mer resident OF the latter place. will

the measure.
The automobile situation on Mount
Desert island has been a peculiar one
for the past two years. While Eden
and the towns of fremont and South
west Harbor have been barred in the
town of Mount Desert. In order.
therefore, for a car TO reach South
west Harbor from the Trenton bridge,
which leads from the main land ONO
the island. it has been necessary TO
take a rough road on the extreme
westerly side of the island. running
down through Pretty Marsh.
The residents of both Southwest
Harbor and fremont who own motor
cars. have been disguised and loud
spoken in their complaints. They not
only say that they should be allowed
to run their cars to the mainland over
the direct road. which is much short
er. in addition TO this, they argue that
automobile parties Of tourists. which
would otherwise motor down in con-
siderable numbers each summer, are
prevented from coming by the fact
that they have TO take such devious
route.
