FAMILIAR ROUTE
NUMBERS CHANGED
State Highway Dept. An
nOunces Reassignments
After Traffic Study

Hartford. April 20 - The State
Highway Department has reassign-
ed route numbers on three state
highways making the new layout OF
numbers coincide with the normal
flow of trafiic on the roads con-
cerned. In announcing the change
today, State Highway Commissioner
william j. Cox said It followed the
departmental custom Of carrying a
route number ON its logical luca-
ton as indicated by checks ana
counts of trafEac using the route.
This Simplifies driving for all road
users. but especially for those who
depend almost entirely on route
markers to guide them.
Before the change was made the
trafflc on the three roads-Routes
Is, 81 and 1873 In Bridgewater.
BroOlfield and New Milford was
re-checked and It was determined
that the bulk of the users OF Routes
Dc and 81 were continuing their
trips on the lines established In the
new numbering.
The new lay out Of the routes Is.
as follows:
Route Is Is extended from Brook
field Center to Br0okfield, replacing
Route l33 on this section Of road.
Route Is then comedies with Route
US 2 until It reaches the junction
with the road into New Milford
center, at which point Route Is
turns easterly into New Milford and
continues toward EtchfieId un-
changed.

cent got down In fairly good con-
dition.
OF that 50 per cent perhaps 20
~per cent could be put into operation
again without too much difficulty.
Reconnaissance photographs have
shown Flying Fortresses on the
ground at German experimental air
fields.
The figure of 20 per cent as con-
ceivably capable OF being put into
use again is admittedly general and
perhaps high. 1t does not take into
account that the Fortresses have
their own system of self destruction
and. of course, it is not known here
in how many instances this has
been used effectively.
There also Is the possibility that
Fortresses landing IN an occupied
area will be smashed by local pa
triots in cases where our airmen
are unable to destroy them.
Then there would be the Nazis'
tremendous maintenance problem in
undertaking to use Fortresses in any
considerable number. 1t was esti-
mated that the Germans would re-
quire for the servicing of six Fort
resses a force comparable to what
We would require for so of them.
A Fortress has % mechanical,
electrical and allied systems to look
after and one expert declared that
it probably would actually be more
feasible for the Germans to throw
out the Fortress engines and try to
power the planes with their own
engines-itself a highly imprac-
ticable experiment.
