wATERFoRp's NEW ROAD
 SLIPPERY FOR HORSES
Cool Weather Has Made Surface Like
 Flint

The new macadem road that com mences at the Spithead corners in Waterford and ends somewhere in the town of East Lyme has become in such a condition that 1t Is getting to be all most impossible for horses to stand upon its hard surface The road'is one made of a new preparation of tarfand asphalt that has for, the entire time has been built been very smooth and in the winter time and cool parts of the year the mixture of tar and asphalt becomes so hard that the hoofs of the horses that travel over the road make no impression on it even with sharp shoes on. In the summer time this road is in the best of condition for horses. as the tar softens up in the warm weather. making it easy for the horses feet. The past two winters that the road has been built it has been covered with about three inches of sand that generally lasted for the en- tire winter and the horses that travel the road are safe as far as their falling is concerned. The recent cool days have hardened the road and at the present time it Is just like flint
