The Highway Hearings.

The State Highway Commission left
Augusta, Tuesday morning, for Lewis
ton, where in the afternoon it held the
third hearing on Maine Highways. y
large number attended the hearing
and much interest was manifested.
Highway f, the road between Port
land and Augusta, via Lewiston, was
the first matter to come up. This
road passes through North Deering,
Cray, Lewiston. Monmouth, Winthrop
thence to Augusta. 1t is much
travelled road. especially between Au-
gusta and Lewiston for it is much
preferable to the route via Gardiner.
Considerable work has been done
between Danville Junction and Au-
burn, and on the part just outside of
Augusta. But the road. as a whole.
has stood hard usage this summer,
and needs repairing.
The ommission. also, discussed
State Highway +, which will begin at
Auburn and run to the town Of
