 The Trumbull Electric Mfg. Co. and the Standard Steel & Bearings. Inc. have agreed to cooperate with the town in resurfacing Woodford avenue and safeguarding and resur- facing Pine street, and each factory will bear one-third of the cost of the improvements. the selectmen announced today.
 Work has been started on ripping up the old surfacing, and the, con- tractors will begin to lay the new pavement next Monday. It is esti- mated that the total cost of the work will be $6.000. of which the town will pay only one-third and the factories one-third apiece.
 The two streets, which are really nf oaph <,fh ho been in bad condition for some time and there have been numerous com- plaints, but no money was available for new paving until the budget for the new fiscal year was approved at the recent town meeting. At that time the item for road work was somewhat increased over that of a year ago, the selectmen explaining that they wished to lay. on several streets, pavement which cost slightly more hut would last consid- erably longer than the former type of surfacing. This process. which consists of ripping up the old road with a scarifier and then laying and rolling the new surface. was first tried out this summer on the road to the Plainville Casting Co. and met with the approval of the town officials.
 Woodford avenue will be resur- faced from East street past the two factories involved and to the brow of the slight hill just east of the Standard Steel plant. Pine street will be resurfaced from East to East Main and the street level will be lowered to that of the trolley tracks At present it is raised to the side walk level and a dangerous condi- tion exists.
