ND EARLY ACTION
 ON CAT HOLE ROAD Macdonald Implies No Paving
 Will Be Done This Year WOULD BE SHORT ROUTE
Accepted Some Time Ago, No Pro- vision For Paving Highway Has Been Made-Grange Outing Tues day Eyening-Legion Meeting.

Action on the paving of the Cat Hole Pass road between henslngton and Meriden will not be started ms wear. according to a statement made by Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald. There have been s2N- eral rumors that work will be start ed on the paving soon. but MT. Mac donald, when asked about the mat ter, stated that he knew nothing or it and implied that there would oe nothing done about it this year.
 If the road were paved and put III such a condition that the heaVv truck traffic could use this way or getting to Meriden and thus through to New York. traffic conditions on the Hartford -Meriden road would be greatly improved. It is recognized fact that many of the accidents oc- curing on the road are the result of cars attempting to pass slow trai- Hc or trucks. If the trucks were able 10 use road such as the Ca' Hole road through Berlin, pleasure cars would be able to make better time and have clear road.
 The Cat Hole road was accepted some years ago by the state and al that time it was thought that IL would be paved soon. The road Of fers a good way and a direct route 10 Meriden, and in Meriden con- tinues past Hanover Park, coming onto the New Haven road just north of the famous Dead Mans under rass in Wallingford. The road can be approached through New Britain by Arch street or through kenslns- ton by the way of the American Paper Goods company.
 At the present time the road Is ot dirt and in some places has cover ing of tar. It is used to some extent by drivers but is not used by trucks as the grades on the hills are toe step for them and the rough road would be disastrous to the heavily loaded vehicles.
