purpose and their return home is duS not
to any failings for which they are re-
sponsible. but to many little things
which the surgeons do not consider it

SOUTH PORTLAND.

A special hearing was held SATURDAY
afternoon at three O'Clock in the Town
hall before the board of Selectmen on the
petition of the Cape Elizabeth electrics to
lay track over Meeting House hill.
The company was represented by It's
attorney, Hon. Clarence Hale, and the
petition applies for an extension of the
road from the junction of Broadway with
Cape Cottage road to the corner OF Angel
avenue and Cape Cottage road in the
village of Willard, emerging there into
the main line to Cape Cottage. The pro
posed route shortens the distance to the
terminus from the city by about three
fourths of mile.
Inc proposed extension was opposed Dy
some OF the citizens of the heights In the
nelghborhood of the town hall and Mr..
.. o. Kaler entered strong protest
claiming that the town had given the
road all that was proper; that the road
mad not Kept Its promises to the property
owners and that his section of the town
was being used as nursery for the ferry,
He made inquiries as to the condition Of
the road and thought it must be in an
Impoverished condition If the needed
three-eighths of mile could not be con-
structed to reach the town hall
Mr.. Il. A. Parker addressed himself to
the interests of the school and urged an
extension OF the road in the direction Of
the town hall with view of accommodate
ting the school children and referred to
the present method of carrying children
in barges
Replying to all this Mr.. Krutz % vice
president and general manager of the com
pany. stated that the corporation had
spent good deal of money and was
anxious to meet the views of the citizens
OF South Portland, but just at this time
1t was extremely desirable, in view of the
needs 81 summer travellers, that the route
TO the Cape Cottage be shortened. In
Time he hoped to satisfy the wishes of
everybody.
1t was decided by the board of select
men that no formal decree be issued at
once but that on Tuesday afternoon next
an inspection be made of the proposed
route, and to this end the board will
meet ON that day at two O'Clock p. M.
corner Broadway and Cottage road.

The work of macademizing Oak street
from Congress to Free, was begun tho
past week and it was thought by manv
that the project of the Portland Rai,rooJ
company to lay the road through Oak efo
Free street had been abandoned, although
Law their rails. Inquiry was made at the
railway office last night and it was learned ned
that the material for completing the road

start before fall as it was quite an ex-
pense and was not deemed advisable to
complete it this summer.
