ELIHU ROOT,

War Department,
July 6, 1900.
Under present conditions the people
of East. Norwalk especially. are very
greatly Inconvenicnctxi. as, during
,home front their business In South
Norwalk the bridge ls liable to be op
on.
We think the action of lhe‘selecl-
men In the matter will meet with pub
lic approval. It certainly ought to.
Tire selectmcn have also under con-
sideration the liability of the town re
earning the sidoWaiks on the bridge.
It has been the practice for the town
to construct. and keep In repair these
walks. and it is now proposed to as-
certain why. Other property owners
are compelled to lay and keep in re-
pair the sidewalks In front of their
premises.
