FAIR HAVEN NOTES.

AlA 1lA uN NV4 uNt
 The people residing in Quinnipiac avenue north of Grand avenue, would be very glad to have the roadway sprinkled this summer and a commits tee of the borough officers will see what can be done about it. It is not only the cars which kick up a great dust, but many automobiles and teams contribute their share toward creat- ing dust storms. In many of the houses near the street in dry weather, resi- dents say that it is difficult to keep the rooms clean. Quinnipiac avenue has a macadam roadway and consequent ly it takes but little to agitate the dust. It is hoped by the borough gov- ernment that the board will receive a report from its committee in the mat ter of street sprinkling at the meet ing in June.
