 A resident who is constantly on the the town, said yesterday: T notice in my travels about the town that every body Is busy in the fields and in other lines, but don't see any men at work on the roads. believe that now is the best time in the year to and it packs better than later in the season when 1t is dry and 'powdery I know that it Is hard to get men and that the selectmen are busy with their private business, but 1t seems to me that officials are elected to take care of the business of the town first and not sandwich it in as they have time unoccupied by their private af- fairs. If road work is pushed along now there need be no excuses for building roads In the winter with less satisfactory results and much more expense. Every minute from now till snow flies is needed to get the roads in decent condition. Of course some of tho roads in the town are in very bad shape but there are many good roads here which, as usual, people do not notice. They only see the bad spots, which is natural, for as the Farmer has said, a road is only as good as it's poorest part I believe that it is up to the seiectmen to get help for the town work before they use the men in their own business
