WORK
Continued tram first Pane
tion of the city.
Joel L. Brush, president of the Bell
. Island improvement Association, was?
the first to be given the iloor and he'.
stated that during the past five or six?
years Bell Island had not cost the city'
a very great amount of money. Then-i
property lists totalled $323,000 and.
their taxes last year were a little over .
$5,000. in spite of all this, the resi-
dents of that place receive no lighting
appropriation or police protection. and
their roads and highways are in. very.
bad condition it was now time. he
concluded, that an appropriation be
made them for permanent work and
repairs on their roads. 1
Charles C. Perry. secretary of the
Bell island Association. stated that,
because ot the heavy traffic over their
roads. they Were practicaly worn out.j
The- residents had hired a man. at'
their own expense. to care for and re- .
pair the highways. but this year they
were/in such a condition to be beyond ,
repair by any one man. I
J. S. \Vhitéside, vice~president oi
the association, told the members of.
the board that it wasnot the resi-.
dents of Bell island who were respon- *
sible for the wearing out of the roads. f
but people- traveling to and from Ro-
ton Point. Bell island is the only pos-
soble method of entrance and egress
to Roton Point and the great traffic
has played havoc with the roads, and
he suggested that the city repair the
road. known as the west entrance,
from Roton Point to Rowayton. as
this would. to some extent. relieve the
traffic through Bell Island.
Mr. Whitsside made this suggestion
of improvements on’ the Rowayton
road under the assumption that it was
owned by! the city, but Mayor Dono-
van straightened matters and inform-
ed Mr. Whitesidc that the road in
question was owned and cotnrollt-d by
the Connecticut Company. and. fur-
ther. stated that it would be advisable
if the association took the matter up
with the company oflicials rather than
with the Board of Estimate and Taxa-
tion.
City Engineer lltnry R. Minor prom-
ised the gentlemen from Bell island
that he would do‘plerything possibil-
to put their roads in' better shape. He
had started a number of men on this
work. but, unfortunately. his supply of
materials had run out. bu: another
carioad Was expcclr-d within a few
days. and work on llio‘ xomls would be
at once resumed.
in behalf of the bridge C(lllllillllm‘,
John F. McMahon appeared and askml
if it was true that no provision had
been made,- in the budget for the com-
mittee. who were urgently In m-wi of
