 It would be a very good thing for the town if State street could be oiled from the Hawthorn Inn to the bridge, and Main St, from State out through the business section. This altogether is not a long distance and the cost III. " are it costs s6 a day to water the streets-s5 for the man and team and $1 for the water. In 10 days this am- cunts to- $60 and in a month at the same rate to $1S0. Surely, if the town wishes to save money, and be protect ed from the dust, oiling is by all means the cheapest and best plan. A citizen said a few days ago that he estimated that no less than 2.500 people come into town for tha summer. Many of course go to the beach, and many more live in Greens Farms. Evi- dently it is the season for the towns people to reap their harvest of dollars The funeral was held a few days since of Mrs. Ann Lette Waterbury, a widow, who died at the residence of John W. Gault, her son-in-law. She was 76 years of age and her remains were taken to Willow Brook cemetery. Rev. Kenneth Mackenzie officiated. The turnpike running through Greens Farms, is having a top dress. ing of coarse sand, which is being packed down with water and a heavy steam roller. B. D. Pierce, Jr., Com pany of Bridgeport is doing the work. and the promise is that a very good road will be the result. Now if it could be oiled from the Southport line to the State street bridge, there would be little left to desire.
