State Highway Commissioner Melon
aid was In town last Wednesday and in
spected the road at West Stafford. Mr.
Mcdonald will not recommend that this
strip be macadamized, but will probably
favor gravel. Mcdonald has slaughtered
every attempt that has been made to gel
macadamized road In Stafford for th'
past year and half. 1t Is extremely diff
ficult to get him to come here at all, ant
when he finally does come it is said tha
he has his veto all written and folded Ii
his breast pocket. He goes through thu
farce of looking at the strips under con
sideration, draws out his veto and readl
it. He held the same position that h'
does now when the first strip was put II
at Stafford, and approved 1t. Last spring
after long delay, he came on and ad
Weed against a continuance betweel
Hydeville and Staffordville on the groundl
that the road was good enough without
The section of highway under considera
tion was no better than that which hae
previously been macadamized. Othe
towns have no trouble In getting macad
amized road, and the people here wonde
why the discrimination Is used.
