NeWtown people are aWaking to the advisability of improving the opportuni- ty to have macadam stone laid on drive ways or foot paths while both men and machinery are here and many small jobs are now being done. The contract with the town has been finished and the work was inspected, Wednesday, by the board of selectmen and L. B. Booth of the spec ial committee appointed by the town at the town meeting which ordered the work. They found it well done, the terms of the contract being faithfully carried out. In lineai measure, the road is 53S0 feet, or 100 more than mile, in length. The contract price was $2450 per mile, but the addition of other work will bring MT Pierce's bill to between $2500 and 5000. s'This,'' said 6 gentle man interested in the work, ''is, believe, cheaper than it could have been done had the town bought machinery and hired men to operate it, for Pieree's men know their duties so thoroughly that they are able to work to the best advantage, while inexperienced hands would unavoidably lose much time. have faith to believe that this road will stand and will be in good condition five years hence, as are the Bridgeport roads I have examined" In the Street, from the North Center school house to the corner, the macadam is l5 feet wide, tapering down IS inches on each side and bringing it to virtual width of Is feet; from the corner to the railroad, it is l2 feet in width, with the additional IS inches on each side to make it 15 feet. All coarse stone is four inch es in depth. There are 1542 linear feet of the wider roadbed, with 2l72 square feet at the flag pole, for which the town pays and which is divided into two tracts, 10x50 and 22x76. There are 6O1O addi- tional square feet of macadam at this square, of which the Congregational so- ciety pays for plot 10xl4 feet, while the subscription already raised is sufficient for the remaining tracts, 54xSO and 31x5O. The macadam around the water box GOV CTS space 47x69 feet.

The name given to this years en- tertainment is ''rhe Dairy Maids Supper and Drill, and it promises to be some thing novel and dazzling. Some 9 of Newtown's prettiest young ladies will participate in this part of the enter tainment, cantata if you please. But this is not all, for, at booths arranged in the hall, will be offered for sale numerous fancy articles, candy, lemonade, cake, presided over by ladies from in and out of town, whose winning smiles and be- guiling manners will cause many dueats to jingle in the pockets (metaphorically speal<ing) of the Library association.
