The CoBE PETITION GRANTED. At their
meeting last Tuesday morning the county COM
missioners granted the petition of Mr.. Ira M .
Cobe of Chicago, property owner and sum-
mer resident of Northport, for slight change
in the county road through his property just
south of Northport campground. If this per-
mission was granted Mr.. Cobe would agree to
pay all land damages, to build a new strip of
macadamized road and to keep it in repair for
ten years. This petition was the subject of
several hearings before the county comm is
sioners last fall, when considerable opposition
was manifested. but largely by non-resdents
and people who could not be affected one way
or the other by the proposed change of road;
and after due deliberation the county commits
sloners finally gave the petitioner leave to
withdraw. Mr.. Cobe then announced his in.
tention of giving up his summer residence in
Northport, and if not sold, of tearing down the
valuable buildings he had erected. Meanwhile
he was looking for other property in this vi
cinity. Finding public sentiment was setting
strongly in favor of Mr.. Cobe's proposed i'm
provement MIR. Charles o. Dickey of North
port secured large petition from residents
and property owners of that town asking the
county commissioners for rehearing which
was granted, and the case has since had their
close attention. We believe their decision in
this matter will be upheld by public sentiment:
that it is for the best interests of Northport
and Belfast, and that when Mr.. Cobe's plans
are carried out people will wonder why they
should have met with opposition.
