BROOKLYN claims tue best road-surveyor
and best all-around good fellow in Han
cock county. A correspondent writes:
As the season Is approaching when our roads
will receive the usual repairs, and a. we take
pride In having good roads in this town,
perhaps it il not anIi-- to mention that we have
the champion highway surveyor. one of
our former -electmen informs that Amos
T. Herrick has served in the capacity of sur
veyor for forty-two years, and we hope the
present board Of selectmen will continue him
in the good work. When our town bought a
road machine, Mr.. Herrck gave special atten-
ton TO the instructions of the agent who showed
up the difficult points in using 1t, and has
therefore been able to give the benefit of his
knowledge to the men who have from time to
time been employed to handle it. You think
our surveyor an old "hay seed? / guess not ,
He has followed the sea in every capacity from
cook to captain, and can spin a sea-yarn that
will make your hair rise, having braved the
perils of the bank fisheries in the winter months
in the early years of the Gloucester fishery.
AS a horseman, too, he Is famous, having sub
dued vicious horse owned in Ellsworth some
years ago. In fact ne is the man who can do a
good days work, entertain you with thrilling
