well as several other residents nave reported bad roads on the outskirts of the town to Selectman Johnson. The SeleCtman will do as much as possible immediately to improve traNeling conditions. So much rain has fallen of late that it has remained on the roads, especially in the Scott swamp district, and veritable mud holes have resulted. Several large cars have been stuck in the Farming ton section of late due to the poor roads.
 Such conditions have existed for years and it is practically impossible to remedy them for any lengthy period. Filling can be placed on the bad spots but it is only worn off or pushed to one side by the teams and autos and the same conditions exist at the next heavy doWnpour.
 The roads in the town are in fair IH good condition as much work was done on them by the town street de partment ins the early sping.
