Pre§ident Frederick L. Lamson will

which will attend the hearing to be
held by the Public Utilities Commis-
sion at. the City Hall, next week, on
the trolley fare matter. This was an-
thorized by a vote of 'the Kiwanis
club. at the request of MayOr Calvin
1.. Barton at the usual weekly lunch-
eon held at the ROVal James today.
State Highway Commissioner Chas.
Bennett was the speaker of the after—
noon, he talking about the construc-
tion of new highway and the re-con—
ditioning of the old highways.
In the State of Connecticut there
are approximately 12,000 miles of
rural highways. of which but only 1.-
600 miles have been put into condition
in the past. twenty years. Of this 1.-
000 miles 994 were trunk lines and
the remainder branch lines.
The highway problems of the state
are an endless problem. Mr. Bennett
stated. and the roe-conditioning of
roads was the one that was most vex-
ing.
There are 730 miles of inferior type
of roads that need replacement, and
the cost of this will be approximately
work which must be done is 80 miles.
and to do this would cost about $2,
400. 000. 1 ‘01!-
The amount of money available for
this is but $800. 000 at the present
time Mr. Bennett_ said. . The increase
" motor vehicle tees in the State will
provide about $500,000 more for the
department next year. he said.
Mr Bennett recommended the con-
structing of a parallel road from Port
Chester, N. Y., at the state line to
New Haven 1th the Boston Post
Road.“ This would care for the pres-
ent traffic as well as the increase in
traffic that will come. Contrary: to
the general impression. ,‘Mr Bennett
said. the gasoline tax does not go to
the highway department. but "directly
to the state treasury amid: thus not
available. , L . ,
There is about 100,000 pleasure
cars in the State of Connecticut, which
cost'on an average fof‘ 51.0.00 each and
about $100 yearly is spent on each of‘
these for repairs. Compared to the
amount available for highway pur-
poses. the latter was trivial, ~
In closing Mr. Bennett made a-plea
for patience with the Department as
he said everything could not be done
at once for several reasons. lack of
money. the amount 01! territory to be
covered and the fact that the roads
practically all of them need attention.
