Such a project would last over live months, it is believed. Defin- ite figures on it will be Submitted at the meeting Thursday. The Water company work off Aetna street has nearly been completed. Attorney Talbot reported.
 Pond Street Matter
 During discussion of the Pond street plan, MT Whittemore point ed out that connecting it with Fairview avenue would do away with the necessity of residents of that section travelling so far as they have to do now to get to Rubber avenue. The land owned by Michael Mccarthy could be se- cured handily enough if an effort were to be made to bring it out to Cliff street but one property own CT there wants considerable for hts land, 1t was brought out. How ever, there is an eight-foot right of way belonging tot he public near this land anyhow, MT Whittemore said and this could be used.
 Expense to the town would be small on these projects. Mention of grading job on Spencer street was made. Almost all of the property owners on this street are agreeable to this. MT Beardsley says he does not anticipate any trouble if an attempt is made to eliminate the brook crossing Hun ters Mountains road twice. It could be done and the only ob- stacle might be objection on the part of the Fairchild land own CTS. Some of their cows may use the brook for pasture land now and they could not do 80 if 1t were kept on the other side.
 The proposed High street project again came up for discussion. Mir Beardsley says that by making the wall on the ease side seven feet from the property line the cost estimate could be reduced from $35,O00 to $29,000. A five-foot sidewalk would be laid on the west side.
 Warden Sheridan agreed with MT Beardsley this is something which should be done. MT Beardsley said it was more used that Aetna street, and was in more dangerous con- dition to pedestrains.
 The cost of pipe and manholes on proposed storm sewer near Johnson street was given as $700 by the borough engineer. MT Whit temore in mentioning the Sweeney street stor msewer said 1t would extend 400 feet on Hillside avenue and just a little up Sweeney street. The total expense of the Aetna street job was give mas about $20,000.
 Sheridan Set With Figures
 The intense interest which War den Sheridan shows in EZRA mat ters was shown when Mir Whitte- more, early in the meeting, told the board six dozen shovels were need The warden was apparent all set for this.
 He had list of shovels, picks, crowbars, axes, wheelbarrow and other such implements used on the various EZRA jobs. On the Beth any airport project there are 40 men and 35 shovels, 20 picks, nine crowbars and eight glove axes. There are five shovels four picks and six wheelbarrows with only four men. On the rip-rapp wall there were last Wednesday II men, 16 shovels, Is picks and six crow bars and seven wheelbarrows there Friday. On the Johnson street job there are about 20 men and 23 shovels, he said.
 How come the demand for show els when there seems more shovels than men, was the figurative ques- tion. MT WKhittemore said that what was really wanted was new shovels as many of the old ones have worn out. The yaren't fit for use he said. He said he planned to have me non the rip-rapp wall job soon. This will make the job come along faster, he said. The warden did not agree to order more shov- els, however.
 Bethany Airport Project
 The Bethany road project will be finished in five mode working days, probably by the end of this week, MT Whittemore told the board. The present Johnson street job will be completed by the end of this week. The work on the Jones road will be restarted next wek and should not take long. The South Main street, High street wall project will require Is laborers, 3 masons, one carpenter and one foreman.
 The public building applications have not yet been approved, but MT Bloom advised work on them be continued pending approval by the state. No more white collar projects have been approved, but this sanction is expected daily. All board members were present.
 Distribute Beef Tomorrow
 Fresh beef will again be distrub- uted tomorrow afternoon from the former chamber of commerce building on North Main street. Needy in the borough will get the federal food. A shipment was re- ceived last week. Now that winteer is approaching shipments are arr irving more frequently than was the case in the summer. However there is not the variety of food stuffs yet that were received here last winter.
