Although thoroughly convinced that
'iRoman road has proven itself a lemon,
and that the city would be better off
if some other form of road was laid in
the streets upon which Roman road is'
to be laid under the contracts, Mayor
‘Robert M. Wolfe thinks it a wise plan
to give this character of road a test,
if Contractor Joseph ‘A. McElroy can
be induced to hold up his contract un-
til the test can be made In the event
of a. failure to have Contractor Mddl-
roy agree to the proposition, Mayor
[Wolfe proposes to put the matter
squarely before the citizens at a city
meeting to settle.
Roads, their building, the Roman
road,, contractors and numerous other
issues, All a like connection, were dis-

meeting of the Connecticut ice Deal-
ers'. mutilation at the Hotel Taft yes-
terday, the total ice harvest this year
