and valid reasons for the continuation o

line, provided the town will build a ma
cadam road from mill brook to PIN
street, a distance of about threefourth
of a mile. A town meeting has beef
called and public sentiment seems to b.
very favorable. This will give a con

White Mountains and will doubtless b
one of the most popular in New England
1t Is needless to say that such road viii
| insure an increase of travel and stron
probability that visitors will be incline
to linger here.
