 May Remove DetOur
 Indications nov are that after thC first gnowgtogIn of tho season, tho detour for the Naugatuck- Water. bury road will be removed and north. bound trafslc will be permitted to gC straight on the regular highway, in. stead of taking the Prospect street. East Waterbury road detoiir, Warden Leo J. Brophy said today.
 An inspector of the state highway department notified the warden tc this effect yesterday by phone cali but the warden is awaiting ofilcia, notification from Edward 6. LAwlol chief of road consrtuctlon for the highway department, MT. Brophy said today.
 Mr. Lawlor had ordered three DO. licemen put on duty there to handle the detour, that lg one on each eight. hour shift, and it is expected that with the removal of the detour, serv- ices of these three policemen ct thh point will not be needed. The ,statC has been paying for them since tho detour went into effect.
 It is believed there are two pri- mary reasons for the removal of tho detoir. one is that the snowfall when it comes, will hamper further work on the main highway which iS being widened and otherwise i'm. proved. The second is that t would make hazardous travel over the de- tour road, which lS narrow.
 Although some residents in travel ing north have used the East Water. bury road detour, many have gone north on Spring street to PlattS Mills and then entered the main highway at 6 point north of where the iEn- provements are underway.
 eouth.bound trafflc has been per. mitted to 90 via the main highway and will continue to do 90.
