MEASURING THE ROADS.

Selectmen Carpenter and Hartshorn
have done considerable travelling of late,
in accordance with the demands of the
new road law, which calls for a measure
ment of the highways in each town
during the month of May, in order
that a basis may be had for the re-
payment of the state road tax to the re-
spective towns.
The work here was nearly completed
last week, the finishing touches being
postponed for few days to allow the
roads to improve somewhat-not few
snowbanks yet remaining in some sec
tions of the town and keeping the high
WAYS in bad shape
When the recess was taken the select
men had measured off * miles, 81 of
which were in the village and the re-
maiuder outside; ii was estimated that
about 20 miles of road yet remained to
be measured, making the total highway
mileage of the town about 90. Summer
vile is credited with FIVE miles of high
way
In some of the Caledonia county towns
the work of measuring goes very slowly
bv reason of bad roads, and the secre'
tary of state will doubtless be asked by
some boards of selectmen for an exten
ton of the time limit within which the
measurement was to be finished.
