The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-09-04

- Westporters are not slow in adopt ing anything which they deem will be of benefit to the town as a. whole. Re gently the town held a meeting when it was decided to pave State Street from curb to curb only in certain places. When the workmen for the Warren Bros. Co.,, who are laying the pavement came towards the center they laid but eight feet on one side of the trolley track. This left a space of about two feet between the edge of the pavement and the curb, giving the street an unsightly appearance and leading one to the impression that the unpaved portion would be one which would require constant repair and at tention. Led by Charles Fable, res idents in State street secured enough signers to secure brfn ging the atten- ton to the town meeting Tuesday ev- ening. There advocates of the full paving showed the advantage of their views. Their efforts bore fruit for favorable action was taken. Now State street will be paved from curb to curb from Compo street to the bridge. It will be the same on the west side Of the bridge to the top of the hill
