New State Highways
 To Serve Waterbury
City Linked With Important Developments in Nauga-
 tuck VaIIey-State, Government Studying Plans

Definite action towards providing an adequate and modernized motor route up the Naugatuck Valley and linking the important industrial centers of Waterbury and Bridge port is provided in a $s,5oo,oo0 sup pelmental highway construction program given approval at Hartford yesterday by Governor Raymond E. Baldwin.
 More than $1,000,000 of this amount will be spent in improving existing highways between the two cities, believed to be an important step in this states contribution to- wards national defense.
 Intense Activity
 Coming so soon after the an- nouncement that Congressman J.. Joseph Smith had petitioned the WPA at Washington to set aside $2,0O0000 for a new bridge over the Housatonic River between Derby and Shelton this ambitious highway department program indicates that this section of the state will be scene of intense roadway activity for the next year or so.
 In addition to the million to be spent throughout the valley and on the Shelton -Trumbull road, an ad- ditional $120,000 is scheduled to be spent on highways coming within the Waterbury area and of vital 1m- portance as secondary or bypass routes. The railroad trestle over the Whittemore road just outside of Union City will be eliminated at cost of $20,000 The uncompleted section of the Straits Turnpike from the end of the Park road in Middle bury to Adt's Switch Watertown, will be paved, the cost to be $l00,- 600.
 Completion of this latter project will permit motorists approaching Waterbury from Watertown to by pass the city completely on hard surfaced highways.
 Naugatuck Valley
 The valley road between Water bury, Naugatuck and Beacon Falls has $525,ooo set up for necessary improvements. While this work has not yet been designated State High way Commissioner William J. Cox in the past has intimated that the roadway will be widened and re- surfaced. Plans to utilize the former trolley right of way, where possible, are also contemplated.
 The Shelton -Trumbull roadway, one of the heavily-traveled routes between. Waterbury and Bridgeport, will provide modern Emile ap- proach to the Merritt Parkway at the Nichols crossing. The present highway is narrow and winding in parts and only the Shelton and Nichols ends boast concrete surfac- ing.
 These improvements at both ends of the important Waterbury Bridge port linking route should not only speed up travelling time between the two industrial centers, but remove
