The special town meeting to take ac-
tion on the appropriation for the good
roads and other matters is called for
tomorrow evening in the town hall.
1T is to be hoped that there will be a
large attendance, as the questions to be
acted upon are important Ones One
Feature Of the meeting will be to get an
expression as to where the new state
road will be built. The Yalesville resi-
dents naturally want the road joined
to the south end of the last years road
and continued down to the bridge near
the box shop, and the residents down
near the center Of the town desire to
see the road start at the borough line
and run north, as the road in its pres
ent state Is one Of the worst in town
on account of the sand. The selectmen
are of the opinion that the road might
be divided as last year, and part go on
both ends. There is sufficient good
reason why the entire three thousand
feet cannot be used up at the Yales-
willie end at the present time, as at no
distant day it is probable that a decid-
ed change will be made in the layout
of the road from near the box shop,
over to Colony street, near Mooney $
crossing, as it is proposed to start in
new route from north of the bridge,
over the Quinnipiac river, and cut
hcross diagonally and not cross the riv-
er at all, but extend it across the lot
and strike Colony street at point
probably south of MONEYS crossing.
The exact location cannot be determine
ed at present or until after the railroad
company has made it's proposition as
to the abolishing of the present grade
crossing at that point. There is likely
to be quite a radical change made in
that vicinity and there is no use of
laying stone road until everything is
arranged regarding the route of the
road. The proposition is to fill in I'M
der the north bridge above the box
shop at Yalesville and do away with
the present bridge.
The seleotmen have discussed the
matter and are well agreed upon what
should be done at that point in the
near future, and at the meeting to-
morrow evening it is probable that
they will give their ideas on the mat
-, ~ he 9TH ryI,a cI inv ont
and listen to the projects and express
their own views on the question. The
wheelmen should make it a point to be
present and make their wishes known.
The subject is one that is Of great in
4erest to all who have occasion to pass
over the town roads, whether in a wag-
on or on bicycle, and they should be
sure and attend the meeting tomorrow
evening.
