Does Not Want Street Disturbed After Improvement is Made.
AUTO hLx-UP AIRED IN COURT
Infant Son of Mir. and Mrs. James Simpson Dead-HOme From Hospi- tal-Elmore Clark for Toastlnaster Court Hears of Collision.

Court Hears of Collision.
 That the plans for a sewage system, although not as yet accepted by the voters, may cause an indefinite post ponement of the laying of permanent pavement on East Main street which had been proposed for this spring by the highway commissioner and the Connecticut company is the opinion of leading citizens who believe that the possibilities of getting the improve ment this year are very remote.
 Commissioner Bennett has advised Selectman Johnson that he proposed to pave the street from Central square to Pine street corner this summer, a part of the expense to be borne by the Connecticut company. The trolley people had promised to put perma- nent pavement on Central Square and to extend the macadam from curb to curb on East Main St. as a concession for the privilege of laying double tracks which was granted by the se- lectmen 8 year ago.
 Instead of making an extension of the maca dam, Commissioner Bennett believed he could get the company to enter into an arrangement for paying a part of the cost of laying permanent pavement on the street and he recent. ly notified the selectman that an agreement had been reached although no decision had been made as to what kind of material would be used.
 It is the policy of the highway commissioner to avoid making any extensive street improvements where there IS a possibility of it's being dis turbed and it is now considered un- likely that he will be in favor of lay- ing permanent pavement on any high way included in the sewer area until the necessary pipe is laid or the voters decide to reject the proposition. The matter may be definitely de- cided in the near future, depending on the action of the officers in again calling the voters together to get con- sideration of resolutions towards au- thorizing the district committee to award contracts and make other necessary arrangements.
 The paving of East Main street Is an improvement that is greatly to be desired and there is a growing belief that something should be done to give the highway commissioner an idea as
