Especial to The Farmer.)

" Stratford, Sept. 20-"A political .Frame-up'' is what one man said yes eerday of the building of the tool houses on North Main street where rfhe new road is to be constructed some time in the future, but at just what time no one knows.
 'If the people of Stratford can be persuaded to believe that there is a possibility of this road being started before winter sets in, the present ad- xniuistration will not suffer and there will be more chance of the present Eelectznan, Charles WeHes5 being re- elected to office,'' said the citizen '"The building of these tool houses tRIong the street naturally has given people the impression that the select men have been onto their jobs and have taken steps to make the con tractors begin work on the laying of the Amiesite pavement-which work should have been started the early part of last summer.
 The intelligent voters of the town who have their eyes open are not de- cefved by this move of erecting the tool houses along the highway. The houses were built some weeks ago but has the actual work of building the road begun yet2 And does it look as af it Is going to be started before next Bpring7''
