THE ROAD HEARING.
A Fight TO Be Made ia the Coombs Mills
Manchester Road Case.

The Coombs Mills-Manchester Road
case that is coming up soon for a hear
ing before the referees, was discussed
at the city government meeting.
Thursday evening. great fight viii
he made 10 influence the referees to
see the matter in the light that the city
government sees il, which is in the
way of the utter uselessness of the
road. the impraciicllility and the great
expense necessary TO construct ana
maintain such road. This road was
ordered built by the county commits
sioner several years ago upon the Pc
tition Of many Augusta and Manches-
ter men. many OF the former Of whom
now say they did not know that the
road meant what il does. and that 1t
was represented to them that it would
be good thing FOR the city.
The road in question leads from
Coombs Mills to a place on the Man
chester road distance Of two miles
1t runs along in one place. a land where
it will, 50 it is said, cost many dollars
to keep in repair and in one other
place over hard hills. Then the Doggy
Bond brook is crossed four times In the
short distance. The expense is estima-
ted from $4,000 TO $4,000 at the start.
The municipal officers petitioned the
county commissioners. last year. for
the discontinuance. 4 hearing was
held at which the city sought to prove
the uselessness of the road by 4 topo-
graphical map OF that section Of the
county. The commissioners refused to
reverse their order for its construction
on account Of the large petition that
had been presented for it at the first
The city appealed and it went 10 the
supreme court. The court appointed
as committee Of reference Hon. Fred
erick Danforth of Gardiner. Josiah
Bassett of Winslow, and Hon Charles

give a fair decision. They have noti-
fled the municipal officers that they
will meet at the aldermen's room.
Thursday. August at 10 4. NJ. when
they will visit the scene of the pro
posed road and then return for 4 hear
ing. probably though there will not be
time for the full hearing that day
The city government has authorized

case. For one thing he will cndclvor

Will cndeavor to secure one as large. If
not larger. than the one presented for
the building of the road. He will also
try to have many Of the repres antativp
men present at the hearing to give TIL"
reason why. as he deems it. the city
should pay out $1,000 for the road thai
will be next to useless and is needless
True, Manchester has built its section
of the road costing 5000, but that sec
ton connects two other roads and was
needed
The hearing will doubtless be a warm
one as some of the people in that sec
ton to be accommodated are decidedly
in favor of the road. At the same time
Augusta will fight it to the very finish.
