 For New York bound trafic sev- eral existing routes will be available from Putnam via Hartford and Danbury, via Willlmantic, Middle town and New Haven, via East Hartford and New Haven and via Willimantic, Middletown and Dan bury. The line of the Merritt High way in southwestern Connecticut has not been definitely, established but when it is constructed 1t will un- doubtedly offer a fast route avaid- ing New Haven and the congested centers on the shore route and con- meeting with the Hutchinson River Parkway in Westchester county, New York.
 The section of the Hutchinson River Parkway from Westchester avenue in Port Chester to the Connecticut line was recently opened. Port Chester may now be avoided by turning right at Green wiclr to Glenville, Connecticut thence to the Hutchinson River Parkway. Coming from the east turn right into Greenwich on Lake avenue and shortly turn left on Glenville road to Glenville. then follow Ridge avenue to the Park way.
 With the recent opening of the Henry Hudson Drive in New York good route avoiding all congestion is available to the George Washing ton Bridge or the Holland Tunnel This is reached by following the Hutchinson River Parkway to the Cross County Parkway. Turn right on the Cross County Parkway tc the Saw Mill River Parkway. Turn left on the Saw Mill River Parkway which runs into the Henry Hudson Drive. The Henry Hudson Drive then runs into Riverside Drive which. may be followed to the George Washington Bridge. For the Holland Tunnel continue on River side Drive to 73rd street.

Tentative plans for a new con- meeting road which will constitute a ueW fast route from Boston to New York City with an estimate saving of % miles, is under consideration by the highway. departments of Connecticut and Massachusetts. The highway department of the Bay state has already started work on the plans for the proposed road and negotiations are now under way with the Connecticut highway au- taaOrities to construct connecting link in that state.
 The route as tentatively planned VIII start from U s No. at point ttast north of Norwood, Mass, and then will run southweSterly par aIlelfng present route 109, but over anew right of way avoiding all pop ul0uS centers such as Milford. It will cross the present route l26 south of Hopedale. MaSSs and proceed over a new right of way avoiding Ux- bridge and Douglas to the Connec- ticut line.
 At present the road between Ux- bridge, Mass, and Thompson, Conn.,, is llnimproved, therefore if an agreement can be consummated with Connecticut the initial step will probably be the improvement of the road between these two points, a ' distance of about 16 miles. Con- struction from the vicinity of Ux- bridge to U. s. No. near Norwood will, follow. If arrangements can be made to improve the Thompson Uxbrtdge stretch this will open the new route in a very short time for it will offer a good connection to existing routes.
 In addition to offering new facil- ities for through traffic the new route will enable residents of east sfn Connecticut to easily reach Boston and the South Shore. At present residents of that part of Connecticut must go to Providence or follow a circuitous route via sWconsocket for South Shore points. The new route when completed will give an easy and fast connection to Route 128, which taps all South Shore highways. It will also enable residents of eastern Connecticut to

There will be several other ad- miniStration suggestions and bills of lesser importance to come before the same committee.
 Republican Bills
 Bills introduced by the repqbli- can party provide for the use of voting machines in all primary elec- tionS providin gthe plan be awarded the approval of per cent of the electorate; another to provide for sealed bills on all city contracts where the amount involved is more. than $1,000, another would establish definite ito be made" list among the unregistered voters of the city who have become eligible.
 The principal bill introduced by Senator Culhane provides that whenever selection of chief or deputy chief of the police depart ment or chief and deputy chief of the fire department be appointed, those particular persons receiving the appointments shall have served with their respective departments for period of time not to be in excess of 10 years. The other Gull hane bill of importance suggests a pension fund for Dora Egan, town clerk of Waterbury.
 Women on Juries
 When in the senate today the right for women to serve as jurors was granted for the first time in the history of the state, Senators Joseph H. Lawlor and George T. Culhane were among those who voted with the majority. Also taking the important in the success of the voting were Senators Anthony Tu- lesca of Torrington, and Frank Mo- Dermott of West Haven, whose dis trict covers important territory sur- rounding this city which includes Prospect, Wolcott, Cheshire and. Naugatuck.
 Among those who voted against passage of the bill were Senators John A. Lynch of Winsted, Senator Joseph Cooney and Senator Robert Claffey also of Hartford.
 Newspaper Bill Unfav0rable The Judiciary committee of the State Legislature voted ,nfsvorably today on the passage of bill in- troduced by Senator George T. Gull hane of Waterbury and Represen- tative c. Hungerford of WatertcWn granting newspaper men and wo- men immunity from revealing their sources of information in court roonis or elsewhere, and granting prutectory rights over those news sources. This bill was strongly sup: ported by members of the Water bury Newspaper guild.
 Libel Laws
 The Judiciary committee met to- day to continue a hearing which began yesterday concerning the right of individuals to sue newspa- pers for libel if in the event the articles are proven to contain no malicious reports. The bill was op- posed by several State publishers yesterday, and today 1t was learned on good authority that there may be several ammendments to the. state libel laws. which would not make the bill introduced by Sem ator LaWlor so drastic.
