Why soda crackers became universal in days gone by
The passage credits soda crackers as a universal staple, noting how people bought them by the barrel or box, carried them home in paper bags, and enjoyed crispness and flavor only when freshly taken from the protecting package. It highlights Uneeda Biscuit as superior, baked in great bakeries, packed, kept, and sold by the National Biscuit Company for five cents.

Road through Center meadows faces doubt amid land row
Stratford August notes a revived push by the Board of Trade to build a road from Main Street near the railroad depot to Ferryhouse Yard near the Ferry Creek bridge. The plan hinges on New Haven railroad land sales and double tracking the East Broadway line, with costs cited around twelve thousand dollars but likely much higher due to swamp clearing bridges and drainage. Local officials doubt feasibility as the railroad may not cede land or shift trolley tracks, leaving residents to weigh alternatives and endure disruption to streets like East Broadway and Judson Place.
