ing to induce the towns 10 extend aid so as to

They. no doubt think that people on this

are greatly mistaken. If they build the road
to Londonderry and it proves to have the ca
pacity its friends claim for it we are confident
It win not be allowed to stop there. We are
not quite rs enthusiastic in regard to the two
foot gauge rs our neighbors of Windham
county are perhaps for the reason that none
of us have ever seen road of this grade IN
