The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-04-15
STAMFORD


 Surveyors are at work laying out the new road which is to be cut from King to Main street, making an ex- tension on Broadibridge avenue. Last winter the work was begun and sev- eral trees were cut down and the by the railroad company moved back to make room for the road. Cold weather, however, prevented the com pletion of the work. There is very little more to be done before the ac- tual work of laying the road is com menced. Land has to be cleared, sev- era1 tree trunks removed and work men will start the roadway which. when completed, will be a decided iHl- provement and great convenience.
 STRAINS FOOT.
 There were two grass fires in town yesterday, one on Nichols avenue and one near the car barns on Stratford avenue The chemical was called to each fire. While putting out the Chief Judson, in walking over the rather rough ground, turned his foot in such a way as to sprain the hga- ments. The chief was not aware of the fact until he had returned from the fire. when his foot began to pain him. It grew steadily worse and he was obliged to use a, cane to get about with. It is hoped that he will be in- convenienced for but a short time
