 An act of the last legislature provides that sign boards must be put up at cross AbHhR HAhNAbAh lO DbItBhlDbI AHA OhNbAht of the boroughs and cities. It Is proba. ble that there are places in town which will have to receive tho attention of the seleotmon along this line. The Connecti. cut division of the l.. A. W. is anxious to soc tho law enforced, and has decided tC offer large number Of sign-boards free for use on the principal highways. These boards will be two feet long and one foot broad, and will contain, In addition to the names of towns and distance, characters indicating tho quality of tho roads.
 Tho special borough meeting hold at borough hall last Thursday evening was attended by large number of voters Aftor considerable discussion and expla nation, the new layout of Westford avenue three rods wide, was adopted. The new layout of Willlngton avenue was also adopted. &3,0O0 was appropriated tC grade, widen and maoadRmlze Wilmington avenue from East -Main-st. to the brook it bClng understood that the town Is tC appropriate $ 300 of the $3, 900. If all o the appropriation of $3,0O0 Is not requlr ed on Willington avenue the balance Is tC be used to mAcRdamlze Furnace avonu, from East -MRln-st. north as far as tn, balance will permit. &1 ,00O was also ap propriated to defray the expenses O changing tho intersection of WestforC avenue with Wlllington avenue. IL fl thought that the gravel excavatod or Westford avenue can all be used in ie pairing the roads that have been 80 badl, washed during the recent heavy rains thus reducing the expense on WestforC avenue below the estimates first made Tho new layout of Willlngton avenue doe not vary much from tho ono provionsl! adopted. The ledge in front of the Kan' houso ls to bo entirely removed, and thu line of tho street will be straight iron East Main-st. to tho brook. The grad on Wostford avenuo will bo changed fo about 320 feet from Wllllngton avenue near E. c. Donnis' barn. When thes changes arc made, and If the grade oI Crown-st. Is Improved, the heavy team ing from tho freight depot to the uppe villages will probably go up this avenu in pIeRerenoe to East -Main-st., as th' grado will be easier, and the sharp corne at East- Main-st., which cannot be yer. much improved, will be avoided. Th' Improvements will be very much appreci ated whom completed.
