Work on the resurfacing of Pine street and Woodford avenue is now virtually complete. and it is expect ed that the contractor vii finish tho job tomorrow. This gives the towns- people well-paved street leading to and from the two largest factor ies in Plainville and supplants the hole-infested road and narrow, dan- Gerous pavement which existed pre- viously. The Pine street surfacing Was formerly well above the trol- Icy tracks alongside the road. a condition which made driving ha- zardous. while two huge trees jut- ted out into the pavement in a threatening manner and were r,s sponsible for at least one fatality The road has now been lowered to the level of the tracks, while the new pavement is entirely outside of tho trees and extends across the westbound track of the Connecticut Co.
 The town is now engaged in ex- tending the paved surface for IS feet across the eastbound track in order to have a wide. fully paved road. As the trolley company will pay for all work within eight inches of it's rails. the cost to the town will be negligible. The Trumbull Flee tric Mfg. Co. and Standard Steel & Bearings. Inc, are each bearing one third of the expense of the work done by the contractor.
 On Woodford avenue the surfac- ing extends past the two factories and to the brow of the slight grade l beyond the Standard Steel plant. MeleskO Home Raidell
