PROPOSED ROAD CHANGES. 1t is reported that
as result of the hearing by the county
mssoners in Northport last week on petition
asking for the Strengthening of the road on the
Elwel and Burd hills the commissioners have
decided in favor of making two-rod cut in the
Elwel hill The matter of changing the Burd hill
will be taken up at an adjourned meeting to
be held July 22nd In the meantime the exact
boundaries will be ascertained by survey.
The only opposition to the proposed change
comes from those who advocate new suspen-
sion bridge over Little River, the boundary be-
tween Belfast and the town of Northport,
above the present bridge, which would carry
the road across the land of J. F. Wilson of this
city The raising and widening of the present
bridge is also advocated and would certainly
improve present conditions.
