The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-06-08

Warden Frank T. Green who was named a committee at the last meet ing of the board of warden and burgesses to handle the matter of dirt road appropriations with the state highway department announ- ced this morning that the borough will accept the option of the state furnishing oil for all street of the borough where 1t is desired to use 1t. The amount of the borough's share is $17,500. Warden Green stated that he had signed no papers with the state highway department officials as yet as he desired to have the board discuss the matter first. In the opinion of the warden the oiling proposition Is the best one for the borough to accept. In addi- tion to oiling the state will furnish gravel and road material wherever 1t is desired to regrade dirt roads. The state however, will not furnish sand for oiling. As many of the streets have been previously oiled there is not much outside district work to be done and the borough may use tho iol on any street that they see fit.
 With this in view the program of oiling will be halted for the time being to be resumed after July l, as the money from the state will not be available until after that date, when the state starts its fiscal year. The borough has already done consider able street oiling, but the state will not allow for the work already done. It was however, stated that the money unspent this year will be available before the close of the state fiscal year next year.
 To Build Bridges
 Bids on contracts to erect two bridges on the Naugatuck- Millville road and to construct a section of gravel road have been called for by the state highway commissioner. It is the intention to erect the bridges this year. The bridges in question are to be erected across the raceway west of the town farm property. The work is the continuation of improv- ing this road by state aid started some time ago. The borough has considerable credit with the state for carrying on this work.
