That the true way to improve the roads is for every town to own it's own stone crushing plant is known to every one who knows anything about roads. There is a growing sentiment in town that we ought to buy crusher and undoubtedly within short time, a meeting will be called to take action on this matter.

Let our taxpayers get togeth- CT and do something sensible in the cause of good roads.
