The Newtown bee. (Newtown, Conn.) 1877-current, 1891-07-03
LONG HILL.

Elmer W. Dewhurst, Charles E. Will
liams, William E. Parker, who are to
build the macadam road from the Bridge
port line through Long Hill, have formed
joint stock company with $4,000 capital
to be known as the Stone Road Con-
struction Co. Each takes third of the
24O shares.
The new steam roller recently import
ed from England for Dewhurst & Will
liams arrived on the lower section of the
road, Saturday and has been put into con-
dition for service by F. L. Burton, who,
as an expert at machinery, has won fame.
The roller was manufactured by Aveling
& Porter, Rochester, England and is of
the latest pattern. Dewhurst & Williams
are enterprising men and never do work
by halves. The crusher arrived,
Tuesday and will be put in
operation Immediately. Their gig
scrapers also work to perfection under
the skilful management of e. Middle
brook, who has charge of the grading.
The hay and cherry crops of this vicin-
ity have proven an agreeable surprise to
the farmers. In some instances, the hay
is as heavy as last season and the fruits
generally good. 1t was feared at one
time that they were totally destroyed
by worms. Speaking of worms, two gay
young mashers of the hill have been in
earnest consultation of mustaches for the
past two weeks, but the thinness of one
and the off-color of the other so disgust
ed the gay young sports Gas it did all
others who noticed them) that they con-
cluded to and did decapitate the same.
They are now back ON earth with the
rest of mankind and behaving civilly. *
