A resident of East Norwaik speak-

trict's streets. notably Rowan street,
called attention to the great change
that has taken place in the neigh~
borhood of First street since the
thoroughfare was properly paved.
Where once the houses were either
carelessly kept up or allowed to go
altogether without attention, the
section now presents something
nearer the appearance of a. prosper-
