 STAMFORD AVENUE
 It is not generally known around town that Stratford avenue is marked for extensive hnprov e1nent ts and that in the near future a fine f'Warrantte'' pavement is to be laid there at the expense of the state. The state how ever win not be ready to begin the work of laying the new pavement un- til the Connecticut company gets ready to remove its present tracks and lay new ones on the tholOughfare.
 Just now the road is being tempor- ari1y repaired, the rlts being filled in with gravel and fine trap rock. A force of about ten men with carts and a steam roller are doing the work and when they are through the road will be in better condition than it has been for months past.
 The Connecticut company has finish l ed it's share of the work of oI1Ing Stratford avenue and thus knocked over time-honored precedent. Never before in the memory of the oldest in- habitant has the Connecticut com pany been known to finish it's share of any particular piece Of work be- fore the town or state was ready to begin to do dts share. As on Fairfield avenue in Bridgeport, on Congress St.. and on half a dozen other streets l that might be named, work has in ,variably been held up until the Con nectfcut company has finished it's special work So ttScertainIy seems | novel to be telling about the com pany finishing It's share of a. job be- fore the other fellows are ready to begin. Verify, the days of miracles have not yet passed.
 VICTORY FOR 'tANTTS."
 The news that Dudley J. Stafford, proprietor of the Stratford' Inn, and Angelo Stavola, proprietor of the1 Avon Park cafe had their liquor I- | cense revoked by the county conmis- sioners yesterday and forfeited bonds ] of s45o which they posted at the time ceived with elation by the anti-1iquor interests in the town yesterday.
 It was generally understood that the men would not appear before the county commissioners to show cause why their licenses should not be re- voked for the evidence against them was very strong. The anti-liQuor in! terests in Stratford are going to try now to prevent anyone else from get ting licenses to dispense the fire wa ter'' at these two cafes.
