n EW PLAN
For the State
Work.
WILL SAVE MONEY.
Leicester Republicans POST
poned Celebration.

Leicester, Nov. "A Spy man was
told on excellent authority today that
plan has been made by the state
highway commission by which so per
cent of the cost of the section of state
highway between its present terminus
and the Spencer line can be saved. If
the state lays macadam in the present
highway the distance to be built next
year will be about 5000 Ieet The course
of the present road between Leicester
and Spencer takes a circular course,
and there is a big ledge of rock to be
blasted. about 800 feet beyond Bander's.
The new plan is to continue in a near
ly direct line to Daniel Rice'S house
from Bander's. The distance of the
proposed new route will be about $500
feet, so that just about 800 feet will
be taken from the cost of building the
highway The land over which it is
proposed to run the road is nearly level
and there will be no blasting to delay
the work. 1t is expected the surveyors
will arrive in town to lay out the route
next week. The land to be taken for
the street is owned principally by Ed
ward Warren. This route was laid out
several years ago, but the plan OF
changing the roadbed was abandoned.
sixth representative district has left a
majority of the republicans very sore,
while the Bottomly supporters and
those who voted the straight democrat
tic ticket may be said TO be fairly hap
py Bottomly was not supposed to stand
much of a show for reelection, and his
supporters are glad Of the downfall Of
their bitter political enemy, John W.
Boardman. The leaders of the Board
man campaign, who relied on a Board
man majority over Marchessault in
Spencer, are bitter against spencer re-
publicans They said they relied on
the estimate of the Spencer republican
town committee and are very sore over
the republican defeat. Preparations
were made for a grand celebration in
Rochdale last night, but no democrats
had the heart to ask the republicans
for the loan of the supplies and all the
republicans were sick at heart.
