Highway Dept Makes
 Speed Test Mileages
Motorists Can Check Speedometers Over Measured Mile
 Lengths in Each County

the marking of mile lengths may prove temptation to the more reckless class of motorists to de- termine how fast in minutes and seconds they can negotiate the stretch. Therefore, authorities will maintain constant vigilance to pre- vent any such activity and to ar the safety of himself and of the occupants of his own and other cars.
 Test mileage has already been es- tablishcd and posted in Hartford, New Haven, Litchfield and Holland counties. In Hartford County, the measured distance is located on the Berlin Turnpike short distance south of the road which leads to Newington. The New Haven Coun- ty stretch is on the Milford Turn pike just west of the road leading to Orange Center. In Litchfield Coun- ty, the speedometer test may be at Harris Plains, while the Holland County stretch is on the Crystal Lake Road near the cemetery in the town of Holland.
 Test mileage will be established in the other counties as follows: New London County. on U. s. Route No. 1, west of Mossbroker's Corner in Waterford; Fairfield County. on U. S. Route No. z. between Norwalk and Danbury; Windham County, on Route No. 12, somewhere be- tween Norwich and Putnam: Mid- dlesex County, on Route No. To-. somewhere between Middletown and Saybrook. Exact location of the test mileage will be announced in each of these counties as soon as they can be established.

Naugatuck, April 28.-.Representa- tive Hugh w. Burns, democrat of this borough, whos- has consistently fought against measure In the pres ent session of the assembly that he believed were not for the best in- terests of the people in general. has started another turmoil in the legis- lative confines of Hartford. The bor- ough representative comes out as a conscientious objector to the practice that has been in vogue in Hartford for years on the last day of the ses- sion of the assembly when every body joins in, a great big holiday and jamboree in honor of the event.
 Representative Burns is very much opposed to the democratic members joining with the republicans of the present session on. the last day in making gala the closing session. It is customary also at this session to honor the leaders of the legislature with tokens of appreciation. M
 The borough representative wants the democratic members of the as- sembly to hold their own celebration and allow the republicans to do like- wise. His attitude is that, during the present session, the democratic mem bers have been continually reb<ffed and ridiculed by the g. o. D. leaders. Why then should the democratic members be so foolish, he asked, as to join in festivities 1auding the very ones who have trampled them un- der foot since the opening of the session in January. 1 es

 in New Haven,
ASKS INJUNCTION

An injunction restraining the de- fendant from manufacturing, and selling a. cleansing fluid similar to that produced by the Waterbury firm Is asked in civil action in- stituted in the superior court yes- terday by the Star Water Manufac- turing company of Waterbury against James Pazarelli and Frank Gogli of New Haven.
 The complaint alleges the plaintiff company acquired all rights last June. In 1924 Emil Archambault, who had been manufacturing the fluid, entered into an agreement with the plaintiff under which the plain tiff was permitted to manufacture and sell the cleaning fluid known as "Star Water". The plaintiff in ad- dition to the injunction also asks that the New Haven men pay over all profits made by them from the cleaning fluid which is alleged to inn itate the local product.

"Is my speedometer accl

"Is my speedometer accurate?"
 That is an age-honored question which Connecticut and visiting mo- torists will be able to answer to their own satisfaction during the coming summer, according to an way Commissioner John A. Macdon- aid.
 The highway department is now in the process of accurately meas uring and of definitely marking one mile of state road in each of the eight counties in Connecticut. When the job is completed, motor- ists will be able to check their speedometers over these one mile stretches with ease.
 The driver will record the read ing of his speedometer at the start ing marker of the stretch and will read it again at the finish.
 The speedometer should register exactly one mile. If it registers more than one mile, the motorist immediately knows that his speedo- meter Is slow that is to say that his car will always be travelling faster than his miles-per-h reg ister indicates. In this case, he should determine for himself mathe- matically just how much allowance he should make in his speed to in- sure safe driving. If the speedo- meter shows less than one mile, the opposite holds true and the opera tor may determine mathematically what allowances he may make for his miles-per-hour indicator.
 The driver should proceed over the measured distance at a steady pace, keeping well to the right hand adpn of fhe naVemert tO allow nj or cars to pass. Other cars should not be passed since turning out will spoil the test.
 The speed at which a car travels over the measured one mile stretch will not affect the test in any man. ner whatsoever, but Commissioner Macdonald points out that neither state nor loca lpolice will tolerate timing" tests. It is realized that
