Leary Reported
 Hiding On Ranch Near MexicanLin

Rumor No. 2567S to the effect that former City Controller Daniel J. Leary of Waterbury was in hid- ing on . Texas ranch near the Mexican border was circulated about Hartford today and Oc- casioned a comment from State Police Commissioner Edward J. Hickey.
 "The only thing can say is
 that Leary is still a fugitive from justice and we are looking for him." '
 The report concerning Leary being in Texas was heard several weeks ago and met with denial from the state police. TOday's latest rumor had It that the missing former official was en- toying life on . ranch and had an aeroplane on hand for imme- diate flight, if necessary.
 The former controller disap- peared from Waterbury on March 9th within Q few minutes after the state had denied his appeal for 2 new trial. He has since been at large. A S5O,O00 bond posted for his appearance by Mrs. Ellen Hayes, mother of former Mayor Frank Hayes, mya be declared forfeited unless Leary returns to Connecticut and starts his term in Wethersfield.

 Highways Is Explained
Biennial Report of Com. Cox Shows Advantages Gain- ed, Lower Maintenance Cost Through New Methods

group, but 27 per cent of this mile cage has been given drainage cor rection to permit the surfacing op- erations.
 The third group or roads have most of the acceptable features but have old fashioned high crowns. Work has been started on this group and about fifteen of the ninety miles in the class have been modern- ized. This work called for raising the edges of the roads and flatten- ing the crowns before applying the surface.
 The fourth classification inclueds all roads with 50 many unsatisfac- tory qualities that rebuilding seems the solution instead of the limited alterations given the other three groups.
 In summarizing his work In his report, Commissioner Cox wrote:
 By Q continuation of these pro- cedures this unsatisfactory part of our highway mileage should, within few years, be made adequate for the traffic on 1t, and be placed on a satisfactory maintenance cost basis, at a cpitl cost within our means and economically justifiable."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-04-09

Hartford, April 9-Low cost im- provement of Connecticut state highways by the application of stone surface or "armor coat" is explained in detail In the biennial report of State Highway Commissioner Will liam J. Cox. The report, in printed form was presented to the members of both houses of the General As- sembly yesterday. It had been sub- mitetd to the governor previously, in accordance with statutory require- ments.
 Reduced maintenance costs, the elimination of annual "oiling' for roads so improved, the creation Of non skid surfaces are among the benefits attributed to this type of pavement by Commissioner Cox. The savings In maintenance costs are made possible because stone surface has an indicated average life of six or more years. Compared with "oil- ing" costs stone surfacing pays for itself in four or five years.
 Forty-one percent of the gravel and Water-bound macadam roads in the state system, or total of 593 miles have been surfaced since the work was begun by the State Highway Department in the sum- mer of 1885. All of this mileage now has a surface of crushed stone rolled into a bed of bituminous binder, which not only adds strength to the road with one ap- nlication but increases the quali- ties of strength with succeeding coats.
 After experimental work In 1885 and l936, the program was expend- ed rapidly. In 1897 fifty miles were surfaced while work for the suc- ceeding summers was carried out as follows l50 miles. in 1888; 172 miles in 1889 and 230 miles in l940. It is proposed to add 200 miles a year for the next two years. The report explains the difference between the requirements for surface treatment alone on some roads and the neces- sityslty for extensive preparatory work on others. Prior to develop- ing the surfacing grogram, the State Highway Department divided the gravel and waterbound macadam roads into four groups or types
 Tn the first of these groups were the roads with good cross section or reasonably level surface, suitable grades, the absence of undue or dan- gerous curves, and adequate drain- age. These roads were the first to be improved since surface treat ment was all that was needed.
 The second group imposed only drainage problems. Progress on surfacing has been slower with this
