 Macdonald again failed to put in an ct U1riI a come he might have seen the exped- iency of changing the Ridge road plans for the section extending from just below Miss Gilder's residence to the lower terminus of the line undergoing !improvement, s At the upper end of the stretch slight knoll is not alonei being shaved off at the crown but en- tirely eliminated. the operation requir- ing the excavation of solid rock to depth of about four and one-half feet. The work will leace in bad condition the approach in front of Greenbaum & Klein's store A few rods below where | the two forks of the cross highway meete the main road the level stretch | in front of Miss Emily Hills house is | being raised two and one-half feet and the roads center shifted westward. | The result will be such an added sharpness of pitch in the already steep | forks of the hill road as to make them | IIupOSSIDlC IOl OuI ISHl Aoooo' | The improvement of grade on the main | line is not only expensive bu, in the | opinion of all observers the consequent | disadvantages more than offset the gain as regards travel improvement. | The cost of the Ridge roads rebuild | ing will be $6,5O0 with s180 additional in case the stretch near Miss Belle | Sanfords residence is stoned. This l will leave from the old appropriations | a balance of several thousand dollars, and the selectmen would like to have it expended as soon as possible in the | of the Putnam Park l road. Nothing can be done, however, | until Commissioner Macdonald gets ready to act and his dilatory methods and unfulf1lled promises in the past | discourage expectations of promptness in the present instance.
 A representative of eX-TaX Collector | Gorham made known to one of the se- lectmen the other day that MT. Cor | ham was willing to compromise the suit which the town is about to bring | against him on the terms offered by | the town last spring, these being the l payment by him of SITS against which | sum he had a credit of $2O0 represent | ing two years salary. The selectmen | do not see how they can entertain this offer as the towns claim against Mr. | Gorham is for the entire tax shortage of S1,3e2, with interest, less the S20O | referred to- When they made the pre- | vious demand for SITS only they did | not understand that Accountant Soule | practically absolved Treasurer Hill in | respect to this particular shortage. | Had Mr. Gorham settled on the basis | of the earlier claim he would have re- ceived clean bill of health, financial ly speaking, but he then asserted that | he owed the town nothing and still maintains that position, although will ing to make some concession if there by he can avoid a suit.
 A special parish meeting of Christ church has been called for next Monday evening at the Sanford school house to take action upon the by Rev. w. H. Jepson of the rectorship. His resignation has not yet been formally presented to the vestry, but while his present years engagement does not end until Octo- Der 1t is understood that he wishes to leave about the middle of July to en- ter upon the pastorate of St. Luke's in East Bridgeport. The parish meet ing will proba bly interpose no objec- tion to hiss plans. The retiring rector cannot be charged with mercenary mo- tives in making the change as the sal ary he will receive under the new en- gagement is less than, he was paid here.
