The communication from Mr.
Bardo is in reply to a recent letter
sent to the New Haven road by
Chairman John Mills and Secretary
R. \V. Sweeney, Jr.. of the New in?
can avenue railroad crossing com-
mittee. This letter told officials at
the New Haven road that the poo- .
ple of Norwalk consider the New,

of the most dangerous crossings in
the city; one whiéb should be cum-
inated. The letter further stoic-.1
