County Commissioners,

The County Commissioners were in ses-
sion from the 2Gth ult. until yesterday.
Closing up the County business of the
year, and assessing a road tax upon the
plantations In the County.
They have received petition to lay out
a piece of road that is in the three towns
Cambridge. Dexter and Sangerville, and
consequently in the three counties, Som
erset, Penobscot and Piscataquis. This
proposed road is only about one mile
ong but being in 3 counties will require
the combined power of three boards of
County Commissioners to act upon it, and
the petition will have to be advertised in
each of the 3 counties and in the State
paper beside. The Somerset Commits
soners have suggested the Sd. Tuesday in
May for hearing on this petition, and
that date will probably be fixed for 1t.

About Dogs

To the Editor OF the Reporter:
As have taken your paper for the
last four years ! thought l would have a
word to say on dogs. This town is overrun
with ours of all kind and think 1t is high
time there was some step taken. 1t is
not safe for a child to walk the streets.
Why cant we have something done to
clear this trouble out? Why not take the
step they have taken in Boston and else
where? Appoint some good man that
knows his business to look right after
them and every one that is not licensed
give him, or her dose of lead and then l
think we shall hope to show better grade
of dogs.
Now look out for this little town.
Make 1t safe town to live In as well as
to work in. While l am writing this
there are Fix t>gs in front of my house.
Not half Of the dogs that are kept are
licensed. When assessors come around
in the spring they kick their dog out and
say they have no dog and as soon as the
assessors are gone they call in the dog.
Hope you will take notice of this.
