Projected ROAD IMPROVEMENTS

PROJECTED ROAD IMPROVEMENTS.
The town of Bethel is about to make
it's first attempt at improving its high
ways under the good road law. The
town at its annual meeting voted to APP
propriate a sum equal to the amount
allowed by the State, for the purpose OF
reducing grades. The selectmen, after
a careful looking over of the field In COM
pany with City Engineer Brown of Dan
bury, have selected the following high
ways in which to make improvements !:
lst. On the Elmwood road near Charles
Hamlin's, where sandy hill is to be cut
down and filled in at bottom Of hill near
the residence of Charles Perkins.
End. On the Putnam Park road near
the Hurlburt place. This steep pitch has
long been hard pull for earryalls going
to the Park. This will be cut down and
filled in at the bottom, rendering the
grade much easier. The third place to
be improved will be the road leading
from Danbury to Stony Hill. The resi-
dents In that locality have complained
for years to the selectmen about this
place, asking for some Improvement. 1t
is proposed to cut gravelly knoll near
the Danbury line and with the material
from this cut, cover long stretch OF
sand at the foot of the long hill also t.
take of some of the breaks on the long
hill and otherwise improve it. Plans and
specifications have been submitted to the
Highway Commissioner and the follow
ing letter received from him:
Selectmen Town of Bethel, Gentle
men Thanks for the prompt way yor
have sent in your plans. And l also de
sire to say that the work laid out will b.
a decided Improvement. | shall approve
plans and specifications. Yours respect
fully James Fl. Macdonald.
The law requires the selectmen to ad
vertise for proposals for two weeks II

This seems to the III needless expense
but it will have to be complied with
Engineer Brown estimates that all thes
Jobs can be done within the appropria
ton. If the selectmen find on receipt o
proposals such is not the case, one of tn
jobs will be postponed until another year
They will not, under any consideration
