.. This matter has been gone into very
carefully previously by this depnro
meat, but it seems to me that the
Town of Norwaik is not instilled in
asking the State to pave this street.
In my opinion, the street, in question'

“wiry Department is such that about all
.wo can do is to take care of trunk
lines roads already constructed by the
State and place and keep them in re
f. .spalr and proper condition. and I can-
