The statements showed that considerable has been ‘accomplished during the vear and the organization is now in shape to get at numerous civiec improvements. Particularly sat- isfying was the report from the com- mittes on sidewalks. The chairman reported that several property owners have arranged to have sidewalks laid i front of their places this Summer and the indications are that the en- tire appropriation made by the town to ald those who agree to spend some of their money for the improvement will be used up. Property owners in the vicinity of East street will take a considerable part of the appropria- tion and in other sections of the town cement walks will also be laid. Episcopaleans Elect.

Without any obposition developing, the plan of the state highway com- missioner for pavement improvements on West Main and Whiting streets was accepted by the voters at a spe- cial town meeting last night. An ap- propriation of $2,700 was made to cover the expense of the town's share of the work. .. The meeting lasted but & short time » and no objection was raised to the making of the appropriation, although it was admitted that the town will probably run behind this year as the result. The voters took the view that as the state and trolley companies will spend thousands of dollars in im- proving the streets in question, the least the town might do is to con- tribute enough to have the work done in accordance with the commission- er's plani - On Whiting street ‘the pavement is to be laid from curb to curb from the terminus of the present amiesite area to the corner of Maple street. | Four hundred and fifty dollars was appropriated by the meeting to make this possible. % ‘While it was explained that byt $2,005 will be required to have .the amiesite cover the entire highway from the railroad crossing on West Main street to the Trust company’s property, it was suggested that at all the intersectng streets as far ‘ag the Forestville town line the pavement should extend from crosswalk to eross- walk. This idea was favored by;the voters and thev made an apptropria- tion of $2,250 to cover the expense. 8. 8. Gwillim served as chalrman of the meetng and Town Clerk R. C. Usher made the. records. Contractors Notified. Selectman Johnson wis down town early this mornivig to notifi the con- tractore in’ charge of the Whiting and West' Main street jobs of. the actipn of the' meeting, and he authorized them to makeé the. improvements for which the voters had atranged. The work .on Whiting street has: proceeded to ‘a’ point_ almost to the. corner of Maple street, but the addi- tional width can be provided without causing any interruption, It i ex- pected that in about two weeks, with favorable weather, the laying of the ‘Whiting street pavement will be com- pleted. ‘The pavement on West Main street, in to be started at the railroad cross- I?g and the commissioner plans to Have it continued as'far as the plant of the Bristol Brass company in Fast Bristol.
