 Considerable dissatisfaction has been expressed locally with the lay out of the recently completed Bris- tcl-Terryville road. particularly at the foot of Shovel Shop hill on what is known as Fitzpatrick's curve. This point has been the scene of many accidents in past years and since the completion of the new strip of pavement there have been several accidents, many of which were ser- ious enough to send persons to the hospital for treatment. Only last Sunday evening two cars figured in a collision at that point because the driver moving easterly approached the curve at a speed which necessi- tated his veering to his left. AS re- suit one car was overturned and one driver was sent to the hospital with two broken ribs. Several months ago a second car overturned on the curve and caught fire, the two oc- cupants narrowly escaping death.
 The curve presents no difficulties to the driver proceeding toward Ter ryville, 1t is pointed out, because of the upward incline, but the autoist proceeding easterly is apt to reach the point at an excessive rate of speed unless he applies his brakes frequently to slow up his car. The adverse situation, it is understood, was discussed at the time the road was constructed but no solution was found because of the fact that the trolley tracks run close to the south side of the highway.
 The only step to be taken now to reduce the number of accidents at this point. in the opinion of many local residents. is to erect speed re- striction signs at both approaches, and it is possible that such action , may he taken by the state highway and city officials.
