 Work Started On CuhcTt
 Cosmo Nacca and q crew Of work men, under sub-cOntract to Ihc l.. Suzio Construction company of Mer- iden, have started work on the new cuIvcrt to be erected in Park street 10 care for excess water from Tal- madgc brook, which passes beneath the street in the immediate vicinity of the Talmadge garage. Excavations have been begun and will run directly across the high way. As soon as the men reach the rnnnSifn n half G hI ic pected that autom obilc traffic will be diverted into Divinity stree. City officials desire to have the work fin- I ished before winter sets in. The tube now resposins under the concrete thoroughfore has failed to give the least satisfaction. Almost every time rainstorm sweeps the city everything in the southern sec lon goes under water because of the poor cuIvert. The culvcrt was built by the state highway department when Park street was accepted as state road but has always caused considerable trouble. Heavy rains clogged the tube and forced the water 10 flow out into Park street ! Nlib upN II St4Ool lo iliulludlG III and sometimes even the boulevard. An elimination of these conditions IS expected when the new culvert is | finished.
