 Seeks Better Dirt EoaLs
 At joint meeting of the demo- cratic town committee and the workers of the democratic party, held last evening. Frank J. O'Brien candidate for representative, issued statement relative to his position on the so-called dirt road" question in Connecticut.
 MT. O'Brien stated that while there are some good reads in the state, they are principally in the cities or between cities, and the lack of even passable roads in the rural districts is a crying shame. He said that it is no longer possible 10 en- joy an automobile ride on Sundays or holidays as the congestion on the main roads takes all the cnjoymen. out of riding. In fact. MT. O'Brien said, a person using the main high ways nowadays places in jeopardy the lives of his passengers and him self, as the accident hazard is very great.
 The remedy for existing condi- tions, Mir. O'Brien claimed, was the appropriation of more money for the upkeep of roads in the rural dis tricts of the state. and he promised if elected. to work untiringly for the passage of legislation to bring this about.
 Calling attention to the vast in- come of the state from automobile registration and license fees, fines. and the two-cent tax on gasoline, Mr. O'Brien urged that the state should at least double it's appropria ton for dirt roads and thereby give some relief to the farmers in the outlying parts of the state, not 10 mention the lessening of the dangers to motorists who have the choice of keeping on the main highways and inviting accidents due to congestion ot driving into the country with the chance that they might have 10 spend the night ill their cars mired in the mud.
