 The engineers are working at the sur vey for the macadamized roads, every day pleasant enough for them to work outside. There has been some adverse criticism upon the action of the select men in not advertising for bids for the work before now, but, to any one who has examined into the situation at all, there seems no more delay than is nec- essary. No one could make satisfac- tory bid upon the job until they knew what was to be done and it requires careful consideration before deciding up- on q plan of operation, so that the work, when completed, shalls be the best of it's kind. There Is no certainty that it will be done at all this Spring, unless anoth- CT town meeting is called to appropriate more money, as there is serious doubt as to whether a thoroughly satisfactory road can be built for the amount per mile to which the town limited the se- lectmen. We had better remain as we are now, than to expend the money and not have good job.
