 1t has been the prevailing opinion that the town intended to widen the highway in front of the Buckingham property along the entire length of the green, taking down the bank and re moving the large elm trees which have stood there for many years. This re- port caused no end of comment among different citizens who regretted to learn of this movement on the part of the town officials. In the first place such plan is looked upon as quite un- necessary and detrimental to the ap- pearance of the green which is one of the prettiest localities in the center of Watertown Selectman Lockwood was seen in regard to the matter and denied that any such movement had been contemplated on the towns part He said that in accordance with the recent surveys ordered by the town and completed by the surveyors the stone boundary lines were being set up to designate the exact amount of prop erty owned by the town. Hence the green is not to be disturbed or the elm trees removed.

 Watertown. Sept Il, 1901. Editor Democrat:
 Dear Sir-There has been so much talk. hurry and enthusiasm for the trolley for some time past. At present there seems to be a quietness spread ing over the scene of operations and reports to the effect that the road won't get to Watertown this year.
