 1 It was the sense of the meeting that the first thing to be done was to have 8 permanent pavement put l down on Naugatuck avenue from the Devon station to Walnut Beach and along the beach to Fort Trumbull tn +n IoE new state road.
 1 It was stated that before a special 1 town meeting can be called the mat 1 ter must be laid before the Board of | Finance and must also receive favor I able action from the board. Then a i demand may be made on the select 1 men to call a special town meeting. 1 It is proposed that a bond issue of 1 S200000 be authorized and the roads 1 put in good shape all along the shore. 1 as at the present a. large number of l men who would invest in shore prop Iterty fail to do so because of the mis- 1 erabIe condition of the roads which 1 lead to Woodmont, Burweu Beach, 1 Pond Point, Fort Trumbuu, Myrtle and Walnut Beaches.
