 The NEWS of Aug 15 was in error in stating that New Milford had appro- priated $9, 900 to be expended on its highways under the "Good Roads" law. The New Milford Gazette of August Is devotes full column to reporting the special town meeting held there Aug. 10. The facts are that New Milford voted to appropriate only $4.500 for roads, $3000 of it from the state, $l 500 from the town, all to be made good to town by individual subscriptions and not cents's cost to general taxpayers. It was stated in the meeting that ''the property owners, merchants and others interested stood ready to give $I,00O with $2,000 from the state to h ve Bank street paved from curb to curb with pressed vitriaed brick which would do away with the mud and make it pos. sible to flush the street with hose al any time, The Bank street people did not ask nor would they take cent from the town" Now here is an exam pie, a model or "tip" for the people of Canaan village to follow who want the taxpayers of the whole town o North Canaan to pay for macadam roads in the village of Canaan. .
