Rev. Mr. Dixon, whose fine lecture de
lighted large number Of citizens, Monda,
night, was one OF the visitors on the floor o.
the House yesterday forenoon.
Ju ige Stearns yesterday presented peti
ton sent him by the county commissioner,
Of Aroostook, praying for the repeal Of chap
ter l2s of the revised statutes in relation tc
county roads, The commissioners of Wash
ington county have also petitioned for the
repeal of the same law. 1t is claimed thai
the law is inconyenient and expensive. Il
/ is urged that before the enactment Of the
! present law the inhabitants of plantations
like those of towns, broke out their own
roads IN winter. and that they now wait for
the commissioners 10 open the roads, no
matter how far they may be from the com
mlsslnners or what the expense may be 10
the county. This, il is claimed, is not only
unjust 10 the taxpayers but often keeps the
roads impas sable for considerable time TO
the great Inconvenience of the travelling pub
lic.
The large map of the town of Boothbay
which hangs back of the committee tables
