THE BARNESDALE ROUTE

Residents of Barnesdale are work ing for Barnesdale, and they have awakened to it's possibilities. They have begun advocating the construc- ton of second boulevard road to Plainville. through Barnesdale. be- cause it would help Barnesdale as we'll as being a public convenience in view of the crowded condition of the present Plainville highway. We have no doubt that in the course of time such a parallel route will be found necessary, and that the logical route will be through Barnesdale.
 We are rather Of the opinion that before that time arrives, however. the road from Steele street to Wooster street will be the first to be improved. Wooster street, in Barnesdale, is an improved street to the limits of Barnesdale. but then the improved nature of the street abruptly stops, although the street merges with the road which hurtles into Steele street after making a turn or so, going down and up few Sully-like grades. and then crossing the heights which command a view of tho Steele street development" in which is centered the new Lincoln school.
 Steele street is not improved along any of its length. not even in the center of the Steele street develop ment. That 1t needs the touches of moderntzation Is apparent to all: and that it Is one of the most logical de- velopments in these parts to make a real street of 1t to the extent of the mile or 70 through the present wood- ed section on top of the hill and be- yond. to the point where 1t meets Wooster street in Barnesdale, seems equally logical. although 1t does not seem customary for the city to con- struct streets before there is much contiguous development Such an im- proved street now would be of the nature of an improved country road and no doubt would spur develop ment, take traffic off the congested Platnvtlle road. and offer a good short cut to Corbin avenue and the other sections conveniently reached through this artery.
 The boulevard through Barnes dale to Plainville, which is talked about, roughly would parallel the present trolley line to Plainyille for Q considerable part of the distance. It would open tip section that now is devoted to woodlands and under- growth. passing close to the former White Oak park. It would be q grand development. but Barnesdale would have to interest others elsewhere 10 !; put 1t through. It will be put through some time. no doubt; and here is hoping that all of us will live long though 10 sec the day when it is done.

Smithsonian Funds to
Aid State Research

Washington. Aug. 10.-lP-State
and federal cooperation for ethno-
logical and archaeological research
among American Indians is being
sought by officials OF the Smith
sonian Institution.
The institution has available Z
$4,000 congressional appropriation
for use with sums appropriated by
the states for research work with
in their boundaries. AS each state
makes an appropriation for such
investigation, Secretary Charles G.
Abbot explains, the institution will
consider the undertaking and If 1t
finds the expenditure justified will
give an amount equal to the state
fund to carry the work forward.
Tennessee is the first state to
take advantage of the opportunity
thus offered. having Ren allotted
$4,000 out of the appropriation,
which became available July I.
