Here came in the only "scrap'' of the
meeting. Col. Hooker moved that the ar

selectmen. The case in reference TO the
road is now in allegiance before the supreme
court, and Col. Hooker considered il wise
to wait until a decision is given.
Il. w. Stoddard introduced as a sinh
stitute resolution THAT the selectmen
be and are hereby instructed to build the
road in the spring and summer of 1898.
and to take such action in relation to the
case now pending as may seem necessary. I"
Mr.. Stoddard said the question was wheth-
er the conditions of the past four years
were to continue. The dangerous condi-
tion of the Vernon road is well known.
The request was first made that the rail-
road tracks be removed from the highway

done was circulated; then a petition was
presented To the county court and com
