STATE HIGHWAY
 DEPT. IS LAUDED (. (. Nichols Addresses Mems
 Bible Glass ITS WORK IS DESCRIBED
Schools and Banks Will Observe Holiday Tomorrow Bowling League Matches Schcduled-East Berlin News and Other Items.

The officials of the Connecticut state highway department are proud of their efficient work in this state" highway department and president Of the National Exchange clubs, at the meeting of the Mems Bible class of the Berlin Congregational church last evening in the Com rnunity hall
 The speaker declared that the state highway department is fully equipped with the necessary means to do efficient work on the state highways. At the present time there are 2,000 miles of paved highways in Connecticut which, If laid together in one straight line. would reach as far as Richmond. Virginia. The hard roads cover about 5000 miles of territory in the state, he said.
 Mir. Nichols said that the highway department received about $2,o00 to work with when the department was first organized. This had to be Used for the whole years work. Now the department receives at least s10,000,000 year. Most of this money comes from the motor ve- hicle department.
 The department was at first con- ccrned only with the care of the state highways. the speaker con- tinued. The field of labor has been increased and bridges, landscapes and the removal of snow in the win ter time has been added to the duties. Each county and district has superintendent in charge, and this provides for efficient work. During the winter these euperintendents have a snow clearing gang on the highways as soon as the snow gets three inches deep. These men can be put to work at an half hours notice. At times the laborers have worked 24 hours steadily, and some- times have been known to work s6 hours without stop, in order to clear the roads.
 The speaker has been & member of the state highway department for the last 21 years. He is the national president of the Exchange clubs. Speaking about the clubs, the speak CT declared that the purpose of the Exchange clubs is to accomplish some improvement in civic affairs and to be of service to the com munity. The Exchange mem mbership 1 totals 25.000 and extends all over the country.
