City Engineer Philip A. Merian confer with State Highway Commits sioner John A. Macdonald in an cf- fort to hasten work on the alternate state highway through Stanley Quarter and to receive a report on the progress being made in grade crossing elimination.
 Commissioner Macdonald was here several months ago for field survey. He conferred with city of- ficiails at that time, took with him maps. sketches and statistics and gave encouragement of early action. No report has been received since, however.
 The new highway, designed 10 eliminate curves and street intersec- tions, will be | continuation of Hill crest avenue. having its northerly terminal north of Qiflette's corner. Besides removing traffic hazards. the highway will shorten the trip to Hartford.
 The grade crossings in which the city Is interested are those at East and Allen streets and at South street. An overhead bridge at the former site and an underpass at the latter are in contemplation. If the highway plan is executed. the entire cost will be borne by the state, the city taking over the stretch of the present state highway which extends from Allen street to Gillette's corner. It is expected that the railroad grade crossing elimina- ton costs will be borne equally by the city, state and the railroad com pany. ..-
