AN UNWISE PRACTICE.
Complaints have been made to the
selectmen that teamsters on Leicester
hill have been taking big stones from
walls to block the wheels so the horses
could rest, and then leaving the stones
in the road. The rocks are big enough to
overturn small sleigh and are danger
GUS things to have in the road at night.
The street commissioner will be notified
to remove the rocks, and if any more
are left In the road the ones who do so,
if caught, could be taken up for OBJ
structing the highways. The selectmen
appreciate the efforts of the teamsters
to rest their jaded steeds, but want all
to remove the stones that no one else
may be injured by running over them.
