 One of the best improvements made by the town of late years, so recognized by our citi- zens generally, and those of North Haven, IL 4 IL. route with teams, is the raising and macada- mixing of the old Middletown avenue turn pike across the meadows beyond Lewis' bridge. This road is now again much in vogue with New Haven people when out for a drive these beautiful spring days. It is in & fine condition, three feet higher than 1t was before, and the top dressing of stone render ing it smooth and hard. The whole roadway across the meadows is fenced in with strong, durable posts and rails, making it impossible to drive off the road onto the meadows.
