D improvement. Under this clause - is planned to make general change - which will increase the income frol | the transactions.
 . If the board of finance and ta,
 ation approves an appropriation q
 rect to the city plan commissic
 would be made. When the mont is returned it will go into the stre V improvement fund from which " will be withdrawn for the highwf 70 project.
 Corbin avenue now runs in = Monroe street and extends to Gree. o wood street. At that point it end
 However at a point directly opposi ,. the present eastern terminus, Ell ,o street starts and runs clear throut ,o to Rocky Hill avenue. The on ,t railroad line encountered is at w
