PLANS DRAWN FOR
NEW STATE ROAD

The plans and specifications for the
State aid highway which is to be built
by the city this year have been forward
ed to the State highway department for
approval and it is expected that notice
will soon be received accepting them,
and then the work of constructing the
new highway can begin. The section Sc
lected this year is that part of the high
way from the bridge at the lower end
of Silver street to the hill near the
Union Gas .& Electric station. This sec
ton of road is always in bad condition
and is the one particularly bad strip be-
tween this city and Augusta on that side
of the river. The bushes along the bank
between the road and the water are all
being cut away to give an uninterrupted
view of the way and the road is to be
smoothed up and given heavy coating
of gravel. This particular section is
made road. constructed when the dam of
the Union Gas & Electric Co. was built
and the most of the road is clay. An at
tempt was made once before to fix it
but the results were not what they
should have been and it is hoped to make
a good job of it this time. The work
will be done by Street Commissioner
Estey and the city crews under the di-
rection of Elmer E. Smith as inspector
for the State highway commission.

AUTOS IN THIS CITY

Reports are coming from the secretary
of States Office at the present time of
the great work that is or has been done
by officers in various places in the State
is seeing that all the automobiles and
their drivers are properly licensed, but
Waterville seems to be left out of 1t.
People familiar with the situation here
consider that there is not another place
in the State where there are SO few men
operating automobiles without a license
and it is very doubtful if there is car
run on the streets of Waterville which
is owned here which is not properly Ii
censed. This work has been done by the
members of the Waterville police depart
ment without arrests or trouble with
owners and drivers. everyone has been
used alike and the whole matter has been
fixed up and everyone made to comply
without any hard feelings.
