mt Black Rock for its annual outing.
The following petition was presented
to the board of selectmen, Monday:
Your petitioners respectfully represent that
the approaches to the bridge over the New
York, New Haven and Hartford railroad on
Black Rock avenue, ut the Chemical
Works crossing, are steep and difficult OF as
cent and constructed of such material as to
give soft and sandy roadbed similar to that
ola Sound beach. We, therefore, petition
your honorable board that, In so far as 1t may
be deemed advisable by you on inspection,
you have said approaches extended to the
north and to the south and thus rendered
more easy of ascent; and also that you have
the same constructed of such material as to
give firm and smooth road bed suitable for
travel. Fairfield, August 10, 1891. Charles s.
