Stratford Favors Broad Street Road Plan Amid Debate
Selectman John Holmes argues for spending about 5500 dollars to build a state road along Broad Street connecting Barnum avenue to Elm Street and East Broadway, opposing those who want funds redirected to Main Street. The plan would benefit Stratford Center, Broad Street residents, and nearby areas, while critics warn of shifting priorities. A local faculty member Miss Margaret Curtis receives a bridal shower organized by Stratford High School students.
