\ hearing before the selectmen of the
town of Ferrisburg on the question of a
road to Long Point was held at the pro-
hate office in this city Saturday. The
petition was presented by Attorney X.
w. McCuen on behalf of over 40 property
holders. who own cottages on Long Point.
The board of sclcctmen, consisting of
l.. s. Martin. G. S. Hawkins and Nelson
Hayden. conducted the hearing and there
was a large attendance OF cottage owners
and other interested parties. After hear
ing all the evidence the sclectmen decided
that the road was necessary for the con-
veniencc of the public as there is nearly
10000 worth of taxable property on tn.
point. After the Ball estate represented
by r. u. Booth, guardian, offered to pay
one-half the expense the sclectmcn voted
to lay out and build the road and the
work will be lone this fall. Judge +. w.
