 A recent Ellington town meeting voted to defer consideration of the asked-for i'm provement on the Lake road until the Oc- tober meeting. As the public eonven- fence and necessity clearly demands the asked for betterments, we may trust to the good sense of our sister town to give at that time favorable consideration. The great amount of travel between the Springs and Rockville certainly demands that the shortest road between these points be put in better condition for use.
