NEED FOR NEW
 ROAD PROVEN
Fatality Monday Proof That Work on Proposed
 Highway Is Essential
BEACON FALLS Correspondent Wm. J. Baxter
 Phone Naugatuck S945

Beacon Falls, Feb. 1.-The fatal accident Monday afternoon on the Beacon Falls-N -Naugatuck road, where Mrs. Walter H. Painter of Water bury was killed in an auto crash, is taken by some as further proof that work on new proposed high way from Beacon Falls to Nauga- tuck should be hastened.
 This road has many curves anc twists, is narrow in number o1 spots and even for "safe and sane driver, it is sometimes difficult te travel safely in icy weather.
 The chances for accident on this highway are immeasurably in- creased when driver attempts to hit very fast pace, as some do. An other thing which could easily cause accidents is the attempt by some to pass on the curves. Frequently traf- fic is slowed down and there are a number of cars in back of one or two trucks. If traffic in the opposite direction is heavy, it is sometimes impossible to pass on the straight aways and occasionally impatient drivers take a chance and pass on a curve.
 They are usually fortunate but occasionally an accident results from this. If the road We're generany straighter, there might be consider. ably less of this hazard. Widening of the road would also help.
