Hail! glorious Apostle, selected by
God
To enlarge the blessed pale of Christ's
faithful believers.
| Accent our weak efforts to honor thy
virtues
And chiefly thy wonderful charity.
For twas thy bright flames Of love
| seraphic
| Which moved thee thy country and
kindred to leave,
All earthly enjoyments and comforts
to part with.
| The town meeting next Monday vii
| be called to order at O'Clock in the
| evening. Besides the matters to bt
| acted upon already noticed in the
Farmer the warning contains the fol
| lowing: to consider the building of 6
new bridge at Tide Mill river; to pro-
vide additional street lights; to make
| further Improvements on Villa avenue
to improve the highways from Browns
| Brook to the Greenfield Hill schoo
house; to improve the highway alons
the beach near Little Danbury; to grade
| Snake Hill; to oppose or consent to the
| Staples proposition for annexing par
| of the town to Bridgeport; 20 make
| further appropriations for the current
| expenses of the year. This is q pretty
| long program, and it looks as if mucf
money will be required to improve tn
| highways as requested. 1t is TO be re
GREETED the selectmen have not seer
| fit to consider the question of accept
/ ing School street, since the land own
ers bordering that thoroughfare hav'
been generous enough to give the land
| And the matter of widening Mail
| street extended from Broad street t.
| Sasco Hill, ought to be disposed of be
| fore any more encroachments ar
made upon the highway. Some da!
it is hoped the questions of decen
| sidewalks will appeal to the selectmen
If all the inhabitants of the tow
could get about in automobiles. pos
| sibly the sidewalk question would b
of little Importance. but it so happen
many very good people have to walk
| At least there should be something
better than mud puddles in the cen
| ter village.
