petition dated Feb. 20, 1887, for the laying
out OF road from New Sweden to Fort X ent in
TINS county, under the provisions of section Al.
chapter Is, r. s., was presented TO the County
commissioners at an adjourned session of their
January term, 1887, held March IA. 1887. Upon
this petition the Commissioners ordered notice
for hearing on June 9Th, following, which notice
was given. On June 9Th the hearing was had
route and on June is 1857 they adudsed the
road 10 be a common convenience and necessity
earth.
The regular sessions of the County Commits
sioners for Aroostook county, as provided by law
are held on the first Tuesday of January and July
The January term, 1887, of the Commissioners
was adjourned finally on the first day Of june
AT the July term, 1887, the Commissioners re-
port on the laying out of the road was made and
plae on file, and the Commissioners, at the
building the road upon lands over which it was
ald under the provisions of section 10 Of chapter
70 he a6 pr ba aat a the ~ u.s.
County Commissioners after the road is laid out
The cause of error assigned in the petition for
certlOrar was that the assessment was not made
AT the nrst regular term OF the County Commits
sioners after the road was laid out, but at the
same ERIN and the answer of the Commissioners
was that the assessment was made at their first
regul term after the road was laid out.
The foregoing facts were admitted, and the pre-
siding justice ruled, pro JorDtd, as ma ter OF law
that the assessment was made at the first regular
session of the County Commissioners after the
road was LAID over the lands, and denied the petit
tlon. The, petitioner filed exceptions, and the
case goes forward.
The question thus raised is whether the road
became legally established when the Commits
sioners viewed the route and made the location on
June 18th, OF when they made and placed their
reporI on file at the July term. The case involving
about $40 .OOu In assessments, and is one of con-
siderable interest.

CITY REPORTS.
c,rx CIVIL ENGINEER


Under the lead of new streets, with which
the report opens, is given description of
the new streets laid out during the year, of
which there are six in the city proper. and
one each on Peaks and Long Islands. Un-
der the head of street lines and grades are
cited several slight changes of grade, in
volving no damage. No change of line has
been made. Lines have been given for build
ing purposes In so instances and grades in
104, apart from lines and grades for sewers.
Under the head of Eastern Promenade an
account of the change in the grading of the
driveway and grasses is given, and a quota
ton made from former report, relative to
the Fort Allen lot. opposite the head of
Morning street. which should be controlled
by the city. Under the head of ferry way
and works, description is given OF the To-
stantial character Of all parts of the work
and a full description Of the drop. the posi-,
BILE load to which 1t might be subjected, and
the strength of the wood and iron which are
combined to sustain that load, with safety
factor of from four to II in its various mem
bers.. Under the head of surveys, plans and
proiles, is long list Of this variety. OF work
in all parts of the city. A paragraph Is de-
voted to street monument stones. Under
the head OF real estate on Long Island is a
recital of the copying of the title deeds of es-
tate on the island and the laying down Of the
same on. large scale plan OF the island
now underway.
Under sewers, culverts. etc., Is given full
account OF construction and repairs of sew
sers and their appurtenances, with table
giving details of sewers constructed during
the year, and another of all sewers now
maintained by the city; also a statement of
expense on this account during the year.
Under the head of marginal way, the circum-
stances attending the contracting for this
work, and the reasons for extending the
time OF its completion are stated. 1t is re-
marked that inaSmuch as the street Is Of val
ne to the city only as part of the great pub
lie Improvement of filling the cove fats, the
delay :s not so much to be regretted, and
that the work done on it, as an indispensa-
BILE part OF that Improvement. which must
sooner or later go on, is worth all 1t has cost,
as so much done towards completion at a
time when means were available for it.
A paragraph is devoted to the city bound
airy line in the valley north of behring's
Oaks. The channel of the crooked creek is
the boundary. The flats in the valley should
be covered with a few feet of earth, in which
case the boundary line should be straight
ened by giving and taking equal areas on
each side OF 1t, and the creek diverted at
Grove street through conduit to the mill
pond sewer. The report closes with state
ment of the unusually large amount of of
flee work during the year, comprising plans
and computations for the ferry way, and for

The Chas. z. Lewis.

Mr.. Michael Whalen. No. 80 Salem street.
received telegram Saturday, from Mr.. Robt.
Elliott, Cbarlestown Navy Yard, saying he
had heard from James Whalen. one of the
crew Of the bark Chas. R. Lewis, aud that
Whalen was well at Southern port, and
that letter, with particulars, was on the
way here. While not disputing the genuine
ness of the despatch, the owners do not be-
lieye that the man referred to was on the
Lewis when she left port last, although the
man is on the ships papers. If it was all
right, they argue, the captain would have
been heard from.
