Trolley cars were held up for than
an hour and one trolley bound for
Derby from New Haven ran of the
track. Policemen helped in carry
ing women passengers through the

A spring on New Haven avenue
overfiowed and carried with it huge

heights that automobile travel was
impossible. The Naugatuck and
Housatonic rivers were both very
high but only the Housatonic over
flowed, inundating lower Caroline

VISITOR URGES
VALLEY BEAUTY
Natural Conditions Should
Be Preserved Says
New York Woman

The Valley IS losing sight Of its
most attractive and alluring points,
according to a letter from a north
ern visitor addressed to the local
chamber of commerce. The beauty
of it's plant live has been subjected
to the commercialism of towering
brick buildings" says this writer,
a woman and a resident Of Cooper
town, N. Y.
Apologizing for assuming such a
'dictatorial attitude" but declaring
it only shows here interest in the
Valley, the writer, who asks her
name not be published goes on to
say she hopes to make this section
her home before she dies. In part
her letter reads:

the many months Of the year that
we are leafiess and ~flowerlesS. We
can build brick buildings and con-
crete paVementS as well as YOU.
Notwithstanding the great sums
spent for such things in recent
years, our farming has gone to the
dogs and I note by a recent COM
mercial report that our state has
fallen behind this last year in per-
centage OF business Of all kinds.
when compared with the rest Of
the nation. This goes to show that
enormous investments in CONNER

department stores will not turn the
trick Of attracting outsiders to 8
state.
"You Vallevites have a wonderful
opportunity at your door. 1t lies in
the natural conditions that enable
YOU to make your. whole Valley a

Unrestricted Signs,
BiUboards Depress
Real Estate Values

America that has adopted stand
ards of practice that prohibits
members placing boards Or signs
where they interfere with the view
Of natural scenic spots. In addition
the association prohibits posters or
signs on rocks, trees, posts or
fences, and will not permit bill
boards or signs on streets facing
public parks where the surrounding
streets are residential. This asSo-
citation has also evolved regulations
covering the kind of boards its
members can use and existing
boards must be made to conform to
these standards within the next
five years.
Some organizations complain
that these standards even if fol-
lowed implicitly might not fully
meet the needs of the situation,
and not all outdoor advertisers are
members of this association.
ALSO not all the injury is done
by billboards. The great streams of
traffic that flow over our newly
made highways have brought many
'uglies. The roadside service sta
ticn. lunch stand and tourist camp
of the shack type have attracted
wide attention as destroyers OF
much of the pleasure to be derived
from highway travel as we'll as be-
ing a positive detrimenc to sur

OF these eating places and service
stations are attractive. well plan

shack is far from essential.
But perhaps the most serious in
