It would be proper, perhaps , to invite the county h ighway com­missioner to the meeting, and like­ly Highway Commissioner Stew-nrl of the town of Hardenbergh, But wi th the two except ions it ought to be a gathering of the t a x p a y e r s of the town of Middle-town. You know each o ther and in a genera l conversat ional way someth ing migh t be ini t iated. We Speak of Mr. S tewar t , a s he was in the office dur ing the week and told in an in te res t ing w a y how he met and solved some of the t roublesome problems of road building In his town.

There a r e some 130 miles of un­improved h ighway in this town, and as The News is informed, the township has never expended a dollar for pernanent const ruct ion. i,0.V.V The few miles tha t have been ' l

built, a mile or so a year, lias been by county and s t a l e aid, The re a re th ree dis t ress ing s t r e t ches of

to m i n d - from the Uls te r county line down Millbrook th rough Arena to the intersection of the s t a t e h ighway this side of Duuiaven . the New Kings ton road and Dry Brook. To this might bo added the uncompleted section between Clovesvlllo and Bedell.

Ano the r point is the building of un improved road down the valley. When New York city t akes such land a s sui ts the i r purposed for the reservoir they will relocate all highways which are condemned, If a m o d e m load is submerged, the city will build equally a s good in a new location, and par t ia l ly completed h ighways will be com­pleted by the city on the new thoroughfare .

If any number of t a x p a y e r s a r e sufficiently in te res ted In the out­lined meet ing to acquaint The News office with their wishes, Supervisor Dugan and Commis­sioner Rosa will lix a date in the nea r future at the Gall-Curcl
