NORWAY.

Probably there Is not road In Oxford
County over which there is more travel
day in and day out than the road be-
tween Norway and Paris, and We think
those who have occasion to use this
road will agree that that part Of the road
from the Paris line to the corner of Paris
and Main Streets Is in a wretched condi-
ton and has been ever since the sewer
was put In last fall. We believe practi-
cally nothing has been done on the road
since that time and 1t is now nothing but
q stretch of sand and holes. Norway
raises generous amount of money for
the care OF its roads, and why not spend
a part OF it on the road over which there
is more travel than any other road in
town? The Paris end of this road is q
state road and is kept In flrst-class con.
dition, a fact which makes the Norway
part of the road seem worse by compare
son. 1t is all right to keep the roads In
the outlying districts in good shape, but
certainly the streets of our village are
entitled to little care and attention.
Why not spend some Of the money
where it Is most needed?
