 RAILROAD GIVES RIGHT
Monthly Meeting Of Visiting Nurse Committee This Esening-Funer- al Of Ignatz Nekca-New Bowling League starts Tunight-Notcs.

The real estate and right of way department of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com- pany has granted an easement to the Connecticut state highway de- partment to build a 12 inch tile drain on the property of the com- pany near the railroad underpass. The purpose of the highway depart- ment in installing the drain is to carry off water which gathers under the bridge during ::t,rmy weather. For years the condition of the road under the bridge has caused much discussion especially by visitors passing through town. The water in stormy weather. forms under the bridge about Q foot deep and often renders the road useless as a means of travel. During the light snow storm last December autos were un- able to travel under the bridge with out being stalled. Buses and private ly owned vehicles were forced to de- tour, throwing the buces on scHd- ule. When the new highway was built attention was paid to the drains under the bridge and it was thought that the evil had been eliminated. After the first rainy period the water nuisance remained as before.
 The attempt to eliminate the drainage troubles under the bridge will be difficult and the tile drain will be more or less of an experi- ment. A survey of the spot where the drain will be placed has been made and a blue print of tho plan has been received by the town clerk. The state department has not an- nounced the date when operations will be started.
 Meeting Tonight
