 With the advent of spring and the l work or placing city streets and
 state aid highways in condition for l the summer Bristol residents are | eNincins considerable interest in 1 inc proposed improvements to Ter ! ryfllie avenue, During the winter l this matter was discussed by both
 city and state officials and at that tune tho powers connected with the state highway department expressed the opinion that a sizeable sum would be available for the extension Of the state aid roads ill the city to include Pennington avenue at least | as far as the Tcrryvillc town line and possible as far as Bulhead street, Tcrryville to connect with the present state road. With this idea 1 in view the city council has included
 Tn this years budget the sum of S11, ,0oo, to cover Bristol's portion of
 the expense.
 The converting Of Terryville av- "nue into a state aid road has been advocated strongly during the past i two years, not only by Bristol resi- dents but also by persons residing in Terryville. Thomaston. Torring-
 ton and Waterbury. If the work is
 done this year. a direct route will be afforded autoists residing in Terry vile and points west from that town to Hartford. The opening Of the new state highway from the Bristol town line to the state road leading from Flainville to Pennington has given Bristol people a direct route to the Capital City and at the same time reduces the distance by about five miles over the Forestville Plainville route.
 When the matter Of connecting this city and Terryvillc with a state aid road via Terryville avenue was preached to city officials. they en- dorsed the proposal for the reason that it would tend to decrease the amount of traffic now using School and Park streets and the Memorial boulevard. IL is understood that Mayor w. Raymond Crumb will ham, de the matter shortly with the state I highway department with view of | having the work started early in the summer
