 E The laying of the new pavement marks the opening of another epoch in the history of Fairfield. The condi- ton of local streets has not been and is not one which local residents could well feel proud of. There are sev- eral instances where private owners the improvement of the highways ad- joining their lands but these stretches are removed from the main line of travel. Much less can be said of walks and curbs throughout the town. The bithulithic pavement, the kind to be laid, is a new patent and has giv- en satisfaction wherever constructed. The originators are so confident in their work that they have given a contract of five years standing. Own CTS of property along the course of construction should join in move ment which would have for it's ob- ject the laying of curbs and decent sidewalks all along the route. Con crete walks and curbs are such a boon and are so reasonable that now is the time while the work is in progress to lay them in. As the new pavement is not costing the town of Fairfield a penny why should it not be a wise step on the part of the town to make a, contribution so that a, uniform curb and sidewalk could be constructed throughout the entire length of the new pavement? These are matters which the townspeople could well con slider. Fairfield has a reputation of being a pretty little town. Why not strengthen and broaden that reputa- tion?

Stopping off at dawn at some sheltered beach, they pitch camp and getaway again in the morning. Monday evening being warm they did not pitch their tent instead sleeping in their bed bags, a the beach yesterday morning about g o'clock
