Crops Taking On
New Life as Rain
Helps in Section

Crops in this section are taking on
new life and showing signs of over
coming part of the growth lost and
the damage done by the recent pro-
tracted dry season. Rains of last
week brought out tagging tobacco
cotton and corn, and also gardens
and showers of Sunday evening were
about of .sufficiency proportions, in
those sections that shared them, to
augment the previous rains There is
little likelihood that there will be any
thing like the production originally
ndcated, but favorable seasons from
now on would probably mend the
quality of the yield considerably, it
is believed.
The outlook has improved very ma
terially in the past few days. Grass
is growing as fast as the crops are,
but grass can be overcome more
easily than dry weather conditions,
and a more hopeful attitude is taken
by growers generally now.

Among those expected to speak at the meeting are States Attorney General Edward Daly, and representatives of the state police mad of the state department of mo- tor vehicles.
 One of the most important top- ics of discussion, according to Supt. Roach, will be the adoption of a uniform system of traffic regulation such as has been proposed by the National Safety council.

Contracts To Be Let
 For Roads On June 8
Sealed Bids Receivable Until Then-Berlin Turnpike
 Widening Project Included

1885, which calls for the widening of the Berlin Turnpike, U. s. Route No. s, over @ 2,900-foot stretch in the Town of Newington by the re- moving, of the familiar stone retain ing walls that because they limit the width of the road have become 8 traffic hazard on this important New Haven Hartford route.
 Concerning this project, the ofl- cial notice to contractors" advise contractors of the following new regulations: "The minimum rates of wages to be paid to the different grades of labor on the above pro- ject project shall be as follows: u1- skilled labor, 50 cents per hour; in- termediate grade labor, 60 cents per hour; skilled labor, 75 cents per hour. The minimum rates of wages to be paid labor of the various clas- sificationS shall be in accordance with the current schedule of wages established by the labor board, State of Connecticut, as provided in Chapter 31l, Public Acts of 1885, en- titled An Act Concerning the Es- tablishment of @ prevailing rate of wages on road and bridge work by the state,' but in no case less than the minimum shown above for the different grades of labor"
 These rates will prevail upon sub- sequent jobs on the Works Program unless altered by federal author ities. Employment on these new type projects will, as is the case with the rest of the jobs, be entire- ly in the hands of the successfully bidding contractors, the highway department itself having nothing to do with the hiring of labor other than to see that the federal and state regulations are observed.
 The other projects included in this letting are two State Projects, 0 pipe installation job in East Ha- ven and macadam paving job in New Fairfield; four town aid pro- jects, calling for gravel surfacing of several roads in Canton, New Fair field, Simsbury and Southbury; and three PWA projects, entailing ma cadam paving on various streets in Derby and one road in Putnam, and q concrete pavement on two streets in New Canaan.
