lace Seeks To Escape From Heat
Junior Town Mayor To Occupy
Office For Hour.
The proposed state road from
Bristol to Waterbury via Wolcott is
subject Of frequent discussion
about the city and today 1t was in
timated by DIR. B. B. Robbins, city
health officer, that delegation
would undoubtedly call upon state
officials soon to see If the work
could not be started. The doctor
pointed out that the necessary ap-
preparation for the Improvement
was voted two years ago and at that
time a promise was made that the
work would be started before the ex-
piration OF two years.
The Wolcott route to Waterbury
is the direct one between that city
and Bristol and saving of many
miles will be made when the new
highway becomes a reality. At pres
ent numerous autoists travel via
Wolcott but the road is extremely
narrow In many places and it is Oft
en- necessary for cars to wait in
wider place for cars approaching to
pass.
There are also several large tracts
Of valuable land on the Wolcott
route which, it j. pointed out, will
be opened for building sites when
the new road Is completed, and at
the rate Bristol is expanding, 1t is
felt that the time is not far away
when such sites would find a ready
market.
