 macadam and is near completion.
 Both of the Thames river roads which join New London and Nor wich were repaved in part during 1928. On the west side on Route lo, a long stretch of several miles of new pavement was laid through Montville and Waterford. while shorter pieces in Preston and Led. yard were completed on the east bank Of the river. On the Hartford New London highway. about two miles of new paving improved the route through Colchester.
 The famed Boston Post road widening was made complete during the year with the exception of two stretches one in Milford and the other in Fairfield In addition to the work already mentioned between Milford and Devon. Armory Hill and North street in Norwalk were fln- ished with the addition of 5.2SS feet and 1.95s feet of concrete respec- lively. The widening at Compo Hill

The place the day holds in the routine of people who. through force of circumstances or because Of individual choice look forward to it from week to week to do with as they please. is be- lieved to be more important to the majority than any other single 24- hour period on the calendar.
 Inquiry among clergymen brings the information that New Britain residents as whole are as devoted to their religious obligations as those in the average city Of the same size. and many men and women make it a practice never to be absent from Sunday services if it ts at all possible for them to attend. There are some who are punctual and consistent. not only to the extent of fulfilling what they please to consider their obliga- tions. but by shouldering more than their share Of the burden of carry. ing on and supporting in every way possible all the activities of their congregations. Consequently. the greater portion Of the Sabbath finds them in church. the weather and th, season Of the year notwithstanding
 Sunday motoring claims its share of attention in New Britain. and not a weekend from April 10 October passes without witnessing a steady parade out of the city and into the thoroughfares leading to the seaside. This form of observance Of the first day Of the week Is on the increase much to the satisfaction of automo- bile dealers and the firms specializ- ing in accessories. Towards autumn. the Sunday traffic naturally iessens. although there are many drivers who prefer 10 make long trips after La-

 In New Britain are thousands of Sunday readers. according to author ities familiar with the demands on the newsstands and the library Of the New Britain Institute. Summer and winter. this class lays up a store Of reading for the weekend, some spC cializing in articles and works of varying degrees Of literary worth. and others casting about through maze Of fiction. Thou sands of newspaper readers spend the greater part of the Sabbath sur rounded with sections of their fav- orite publications, devouring all the features from first page to back.
 The liberal policy Of the govern ing powers Of the city has made 1t possible for the public to enjoy ath- letic contests on Sunday. indoors and outdoors and all the games are well patronized. The Sunday motoring has cut into the attendance at base ball games, but the football and roll CT hockey attractions are well attend ed. as a rule.
 Among some club and lodge mem bers. Sunday is set aside for renew ing acquaintanceships, many men making 8 practice Of never visiting with their fraternal brothers during the week unless for special reasons. They look forward 10 the Sabbath for this form of pleasure. some Of them frequently giving up the en- tire afternoon or evening or both to thesindulgence of their liking for the company of their friends.
 Hiking through the woods and along country roads. while not as popular a form Of exercise and rec reation as it was some years ago, still has it's adherents. as trip afoot almost any Sunday afternoon will prove The distric, about Shuttle Meadow has many trails that appeal to the lovers of the outdoors. and the section beyond Pennington also is familiar ground for many. Occa sionally. bicyclist is encountered on some Of the back roads, but very seldom on any of the main highways, probably because of the dangers at- tendant on the great increase in the traffic along the smooth concrete stretches.

STATE HIGHWAYS
 GREATLY ALTERED
11o Sections Of Road Repaved
 During Year 1928

Connecticut's highway map was changed in 110 different places dur ing the calendar year of 1928. &C., cording 'o the state highway depart ment figures representing the lay ing of BIO miles of new pavement both on trunkline system and state aid roads. In by far the larger percentage of these changes. the alterations were on important sec- tions of the states highway network and the coming motoring season will find Connecticut's arteries of trans- portation In better condition than ever before 70 accommodate the needs Of traffic.
 Some few sections Of the work begun during the past year still re- mained uncompleted as far as the statistics of the highway depart ment are concerned. but this nere- ly means that the work has not been officially accepted as complete by the department. In practically all cases, the only work remaining to be done is that of building up and hardening the shoulders of the roads and as far as the motorist is con- cerned they are finished. None of the jobs begun last year areN closed to traffic at the present time.
 Work Near New Haven
 Of the more important highway jobs finished during the year there were many on roads in the New Haven and Danbury vicinities. Every highway leading into New Haven with one exception was under con- structon during the year. On Route 114 from New Haven to Middle town. more than lives miles of concrete were laid through North Haven and North Branford. thus completing the work finished on the Middletown end of the road i'll 1927. A stretch of 1000 feet of concrete was laid on the Boston Post Road between Milford and Devon.
 The College Highway leading out Of New Haven through Hamden was paved with two and half miles Of concrete, and State street in Hamden part of the New Haven- Hartford direct route was paved with five miles of the same material. On the latter route concrete was also laid In stretches of 1869 feet and 9,75o feet in Wallingford and Meriden respectively. Almost an entirely new road consisting of nearly six miles of concrete was built on Route 147 through Wood- bridge connecting New Haven with the Waterbury road at Seymour. About two miles of the New Haven- Derby turnpike was paved at the latter end.
 New Route Through WOOdniont
 The shore road from New Haven
New Britain herald., 1929-03-02

to Milford. an auxiliary of the Post Road. was taken over partially new concrete route through 'Vood- mont. and an entirely new stretch of bituminous macadam carries the start of the same route more than two miles along the shore front in West Haven and through the Savin Rock summer amusement park. The latter is complete except for shoulders.
 In the Danbury section. the larg- est amount of work was done on Route 12S. connecting the city with New Milford and thence leading tp the northwestern section of the state. This job. 13 miles in length. was awarded under three separate contracts. The stretch in Danbury. 13,60O feet of concrete. and another through Brookfield of 27,376 feet third in New Milford of 2S,o42 feet have been completed. while the still requires the finishing touches. Another Danbury New Milford route through New Fairfield and Sher- man. consisting of four and a half miles of waterbound macadam. is also considered still under construc- ton.
 Ridgefield- Danlriry Ro,ad
 Two sections of the Ridgefielc- Danbury road which beings Route 3 across the state to Rhode Island and Providence were completed in concrete. The highway from Beth el concrete pavement. and Route 122 from Bridgeport which connects with Route at Newtown was im- proved with a similar stretch of concrete. Route 1o6 from Norwalk to Danbury received an addition of Branchville cutoff. Above Danbury. Route 132 between Canaan and Cornwall was almost entirely re- paved, and the two roads leading from Poughkeepsie to Great Bar rington through North Canaan and In the Waterbury sector, one of the most important grade elimina- ton projects in the states history was completed. This was the re- building of the famous Southington Mountain road leading from Water- bury to Milldale, the descent on the Southington side being carried over an entirely new path on a direct steady grade which replaces the former winding road and varied grade with its dangerous turns. This required $500 feet Of concrete with wide macadam shoulders.
 A. similar task is nearing comple- tion on the road between Bristol and Thomaston. the so-called Ply mouth Hill route. The once danger ous grades and turns of this road have been eliminated more than five miles of concrete having re- placed the former macadam. The project Is practically completed. Hartford and Middletown roads leading in many directions were placed under construction during the year and nearly all Of the pro- jects have been finished except for the final work Of building up the shoulders. Route 17 which leads through West Hartford to Winsted and by joining Route 12S also to

Hartford and Middletown were placed under construction during the year. The west side road from Cromwell through Rocky Hill and Wethersfield has been completed and only shoulder work remains to be done on the section of the east side road from Portland to Glaston- bury. Both of these stretches are Of concrete and are about five miles in length.
