The water was so high in the lake last
week that the waves broke over into the
highway and did some damage to the
sides of the road.
1t is understood that the municipal
officers of the town will be requested to
call on the county commissioners to
designate the highway running along the
lake as the main thoroughfare in town
in order that it shall be hereafter known
as state road and thus bring it within
the provisions of Chapter 2S5 of the
laws of 1901. BY this law towns estab-
fishing state roads are complying with
said law, and may receive from the state
one-half the amount actually expended
in permanent improvements of said
roads not exceeding one hundred dol
lars per year. This year the town of
Norway voted the sum of one thousand
dollars, in addition to the amount regu-
larly raised for bridges and highways,
to be expended on the lake road, which
is the main travelled road of the town.
Any one who rides over this road soon
realizes the necessity of something being
done to improve it.
