After the Bradford road to Lake
Morey $50 called) was surveyed and
laid out, but before work was begun
on it, John Davis proposed changing
the route across the Davis farm so it |
would go from the edge of the woods |
down the hollow by the brook and |
across the corner of the field, thus CIV
ing very gradual, easy grade and
avoiding all steep hills. Although |
there was to be no more land damage |
and over $40 was subscribed toward |
making the change, it was not done.
Last fall G. W. Sampson, o. n. Rem
frew, w. S. Smalley and others made |
for their own convenience narrow
sled road along part of the proposed |
route from the woods to the foot of |
the ''steep hill" and the fact that all
teams have travelled the narrow sled
road, and not a track has been made
over the cores pending part of the
highway since the storm of March 6,
seems evidence thatNhe travelling pub
lie would have preferred the propos-
ed route to the one taken.
