' 0f the New England states, Con- nectiout nuke third in the amount of good pavement. according to a well illustrated report of the state highway gygtem just released by the department. This state is on the whole better equipped with road highways than the average for New England and its . proportionate amount of cement concrete and pavements of enduring types are both higher than that average. The state r nits below Rhode Island and Massac usetts for paved roads. hav- ing a higher proportion of gravel thoroughfares. Connecticut. with the high taxes impeded upon motorists. may expect better service than those of other states and the department is plan- ning to satisfy by undertaking a tremendous program of work from now to 1930. the survey states. Entitled To Service "There are few states in which the tax payment per vehicle is as great." it reads "and few, therefore. in which the motor vehicle owners more justly lay claim to adequate highway service. “To supply such service the high. way commissioner estimates that it will be necessary to rebuild nearly 1.300 miles of the state system by 1930." To 1923. the end of the period surveyed. only its miles had been reconstructed by 1913. it continues. It will be necessary therefore to augment the funds now at the dis- posal’of the department, and the commissioner is of tho opinlpn that to do this by asking more than a small proportion of the money from the now overburdened ‘motorists would be to prpvoke serious resist- ance. ‘ With.tha one cent tax laid on gasoline in 1921 and later raised to two cents on the gallon. and the in- creasedlicense revenues at the some time. the department now pays more than 70 per cent of its gross ex- penses. The amount becomes 90 per cent of the not expenses after de- duction of refunds from the towns where work is done. In 1924. the last year totalled in the report. 81.- 071.508 was raised in the taxes on gasoline alone. ‘The work in this state. undertaken“ by Lstate department earlier than in most states, is divided by the au- thorities in two periods. From 1835 to 1911 the department was con- cerned mostly in pioneering. From 1913 on it has been doing actual de-J veiopnient work. Through this period many serious drawbacks have. “1min hampering operations by sectional disputes. One of these latter. the survey states. is the constant light the department must make when working near a community. to keep its organisation manned by experienced men rather than displace them in. favor of lo- eoi people whose knowledge of the work is nil. ' I Sharp Curves e Mistake Changes in tredic and economic shifts have played their part in the department's struggle. A mat deal of work is being done now to cor- rect tho ili‘bt mistakes in making curves sharp. which was feasible with old slow trailic. but ‘must be corrected. now. Old roads are be. ing .changed and resurfaced with bituminous pr cement concrete and through all operation! to this end the department has at no time since ius‘ had appropriations large enough to keep pace with increasing road demands. v " Back in 1918. says the report. highways most from 310.000 to $15,- coo-e mile to build. With present re- quirements as to construction and width and present. material and wage increase the department cost of building is from staccato 875.000 a mile. . - ' I Mention. ,of Highways The department notes that a hugp economic factor in its policy is the change of the state's occupa- tional - complexion. While Connecti- cut'was never wholly agricultural. it is pointed out. placed“: there has been- a tremendous shift of popula. ban centers as the occupation be its to industry. Highways and their lo- cation ‘heve therefore been shifted and 'replanned to fill new demands.

Coi- oo to use a Singewald Chosen To Man- age Basketball G a m e s This Season — F i r s t . Game Thanksgiving. Five acts of high class vaudeville. an entertainment and a good feed will be the features of the Ddiilolay rally at the Norwaik DeMolay quar- ters, September 15. This was decid- ed at, a meeting of the boys. at the South Norwalk Masonic temple. last evening. It was also decided at the meeting to put another basketball team on the court again this season. Frank Underhlll. Henry Hopkins and Paul Slngewald were nominated for the mnnagershlp of the team and after many loyal court enthusiasts gave "speeches" for their favorite candidate a ballot was passed and Paul ilingcwald won the election. A committee will be appointed soon. to make arrangements for the coming rally. The committee will be known as the “Pep" committee and each member will have to have plenty of “pep" to stay on the com- mittee. Manager Singewald of the basket- ball flve will ask Arvid Kiellander to act as coach once more next season and has appointed Henry Hopkins. assistant manager. There will be eight new uniforms purchased as well as a basketball. The uniforms will be of purple with gold stripes and should make a neat appearance. Other DeMolay chapters of the state will compete with the local live. The court has not yet been decided upon. The first call for candidates will be issued about October 1 and the first game will be played Thanksgiv- ing Day. Many of the best DeMolays of the state will oppose the locals. The local boys will march in the parade at the outing of the Monker Grotto. September 11. and the petrol team of the Dehiolay will give fancy exhibitions on the street. Grottces from all over this state and part of New York state will attend the outing. “Doc” Dolan To Head _ Manchester Delegation The Manchester delegates to the Democratic state convention will be headed by Dr. Edward G. Dclau of Manchester and in case a convention tight develops over the candidates of Charles G. Morris of New Haven and Judge William E. Thoma of Waterbury for the gubernatorial nomination it is practically certain that Dr. Dolun will lead the local delegation or the Waterbury candi- date. He has long been antagonistic to the Spellacy-FitzGerald combina- tion in the Democratic party and in the recent contest over the state chairmanship and national commit- tecmsn he allied himself with the Waterbury group which nominated Peter FitaHonry of that city for the former cities. This alliance places the Manchester man in natural sympathy with the candlcacy of Judge Thoma quite aside from the fact that both of them are outstand- ing supporters of Govarnor Alfred 1-3..

Far~ roll has been arrested 97 times. Farrell has served iell sentences for drunkenness. vagrancy. theft. burglary. and trespassing on rail! road property. He has spent a total of nine years in jail. according to the records. but it was said that he has probably served more than a" deacde behind the bars in that he has also had to go the Jail when un- able to pay some of the fines im- posed. He has been fined a total of- $1.125. "Yes,' remarked James Breslin. clerk .of- the court. "Bernard began ‘stopplng’ at this place before you reporters were born." I . relatively large the state is fore to provide highways for heavy in tic from New York on one ’ side and Rhode island and Massachusetts. all thickly pepulated. on the other. The inference of the department is this Connecticut in its exchange of high- way civilities and service is receiv- ing less than its share of the bargain. Because of the ocaiion of the'st'ats the Boston Poe road is considered the most important state thorough fare. ‘ In 1017. the survey remarks. thh state had but one vehicle to over 11 persons. Now the figure has dropped to one for about five and a half.
