THE CODE MATTER RE-oPENED While the
county commissioners could not have decided
otherwise than what they did with the evil
dence before them concerning the slight
change in the county road asked for by MIR.
Ira NJ Cobe, there has been universal regret
that the projected improvement could not be
carried out as it must result in the betterment
Of all the adjacent property. Them North
port, and Belfast, could ill afford to lose Mr..
Cobe as summer resident. Since the adverse
action on this matter there has evidently been
decided change of sentiment and many of
those who opposed are now in favor OF grant,
ing Mr.. Cobes request. Mr.. Charles o. Dick
ey is now circulating petition asking for the
proposed change in the highway and is meet
ing with good success. One Of the parties to
be affected by the change, Mr.. Herbert J. Ban
ton of Bangor, in reply to letter from Mr. J.
B. Nealey of Northport says:
cannot understand how there can be any
reasonable objection to granting the very
rational request of Mr.. Cobe, inasmuch as he is
willing to conform to the conditions and terms
required by all interested parties. Since the
non resident cottagers are satisfied with the
proposition, it seems strange that the residents
of Northport should want to deliberately cut
their own throats to spite Mr.. Cobe.
81 would advise that it is poor policy for the
citizens of Northport to place any distractions
