The County Commissioners have just given
an examination and hearing at North Wayne,
to the petitioners for new road from North
Wayne to Readfield, distance of three
miles. They then decided not to build the
road, and that the petitioners have leave to
withdraw. This decision was unanimous.
The new road would be no better than the
present, nor would it materially lessen the
distance. Besides it would entail an expense
of some $1,000 upon the county and towns,
which they cannot afford to bear.
