AVOIDING CITIES

Time was when the cities of the
state we're pleased at having trunk
line highways pass through them.
Most Of the important trunk
lines the country over. by the way,
pass through cities en- route. Cities
fought for the privilege of being on
the routes of the big highways.
New It 10 the object OF the state
highway commission to separate a.
many trunk highways from the cities
~ possible. Even Plainville 10 hopes
full that the state will take over East
street and make 1t q part Of the COL
iege highway. thus shunting the
highway from the center of the
town. And the merchants, 70 far ~
we are able to Judge, are not object
ing. Indeed. they seem to favor. tho
plan.
The same holds true of New Haven
and Bridgeport, especially the latter
city. which used to be an incubus for
those en- route by automobile to New
York. Driving through congested
city, and being confronted with stop
and go signals every few feet. taken
all the JOY out of the trip.
And what good does it do mer-
chants to have foreign" cars help
clutter up the main streets? None at
all. When 1t IL time to eat the visit
ors will know how to find a restau-
rant anyway; when it is time to
sleep they invariably find a hotel
and all towns along the route have
an equal chance for the business re.
gardless of whether the trunk high.
way goes through the business center
or around it.
