At the special town meeting last
Friday evening resolution was pre-.
sented by w. III. Hall appropriating
the sum of $4,000, to be used under
the direction of the selectmen and
highway commissioner, for the i'm
provement of highways in town. The
resolution called forth some debate,
and the fact that bushes needed out
ting by the sides of the roads about
town was advanced as an argument
against using the appropriation for
the purpose stated. The sentiment
of the meeting, however, was in IA
vor of the brush cutting and the state
road. The resolution was carried
without change. F. Wayland Pratt,
