Ames hill could now be utilized as a
pleasure drive. Road Commissioner
rerry is making an effort to have all
the roads in the outer districts re-
paired by June 18th, to accommodate
the pleasure driving, which will begin
in force about that time. The search
ty of laborers retards the work in the

: pie street. They will not wander
J away from home so far again for some
+ little time probably. They were sent
