SETTLEMENT MADE
in PENDING SUITS
Action Against Casualty

Two cases were withdrawn from
the docket of the court of common
pleas today, one suit by James j.
Moran against the Commercial Cas-
ualty Insurance Company, and the
other by Anna Della Bella against
the National Chair Company, and
others.
Moran had sought an attachment
Of $4,000 from the insurance COM
pany, which, he claimed, had never
recompensated him for the payment
of various medical, surgical, and
hospital fees amounting to 1880
which were covered by his accident
and health policy with the COM
pany. He suffered the accident on
December Is, 1888, and was totally
and partially disable for some time
theseafter.
In the second suit, the plaintiff
claimed that a car owned by hel
was being driven east on Merider
road on June 18th, well on its owr
side of the road, when a truck
owned by the National Chair Com.
pany and driven by Max Green.

No Willkie Clubs Organized In Waterbury
Highway Department
Tries Virginia Plan
First Experimental Work in New Road Construction
Completed Near Colchester; Advisor Loaned State

Hartford, July 25.-The first ex-
perimental work on one method
which is being considered for the
modernization of high-crowned
roads has just been completed by
the state highway department.
Three miles Of Route 2, just east Of
the center Of the town of Colchester
have been resurfaced with crushed
stone and asphalt, using technique
new to Connecticut Paving on the
Travelled way is completed but there
remains some work to be done on
the shoulders.
In announcing its completion,
State Highway Commissioner Will
liam j. Cox pointed out that one of
the important features Of the work
was the installation of a wedge
course Of stone and bituminous ma
terial on eacn side of the road be-
fore the actual surfacing operations
are undertaken. This wedge course
raises the edges of the road to q
level approximating that Of the
crown and eliminates the shortcom-
mgs of the older style road with
its high center.
The materials are applied on what
is known as mixed in place"
basis - that is, they are mixed
on the surface of the road they
are to cover. The particular meth
DDS used in this Colchester job are
new to Connecticut, Commissioner
Cox said, but they are based upon
a system that has been found to be
especially successful in Virginia.
A part of the road was retreaded
using the identical plan pursued in
Virginia, while the balance was
treated under notifications devel-
oped by Connecticut highway engi-
neers, to meet the different condi-
tions prevailing in this state. Aside
from the reduction of the crown
economies have ben effected in the
cost of mixing materials.
The Surface, which will be the
same in Connecticut as in Virginia
is said to be comparatively quiet
and to furnish exceptional riding
