 Good news comes from Southport
 that the laying of the Warrenite road way; the permanent pavement which is to- be laid along the main state
 road, is about. to be- started. again. EV- erything is in readiness for a. flying start nothing being lacking now but
 the men. The Warren Bros. Go. who
 have the contract have most of their
 men at verk on another contract in
 the state, this being the reason given
 for the slight delay. The company
 figures that with favorable weather
 they will be able to lay mile of road
 bed in one week. The new pave
 road from the Southport line up to
 the Norwalk line. When comptet-
 ed the road between Norwalk and
 Bridgeport will be one of the finest Iayouts of it's kind in this part of the country.

 to accept but when it comes to the challenger naming the date, the Pion- eerS think the CompOS went just a little too far. The Pioneers are on their uppers now and state they will
 not play the Compos on July as the
 latter have suggested but will accept | their challenge for a date on which l they, the members of the Pioneers, l can agree among themselves-but it won't be the Fourth just because the Compos have selected that date.
