Three Thousand Dollars for the Pur- pose of Improving the Road Between East Haven and New Haven.

East Haven and New Haven.
 An enthusiastic meeting of the tax ,.ar, IS of the town of East Haven was held last night for the purpose of con- sidering the proposal to expend large sum of money for the improvement of the East Haven roads. At former meeting it was voted to lay aside S9,0OO for this improvement, $2,0O0 of which was to be paid by the state. Last night this action was rescinded. A motion was made that the sum of $5,000 be Vot- ed, but this was voted down and the original motion of $3,000 was unani- mously agreed upon. .e s.s
 The first thing to be done will be the completion of the road from the point where the work was left off two years ago to the line between East Haven and New Haven, which will cost in the vi cinity of $60O It is then the intention to commence work at the Charles Gran- miss corner, near the liberty pole in Foxon, and work towards the North Branford line. This distance is almost one mile and it is expected that the $2,
 400 remaining will complete 1t about
 half way, which will carry it past the Foxon church. % This will be a great benefit to farm CTS and others using the road, oyel which some four hundred wagons anc
 carriages pass daily. When completed
 East Haven will be in possession of one l of the best macadamized roads in the state.
