Seleetmen Re- Establishing Boundary
Lines-Pastor and Family Move tc
Parsonage-Mrs. n. r. Yeomans 81
Years Old.

The selectmen of this and some of
the adjoining towns are experiencing
cons iderAble difficulty in accurately To-
eating the town bonds. In many in
stances the boundary line where 1t
crosses farm property is marked by a
pile of stones" and such bounds are
often removed through Ignorance or
carelessness. 1t can readily be seen
that such a removal would result in
considerable confusion and trouble es-
pecially if it happened to be a corner
bound where three towns meet. Town
bounds should be of such permanent
character that no difficulty would be
experienced in locating them, and it Is
the intention Of the selectmen to make
them so if possible and thus avoid fu-
ture trouble.
