holders.
The claim for damages to Sarah
Doughty's wagon against the county was
referred to road committee at previous
meeting. They investigated the claim
and their findings were submitted to the
solicitor. His opinion was that the county
was not liable.
Our representative in speaking to sew
eral members of the Road Committee re-
lative to the paving of Shore Road was
only able to ind that the matter is still
in the air. Newspaper reports that an
amicable settlement had been reached
are entirely erroneous One gentleman
states that an article he saw, said that
the road was to have an eight inch con-
crete foundation, whereas in the speci-
fcations it calls for four inch broken
stone. This only illustrates how some
newspapers distort the real conditions.
The matter is in the hands of the county
solicitor and his findings and opinions are
awaited by the Road Commtte As
soon as Judge Higbee presents his re-
port some definite information can be
given the anxious public.
The board was requested to be on hand
at one o'clock at the Hotel Dennis to
partake of luncheon, as guests Of collec-
