 It was noticed yesterday with a good deal of satisfaction, that stones
 were being placed along Main street,
 in front of the Bunnell property, from Church street, west, to mark out per-
 manent curb line. as authorized by the last town meeting. It is hoped this line continue to Broad street, and that in good time both sides of Main street
 have shown the town what a mistake
 1t was to leave wide strip of dirt road way between the curb and the protion
 which has been macadamized. The
 result is a mud bed which makes the
 street difficult to cross and gives in
 telligent citizens the hope that Com missioner Macdonald will not accept the road as it now is In the center of the business district, for the past few days,
 it has been almost impossible to cross the street with any degree of comfort.
