 A special town meeting was held last evening and the voters decided to vote to accept a number Of streets in outlying sections Of the town There was not much discussion or argu- ment and the meeting was praCtiCa lIy devoid of interest.
 The following streets were accept ed at the meeting: FOrcstville ave- nuc, Maple street, Noodforti avenue, White Oak avenue, West wood avenue. Broad street extension, Hobson ave- nue, Pine street, and Miles avenue.
 IL was discovered that there were two streets known as Dewey avenue. Neither Ot them had been accepted by the town and the question came up as to which should bo allowed to keep the original name. It was found that on one of them, several houses had been erected and were recorded in the town records as being on Dewey ave- nuc, therefore it was decided to change the name Of the one in the WestwOod Park section. Peter J. Prior suggested that the name of the street be changed from Dewey ave nue to ForshaW avenue, thus naming it after Robert H. Forshaw, one of the first residents of the section. Mir. Prior referred to MT. ForShaw'S war record and said that the town could not do better than name a, street aft CT him. Mir. Prior's suggestion was applaudcd and it was put in the form Of d motion and the approval was unanimous. Mir. ForshaW has resid ed in the Westwood Park section for 20 years and has been instrumental in the growth and development of the tract. He has erected 22 houses there, some for himself and a num- Der for other residents. When the motion was carried. Mir. Forshaw said. II guess the name won't die"
 Peter J. Prior then suggested that the town accept New Britain avenue. R. C. Usher moved that New Britain avenue as far as Cook street, be ac- ccptcd. Several voters then suggested that the motion be amended so as to include New Britain avenue as far as the New Britain town line. II was then found that New Britain avenue was not laid out on the town plan.
 A motion was made that the Sclcctmcn be instructed to have sur vcys' made Of the avenue and that it be laid out on tho town plan. The mo- liOh was cdfTleN, ana tnc itccpl- ance of the street will probably come before the next town meeting.
 The voters heard the reading of the offer from the Trumbull Electric com pany to give to the town 20 feet of land in front of the factory for the purpose of widening the road. The was accepted by vote. The town thus agrees to build a macadam road from East street to JOhnson'S $ sta ton. The Trumbull cont pany will move it's sidewalks 20 feet back from the road from East street to the fac tory site. No time was set for this and it remains in the hands Of the board of selectmen.
