ROAD BUILDERS IN COUNCIL.

The annual meeting of the road com
missioners of Washington county was
held Thursday at the Pavilion. All ex-
cept four of the commissioners of the
county were present.
Those who answered to roll call by
State Highway Commissioner Sanford
were G. w. Pratt, Berlin; j. M.
Southwick, Cabot; H. L. Lyford,
Cabot Village; L. Q. Parker, Calais

Wheeler, Worcester. With the 'act
to improve the public roads, enacted
into law by the Legislature of 1898,
and the accompanying circular sent
out by him as a text State Commits
sioner Sanford talked an hour at the
morning session. He was listened to
with intense interest. In opening
Mr.. Sanford referred to the interest
shown in road building throughout
the State, which is constantly increas-
ing. He deplored the fact that in
Washington county last March five
road commissioners were turned down
and new men were elected in their
places. This is all wrong unless those
turned out were unfit for Office.
In some towns the selectmen are
hindering the work, because they
know nothing about road building
They and some of the heavy tax pay
ers find fault with the road commits

In accordance with the circular let

err, Mr.. Sanford said no State aid
would be given this year except for
building permanent roads In this
connection he gave some excellent ad-
vice as to where and how to build
such permanent highway.
In speaking of permanent road build
ing Mr.. Sanford very highly com
mended the work done in this city by
Commissioner Roberts, and referred
to the streets of this city and the
Worcester branch road as models that
any town or city in the State might
well initiate.

talk by Mr. Sanford every road com.

gave him, but that this year he should

Commissioner Sanford continued the

the matter of road building the great

has to face, even greater than the
problem of maintaining good schools

the method of letting out road build

KETCHUM'S TRIAL.

The rotten condition of the books of
the Farmers National bank of Yer
gennes was fully exposed on Tuesday
by the government at the second day S
trial of John W. Ketchum of Yer
gennes, charged with completely in
wrecking that institution. The ex-
posures were of startling nature and
showed that by the various methods
of padding by reducing depositors
accounts or re-charging checks and
other false entries, that the actual
standing of some of the depositors and
the true condition of the bank could
not be ascertained from the books
within thousands of dollars,
The details of the dishonest manipu-

cashier, ex-teller of the bank and
