NORTH END WANTS MAIN STREET FIXED Committee Complains of TrOl- ley Road Repair < Methods. :5S
 9 GUARD RAIL DOWN
 AT DANGEROUS POINT City Once Paid Damages For Man Drowned at Same
 Place.

Protesting against the manner In which the Bridgeport and Danoury Railway co. is carrying out the order of the Common Council to repair Main street, a committee from the North End Improvement association called on Mayor Clifford B. Wilson today. The committee consisted of Nicholas Tes- inv. chairman: J. w. H. Jones and Fred Antone The latter Is the old est resident and property owner in the section near the Bethany chapel.
 The order Of the Common Council to the railway company to repair the street, compels the company to repair the roadway for two feet on the west side of the tracks and seven feet on the east side from Tesiny's store to the town line
 At present the railway company is repairing only two feet of the road way on the west side of the tracks and the east side is being left in its present condition. Residents of the section have been informed that this work will only be carried as far as Henninger's inn which is half a mile from the town line.
 The company has made no effort to replace the guard rail along the Horse Tavern reservoir which was removed when the company built it's line. The guard rail was placed at one of the most dangerous parts of the road, sew eraI years ago after Herbert Meeker, a peddler, had been thrown from his wagon into s1uice way and drown ed, The city was held negligent in not having this spot protected and nHeek@r's widow was paid $1, ,5O0 dam ages.
 Resfdenfs Of this section claim that several similar accidents have been narrowly averted at this point since 1he guard rail was removed.
