FRIDAYS TOWN MEETING.
To Act on the Good Road Question.

There seems to be a misconception
 on the part of some as to what the
 object of the town meeting to be held
 to-day (Friday) is. AS we under
 stand it is to ask the State Highway
 Commissioner for an appropriation of $10,O0O to improve the highway from the head of Newtown Street to the Monroe line. This is in addition to the s1O,0OO voted in 1907. making
 $20,000 in the whole, the $10,000 voted in 1907 being unexpended. If this is voted it does not mean that the taxpayers will be called upon to pay $20,000. The most they will be called upon to pay in any event will be 25 percent of this, viz. 5000, but the chances are that if the vote to appropriate $10,000 is carried not over half vii! be accepted by the state, owing to the fact that there is not sufficient funds to meet it; if so Newtown's share would be 25 per cent of $15.O00 or $3750, and it may be less. Suppose that only $250O of the $10,0UG will be available; this would make Newtown's share in the whole $3125. To this the state adds $9,375, making $12,500 in the whole. which is used as far as it will go from the head of Newtown Street to the Monroe line, where the balance will be furnished by the state from the trunk line fund of $1,5O0,00O as appropriated by the state for that purpose throughout the state. If this is accomplished over five and one quarter miles of road including two cement bridges will be built and when completed the state will pay 75 per cent of keeping it in repair and the town the remaining 25 per cent. This seems a good opportunity to get a good road through to Mon roe line and at a fair cost to New town taxpayers. We also understand that the road will be kept in repair by frequent treatment with trap rock chips to be furnished by the state, the town carting the same. The Bee believes the action of the town meet ing will be favorable.

METHODIST CHURCH.
Visitation of District Superintendent N.. Adams.

The next quarterly meeting will be held in the church on Tuesday, November 30. The ladies of the church intend serving nice dinner at 12 o'clock for 25c and it is hoped that it will be well patronized. It will be a day of privilege as the district superintendent, Dr Adams, will preach at 1.3O o'clock. AS he ex- poets to go from this district soon, in all probability this will be his last sermon. Dr Adams is greatly appre- ciated here and it is with much regret that the church here is so soon to lose his wise and very able ministra- tions. The meeting of the stewards is appointed for il o'clock. Dinner at 12 noon. Preaching at 1.S0 p. m., after which will be meeting of the trustees. All the friends are in- vited to take dinner and remain at the preaching service at 1.30 o'clock.
