Bedding, May 26.-A rather satls- factory interview on the road ques- ton was held by the selectmen at Hartford on Monday with Com. Nc Donald. Tn the first place the com missioner assured his visitors that matters were nearly in readiness for bids upon the scant mile of highway to be built south from the Episcopal church corner. The survey and plans were made last summer and these will undergo some slight alterations before proposals on them are invited. In the expectation of construction work last season the road received no repairs and has fallen into a very bad cOndi- tion. There remains about enough or the old appropriation to build this section, leaving for other purposes all where his would be expended has been the subject of much conjecture. With out seeking any suggestions from the seiectmen on this point MT. Mcdonald made known that he had already reached a decision The entire sum he said would go towards complet- ing the Ridge road onward to Dan bury. He further explained that the expenditure would be upon the Park road and not upon the Sunset Hill road, nothing having occurred to change his mind since he rejected the claims of the latter thoroughfare last year. The $1O.000 ought to nearly or quite finish up the Ridge-Danbury road northward to the, Bethel line, and is an Improvement which will re- ceive the general sanction of the pub lie On its southern end the road from Pine Tree corner to the Easton line remains unimproved. When this and Hill shall have been completed there will be very nearly a straight line of State Highway to Bridgeport.
 At the regular meeting of the se- lectmen on Saturday it is expected that some action will be taken to- wards bringing town account matters to a focus. Since the special meeting some two weeks ago when Town Trea- surer. Hill confronted by the proofs, had to admit a financial shortage dat ing back three years nothing tending towards a settlement has been done. Since this meeting MT. Hill has visit ed ex-Co1lector Gorham in an endea- vor to have the latter consent to changes in the credit entries on the rate books which would reduce the formers indebtedness by $2OO. MT. Hill asserts that he mistakenly wrote the figure 'tone'' before two of these entries, working in error of $1O0 in each instance. With this point con- ceded the shortage would be s1 300 in- stead of $1,500. Mr. Gorham refused, however, to make any concessions. He said the figures of the credit ent ries which appear on his books had been set down by MT. Hill at the time the latter received the payments and that they were correct according to every reasonable presumption.
