OPENING \ NEW ROAD

There has been much interest shown in Mcridcn and Cheshire re- garding the construction of the new state aid road between the two cit ics. The highway was formerly opened this week and what was once an unsatisfactory journey between the two cities now becomes a thing of ease and pleasure. The road is close enough to New Britain to be of local significance.
 Officials of both Mcridcn and Cheshire made q grand day of it when the new highway was officially opened. Their satisfaction is shared by others who intend 10 sec how good the road is at the earliest opportu- nity.
 Morid"n. thus showing an interest in better highways leading to that city, might now turn to the Cat Hole Pass road to New Britain. which has been authorized but never built.
