With the probable taking over of this road by the State Highways Depart ment and being turned into state road, residents of the Heights and oth- CTS having occasion to travel in that section will be greatly pleased. OUR HOPEFUIs AT BRIDGEPORT HIGH. Some of the young boys and girls who have been attending Bridgeport High school were unfortunate in their Isenni-yearIy examinations. Examine tions at the High school are some what exacting. A standing rule re- Iquiring pupils to reach percentage in examination of 70 must be attained for failure of which in certain mum Der of lessons, means dropping> of pu- pills from the High school A major | ity of those now attending from Fair field were able to pass good exaAnina- tions The fortunate ones are to be Icongratulated and encouraged in their
 school work.
