about to petition the Legislature to be
set off from that town and become a
part of the good old town of Norridgc-
wock And if this arrangement can be-
carried out we shall be glad to welcome
them. Not only are there some of the
finest farmers of the state located there
but they also have some of the fines
farms In the Sandy .iger valley that you
can see In many days travel. For
number of years these farmers have
wanted their town to bull d bridge
across the Sandy river for the convent
ence of the large amount of travel which
goes that way and recently town
meeting was held by which the town
could have voted to build the bridge
without costing them more than $4,000,

try for state and county aid for the
balance and If they could not secure
those to drop the matter for the present.
The vote was against the measure and
