 STRATFORD AVENUES OIL.
 As yet no steps have been taken to oil the towns share of Stratford ave- nue from the city line ito Hard S corner. The Connecticut company completed its share of the work weeks ago but nothing was ever done to fn- 1sh the entire job. They say half a loaf is better than none and this is undoubtedly true but it is the opinion of the Stratford avenue residents that they have gotten along on the half loaf long enough now to be entitled l to the whole. Ferry road has been oiled, Main street has been oiled, and Barnum avenue has been oiled. It's now about time that Stratford avenue was attended to.
 STAMFORD AT THE BEACH.
 Stratford was extremely well repre- sented at the beach resorts last even ing. Fully thirty of the towns young swafns were observed sweating and puff1ng as they went through the in tricate steps of that latest rag" dance, | the Tango, at the Myrtle beach casino. Almost any night the boys can be seen tripping the light fantastic toe'' at the beach dance halls oblivious of ev- erything and everybody except the fair young summer girl whom they are try ing to do the right thing by, endeav- bring to demonstrate that thee real, live sports-the regular guys," come from Stratford.
