Selectman Harper and Engineer Eddy
have been surveying some of our roads
for some time past. Whether this is q
commencement in the matter of laying
out boundaries on all our roads or not is
not known. II it Is, then the selectmen
are taking step in the right direction.
Poor boundaries have made more trouble
for the selectmen and the people of Wat
ertown and have cost more with less re-
suits than any one thing in the town af-
fairs. To lay out boundaries it has been
from tree to rock and SO on; then
the tree Is cut down and the rock blasted
out and the work has to DE done all over
again.
