 First selectman, Leon G. Hall stated today that there prooaoly would be no "ciean-up" day in town. due to the fact that the ap- propriation of the funds was for re- pairing roads and that he did not feel that it was the right thing 10 .pend town money on . general cleanup program.
 He further stated that if condt- tions were such that it was neces- sary he would consider the natter but that he was not in favor or the idea. The roads are in poor condt- ton and all attention of the town teams should 70 to repairing the roads in preference to anytnins else. he said.
 He stated that Berlin had a uniaue situation in that two-thirds of the roads were dirt roads and they needed much attention in the spring of the year. They must be scraped. The attention of the team gangs is centered on the few hard roads under the car of the town These roads must be repaired each sprinr Ss the frost causes great damage each year. Feeling that the highway department should spend fits time working on the roads and spending the money that was appro- priated for this purpose, not on \ cleanup program, which would take three or four days. Mir. Hall made | clear that there would be no clean- up day. This has been the practice for the past few years and many people are depending on the town teams to take rubbish away.
