 There is one matter winch we would remind the town council shoald not be overlooked. IL is the condition of the main Dover road leauing out north affer it crosses the railroad. At present this road is in q very bad fix, dlN it iS StibG " bt I'll etiouS anu ilVl altogether uni,,eritcd censHre upon our town If something Is not done for it before it gets in the miserable and al- most impossible condition in which it was last winter. River street should be opened out and put in good condi- ton to the mouth of Hartsell's lane, and the town branch should be bridgcd at the point where the street crosses it. 1 This is matter which can be done ! with less expense to t,e city now than hereafter The longer it is put off the more it will cost to open out the street, and we trust the council will take it under consideration at once. --AeenoN,-~Mr, R.
