TREASURE FIELD
 ASKS NEW ROADS
Residents Sign Petition Out lining Desired Remedies
WANT LIGHT AND WATER
Younger Set Preparing For School --Trespasscrs Arrested On Judge filings Property - Athletic Club Plans Carnival In Sept.--Items.

Residents of the Treasure Fields district of this place have petitnon- ed the selectmen for action regard ing the installation of decent roads in that neighborhood. The origin ator of the movement is Stanley Fisk who drew up the original word ing of the petition and presented 1t to First Selectman George E. Car ter.
 The petition states the following condition existing at present: Rainy periods n&essitate boots being worn on anyone travelling the roads; res idents must wade through slush and mud in the winter time; school children are forced to use narrow walk for the distance of one mile in their daily walk to school, huck- sters and tradespersons will not use the roads. but park their vehicles near the main highway, thus mak- ing 1t necessary for housewives to walk some distance to obtain. their daily needs; persons going to and rom NOIh dlS IplNNu "
 through mud and water in reaching the bus line; friends visiting the neiehborhood fear to take their cars through the mud and z park near Beech Swamp road, walking the rest of inc distance and motorists who have occasion to visit this dlstrlct get a poor impression of the town.
 First Selectman Carter stated that the petition is slated for town meet ing and will receive some acton at that time. The residents of the community are taxed for both water and light, receiving neither and get ting no rebate for the lack ot the commodities as they are assessed for the reason that the main line runs on Beech swamp road ana they are near enough to the main to be taxed for the service. me town has not yet accepted the streets in that district and until this is done, and the fire board acts to- ward getting fire hydrants In the neighborhood, the place will con- tinue without gas and water service.
 Whether the town will accept the streets or not is the most prominent ouestion to be decided at that time. The owners of the development would then give quit claim deed to inc town of Berlin and the fire dis trIct board would act in getting the mains installed in that vicinity. Ser lin has always been reticent ln ac- cepting blind streets such as most of the Treasure Field streets are. The need for some action. however, is so great that it isl ossible that the town will stretch point and accept the highways in question to auord relief to residents of that place.
