Editorial notes discuss road congestion in Fairfield County and outline Highway Commissioner John A Macdonald’s plan to build a parallel parkway from Bridgeport to the New York line. The project would connect with a New York motor parkway, require a $15,000 state survey, and aim to relieve Post Road congestion by offering a faster, safer route with limited access, crossing highways on bridges and linking to towns by local roads.
