 ON STATE AID ROAD
By Investing $1 ,000 Town Will Get S94,000 Piece of High
 way. S
Connecting Link on Proposed "cut-
 Out" Route

Over in the neighboring town of Pomfret there is a great deal of dis cussion going on as to what the vot- CTS will do at the special town meet- ing to be held next Friday, Ja'w 9th. The proposition Go be voted upon seems, on the face of t. Co be wheth- CT or not the town is willing Go accept a gift of SS3 1000 from the state of Connecticut by investing the sum of s1 .00O for the improvement of the highway leading from Pomfret rnil- road station Co Brooklyn. This stretch of highway is the only link on the "cut-Out" highway from the southern part of the state north through Canterbury, Brooklyn, Pom fret, the Woodstoeks to the Massachu- ssets line into Southbridge and Spring. field and is intended to relieve con- gestion on main trunk lines.
 The proposition of the state high way department. under the new law providing state aid to towns, is to build this line upon vote of towns along the route to make the neces- sary appropriations. All of the towns on the proposed route havo been quick Go take advantage of the states offer except the town of Pom fret, where some opposition to spend ing the money has developed.
 The Resolution
 The resolution Co be voted upon is. in substance, to see. il the town will appropriate the sum of Sa4,000 for the improvement of the highway Co the Brooklyn town line with the understanding that If such appr0pria- tion is made the state will expend $50. 900 and will reimburse the town for three fourthe Of the sm8unt the town is asked to appropriate. In other words, that the town will re- ceiye a piece of highway that will cost S94 900 for the actual expendi- ture of sI1,000, plus whatever in- tereet the town may be called upon to pay on borrowed money until such time as the town is reimbursed by the state. The second part of the reso- lution is to see if the town will author ize the sclectmen Co enter into an agreement with the state highway department Co carry on the work
 Generous Proposition
 The resolution to be submitted to the voters is the result of conference between the selectmen of Pomfret and Mir. Hulse, representative of the State Highway Commissioner. When it was stated by the representative that the cost of the six-mile stretch of highway was estimated at $2i0 ,000, Pomfret's share to be S94 ,000. this staggered the selectmen and the pro-

That the New York Boston air line highway will pass through Putnam, and the reason why the route was es- tablished as laid out, was made plain bv State Highway Commissioner John 4 Macdonald at gathering of repre- seutatives of thirteen Chambers of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut at tho Nathan Hale hotel, Willimantic, Monday evening. The Putnam Cham hsr of Commerce was represented by president Walter N. King, Vice-Presi- dent E. c. Rogers, Past President T. H. deCoudres, Secretary A. s. Mac donald. and County Commissioner Ar thur c. Keith.
 While the air line may not be the sbortest possible route between the ,,etropolis of the United States and inc metropolis of New England, the nrohlem confronting the highway de- nartment when the line was proposed so relieve some of the traffic over the Boston Post Road, which carries the ereatest amount of traffic of any high wav in the world, and Shore Line highway, was to relieve the congestion in the city of Hartford. This was ac- complished by routing the air line from New Haven to Middletown, city with an unusually wide Main street. instead of through the state capital. From Middletown to Willimantic, thence east to Putnam, over Brandy Hill to East Thompson, where the Connecticut end of the route termi- mates. It was stated by Commissioner Macdonald that the Massachusetts highway commissioner had agreed to meet the line with an improved high way through Douglas Woods, Milford, Dedham, and into Boston.

ton got here They will merely rati- fy the shaping of the platform. Some have tried to think that the vice pres idential nominee will be picked by the delegates But he won't be. The matter will be arranged by the lead- CTS before hand.
 Much time and energy therefore has gone to political gossip. Gubernator- ial hooms for Charles C. Morris of New Haven and William F. Thoms of Waterbury have received some attcn- ton. The Morris prospect looks the best of the two.
 To Endorse Tilson A proposition that the Democrats ] of New Haven district endorse Repre- sentative Tilson for reelection to Con- gross appears to be one ratification of the Tilson- -Rorahack feaa, intensified this month when Tilson lost out on his vice presidential hopes at the Repub- lican convention.
 The idea seems to he that if the l Democrats will 20 for Tilson the Ul- man faction In New Haven will help out tine rest Of the Democratic ticket thus taking n whack at koraback and making sure of Tilson's reelection at the same time The idea meets no great hospitality here.
 Talk thnt Homer Cummings may be summoned to head the new Democratic National Committee persists despite Cummings word Chat he E not reeep- tive. There is certain strateey in the idea. A Wilson Yankee leading tho campaign Of the Catholic Smith.
 For the Senate
 No one seems to be outstanding in the guessing as to who will run for the senate this year Lonergan of Hartford Is spoken of. but Spellacy, perhaps having L0nergan particularly in mind, Is understood to feel that the candidates for both governor and sen- ator should be Protestants this year with Smith heading the ticket.

The name of Governor Alfred Y. Smith was put in nomination at the Democratic national convention at Houston, Texas. last night. There is little doubt that he will receive the nomination today for there is an overwhelming majority of delegates intent upon naming him.
 Discord and strife appeared on the convention floor over religion and prohibition. Nominations were showed ahead of platform making at last nights session. Alabama gave way to Georgia and the name of Senator Walter r George of Georgia was the first put in nomination.
 Arizona, the next state on the roll call, yielded to New York and Govern or Smith was placed in nomination bA Franklin D. Roosevelt. A tumultuoui demonstration followed.
