WILL KEEP HIS WORD.

when 1 get ready to open Beacon
Park for the season, ! will find a way
to do So said Lawyer Edgar S.
Hill in an interview to the Webster
correspondent of The Spy a week ago.
MIR. Hill has kept his promise, and the
crossing will be opened this week.
Mr.. Hill appeared before the board of
selectmen this neon, and talked with
them nearly an hour relative to the sit
uation. He explained it to them COM
prehensively.
Mr.. Hill has taken out lease from
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad for the crossing. There
is a proviso, however, that lessee will
stand responsible for all damages in
CURED by accidents. at the crossing.
Mr. Hill has received a letter from the
officials of the road, that they will send
men at once to fill in the bitches and
plank the same. and make the crossing
passable. Mr.. Hill thinks that the
town of Webster, as they own land
there, should partially relieve some of
the responsibility from him, and with
that object in view, appeared before the
board this noon. His object was to
have them sign the lease, but the board
probably will not.
Mr.. Hill says that he will not allow
any of the other land owners to go over
the crossing unless they sign the lease
with him. George S. Corbin is one Of
! the owners that will. Maurice Nav
nard, Il. ParQuette and the Misses Sla-
ter will not.
Mr.. Hill will erect substantial gates
on both sides of the crossing and dur
ing the summer months, when Beacon
Park is open, will have a Waterman
there all the time, So much for his
enterprise and welfare of the town.
