A petition has been received at the
Office of the State commissioner of high
ways signed by c. L. Jones and 247
others, being a majority of the legal
voters Of the town of CorinEa. which
states that in their judgment the State
road as now designated by the county
commissioners is not the main travelled
thorougEfare in that town and that
public convenience would be better
served by the designation of the fol-
lowing named State road, to wit: the
road beginning on the st. Adams road
on the westerly line of Corinna and
running through Comma village on the
Exeter road to the easterIy line of Cor
lima. A hearing on the petition has
been ordered held at the office of the
selectmen in Corinna at 1.3O r. M.

in patrolling the woods and hundreds
of men are at work on fires, many of

orally having been cXtinguished with q
