The town meeting in the interest of
the proposed trolley, held last week
Tuesday, was we'll attended and the
feeling was unanimous that we would
do all we could to encourage the build
ing of the road. The surveyor reports
very easy grade on the route. The
steepest grade found is only a rise Of
five feet in one hundred. The layout
through the Center is on the east side
of the road. Many think the west
side would be the best. e. A. Alvord
and Rollin HI. Harrison were present

of the road being built seems to be fav-
