Good Work Being Done by George A. Kahn on Neglected Road Stretch Deer Charges Automobile.

Travellers, grocery men, mail men and others who are forced to use the stretch of road between the two state road stretches from Croker Hill to McHales hill, in Franklin are watch ing with interest the work being done by George Kahn on the sandy stretch between the Frank Allen Tracy place and the Huntington place.
 The roadway lies in two towns, the part on the left belongs to Bozrah. but Bozrah has not claimed it or done any work on it for over twenty years and automobiles rock like boat going over it and frequently get stall ed in the treacherous sand.
 The town of Franklin has expend- ed so much money on roads and other repairs this year that it could not al low MT. Kahn and the road repairer any money for use on that stretch, so MT. Kahn made a canvass of the toWnspeopIe using that road and re- ceived $50 for his trouble. He start ed in at once filling in the town of FTankIin's side $Sh gravel, building it up about eight inches and when completed the road will be equal to any of the stretches, if MT. Kahn can get enough money to continue the work.
 The sandy stretch belonging to the town of Bozrah will prove more dan derous to travellers who have to turn out in passing other vehicles. Briefs and Personals.
