THE PUBLIC STILL LIVE IN HOPE.
 When oh when! will this new road which we hear so much about be com. menced? An appropriation for the purpose of building the piece of gravel road was made at town meeting last
 spring. It has taken since then to get the matter under way. Plans, protilee, specifications, estimates and thousands of yards of red tape have been used up since then. Still the road has not put in an appearance. A great many people wonder where the fault is. Some Iay 1t to the seIectmen. Some to the con- missiOners,and some to the law. We are of the opionion that the law is where the trouble comes in. The intent of this bill when first introduced in the Legis- lature was to have the etate take hold of this whole matter of road building and to make roads to the satisfaction of the state regardless of the towns. But it was found that any such bill introduced just then would be killed. So the pres ent act entitled; ''Au act to provide for The improvement of public roads," was brought in and passed. It was thought that by leaving the building of the roads still in the hands of the town authorities, even though they had to do the work as the state directed, it would look less arbi- trary than if the work was done directly by the state. So far the whole matter has evidently been to the town fathers a weariuess of the spirit and has furnished the public something to kick about. At last report & man named Abbott had talk en the contract to build this precious piece of road at 99c per running foot. We still live Tn hope.

ACTION OF ENGINEER FRAY SAVES A

ACTION OF ENGINEER FRAY SAVES A
 LIFE.
 Last Saturday evening a man got caught on the trustle near the Water bury brass mills at the time the G.12 train was coming towards Watertown. The man was about an equal distance from each end of the trestle and evident ly thought the quickest way to get off was to drop through. He failed to reck- on, however, that he might be too blg to go through such 8 small space, but that is just what happened. And there he was with his head just about the right height above the track to get taken off by the cowcatcher. However, Engineer Fray brought his train to standstin just in time to avert serious consequent ces. It is said that the man was so tight ly wedged in the trestle that it took six men to pull him out.
