ELECTRIC ROAD EXTENSION
 ELIMINATE STEEP GRADE.

Will Not Lay Tracks on Pin Shop Hill
 Quite Decided Change in the Pro-
 posed Route. Surveyors at Work on New Survey-Many at the Sea Shore The trolley route through the lower part of Oakville will be changed from the plans originally laid out. Engi- neer Smith and a corps of assistants have been at work all day surveying and mapping out the changes in the route The extension instead of pass ing along in front of the pin factory on the highway will turn abruptly af- ter crossing the trestle by the stone bridge and pass along the side of the brook in fhe rear of Henry Davis s property. going on the Oakville com pany's land to Edison Peck'S property through Mrs Murtha's and Edward h. graham's gardens and onto the main highway again in front of the post office. This route will keep clear Of the pin shop hill and lessen the grade considerably. If the tracks were to be laid up the pin shop hill it would necessitate the widening of the high way, tearing down several embank- ments and running many of the trees which have stood there for genera tions. This is the plan of the new route now, although it is subject to changes up to the last moment.
 'Vip' Whitney is relating good joke on himself which happened few days ago. MT Whitney moved his trunk from c. E. Warmers, where he had been stopping, and placed it upon a wagon to convey it to his home at the top of Springs hill. In driving along the trunk fell off and Whitney did not discover it until he had gone some dis tance. He returned and found it in the road, but could not lift it upon the wagon on account of it's great weight. He went after assistance and it took four men to put the trunk on the wagon. A number of young men be- hind a stone wall watched them tussle with the trunk, finding it all they could do to restrain themselves from laugh ing outright. They had witnessed the trunk fall and filled it with rocks.
