The pids were opened at the oce of tho state highway commissioner yesterday and the Waterbury contractors hg- lire of. $72,939 was the only one suhn1itted. This section of the highway includes 6,20O feet of re- inforced concrete extending from Homer street to the southern end of the present state highway at Fort hill. The same concern has already been awarded the contract for the section from West Main street to Homer street. It is plan ned to start work on tho first sec lion just as soon as the weather mod crates sufficiently to permit or efficient highway construction ana it is assumed that work on poth projects will be pushed simuitan- cously to complete the work as quickly as possible so that the great volume of traffic which nor n1ally used the important trunk highway artery during the summe, season may UOI Dc iiSO"'
 over too long q period.
 At last nights meeting of the hoard of commissioners of public works. a communication was re- cieyed from a resident of Faber avenue. requesting that the estap- lished layout and grade of the street be completed from water vile street to Cooke street. The r1etition pointed out that at some lime during the past few years the work was to have been done but was blocked by protests of some nroperty owners on the street. He added that practically all other streets in the Faber hill section had beerl put, to grade and empha- sized the fact that Faber avenue carries a greater proportion of traffic. The hump" in the street opposite the Whiting property was Indicated to be particularly haz- ardous and it's elimination sug- gested.
 The communication suggested that the job might be made 2 CWA project to be carried out with gov crninent funds. It was pointed out by tke members of the board tnat if the job were completed us CWA project the city had no rlgn' to waive the assessments on prop erty owners on that street since such assessments are legally re- uuired. Commissioner Dubois in' dicated that several property own CTS on the street had stated tha' they were unwilling to favor th' improvement at this time if It m, voived payment of layout ant grade assessmerts and suggested that the matter be tabled unti taxpayers would be peter able t meet the expense. It is probable that some relief may be given II the elimination of the hazard re ferred to as soon us warmer weath CT arrives.
