4 special town meeting will be held at
the Opera House on Thursday, July goth,
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon to act on the
following articles: "2d. To see if thetown
will grant leave to the Norway and
Western Railroad to pass along the high
WAYS and town ways of said town, &C
cording to the plans for location of said
railroad filed with the railroad commits
sioners of the state of Maine. Article ).
To see if the town will vote to discon
Time the private way laid out by the
selectmen, on Petition of Fred ). Frost
and Others, and accepted by the town at
the annual town meeting last past" 1t is
understood that the plan indicates the
passage of the railroad along the souther-
ly side of the lake road between the
highway and the steep bank on the
south. This leaves the northerly side of
the lake road unprotected in any way
against the dangers of the lake shore
bank from two to six feet high. There
is a strong feeling that the railroad
should 90 on the lake side of the road
and bear the heavy expense incident
thereto. The petitioners Interested in
the Frost private way have settled the
difficulty between themselves, and Mr..
Fred S. Frost will travel the old private
way with certain rights and privileges
conceded to him.
