Top Dressing Of Gravel
ANSONIA – A top dressing of gravel is being laid on North Cliff Street, where the road has been badly worn for a long time. Only a portion of the street will be repaired at this time, pending the settlement of the changing of the grade on the street.
Extending The Gas Mains
DERBY – The gas stove is becoming very popular in this city for a summer stove. The Derby Gas Company has decided to extend its mains in the westerly of the city to meet the demand of consumers, and this morning, they put a gang of men to work digging to lay a main through Hawthorne Avenue from Sixth and Anson streets. Many have expressed a desire to use gas instead of coal or wood for the summer, and gas stoves are being purchased by them.
Going Out Of Business
SEYMOUR – Mrs. Sarah Popp, who since the death of her husband has conducted the large tailoring establishment on Third Street, had decided to go out of business. The goods in the store are now being packed preparatory to vacating the store.

For this week’s edition of ‘This Week in Valley History,’ we mixed it up by taking a ride over to the Derby Public Library, where there is a massive collection of Valley newspapers on microfilm.
We’re taking a look at June 17 through June 21, 1950!
