ROAD TO SHELRURNE
Citizens Meet to Discuss Better High
wav.


A number of citizens gathered at the Van
Ness House Tuesday afternoon at the
call of Mayor Hawley to consider the
project of building a permanent road be-
tween Burlington and Shelburne under the
conditions of an offer made by DR.. w.
Seward Webb. who announced that he
would be willing to assume one-third of
the expense. The matter was discussed TO
some extent. after which an adjournment
was TAKEN subject to the call Of the
mayor.
City Engineer McInt osh has made a sur
vey of the road. In regard to the matter
he says:
"rhe estimated cost of a 6-inch macadam
roadway IA feet wide and "a 800 feet or 4.66
miles in length is s27, 1875. 81. This estimate
includes draining but does not include any
material change of grade.
To reduce the maximum grade from 100
per cent to 3.5 per cent. near the LaPlatto
river in Shelburne, also to make some
minor changes at Spauldng's. Drew's and
Gove's, we estimate a cost OF s1i,72091.
Another subdivision may be made as
follows: In the town of South Burlington
there are $50 feet of the road. For this
distance, the macadam road as above de-
scribed, is estimated to cost sll. 5i+ 80. in
Guiding drainage. The proposed change of
grade in this section would be $3.50, max
ing total of sl2,312,42 for the proposed
construction in the town of South Burling-
ton.
In the town of Shelburne there arc 10, 100. 0
feet of the proposed Improvement and the
estimated cost of the macadam roadway.
as described above, would be SIS, 35. and
the proposed change Of grade would be
s12.a534l; making a total expenditure in
the town of Shelburne of SO, COS. 10

OF THE STRIFE IN THE COUNCIL
King Mmmouth's council was assem-
bied at the time of my coming, and my
entrance caused the utmost surprise and
JOY. as they had just heard news Of my
sore danger. Even the royal presence
could not prevent several members
among whom were the old mayor ana

20 their feet and shaking me warmly by
The hand. Monmouth himself said few
gracious words and requested that

others.
