PERMANENT WORK PLANNED.
County Highway Commissioner Meets
Local Officials.

D. T. Perry of Brattleboro, county
road commissioner, was in town Sat
urday looking over the roads with the
town road commissioner and the Sc
lectmen to determine where to lay out
the state money. 1t was decided to
finish the work near Robert Green
wood s, begun last fall, and to do
needed work near the Athens line. An
other permanent improvement will be
made beginning a few rods west of W.
A. Eddy's, extending west beyond the
Scott bridge. The ledge below the
bridge will be blasted to make the
road wider, and the road also will be
made lower at this point.
Another piece of state road will be
put in just below where II. II. Cham
berlin buildings were burned, about
mile below West Townshend Here
is one of the most dangerous places on
the highway, large ledge projecting
into the road at this point hiding the
view so that drivers of teams are en-
tirely unable to see approaching vehi-
cles. There have been some narrow
escapes from accidents at this point.
The road here will be lowered about
five feet and Strengthened and the
ledge blasted out. A short piece of
permanent road will be laid near Fred
Fishers in West Townshend and
strip on Windham hill.
The town road commissioner, d. B.
McCarty, will have charge of the state
money in this end of the town and A.
l.. Howe in West Townshend.

Washington, Jan. Slope was ex-
pressed in administration circles here to-
day that American commerce with Scan
dinavian countries and other neutral
nations would be improved as the result
Of steps taken by Great Britain, Italy
and The Netherlands, whereby commerce
to the latter two countries from the
United States would undergo but little
interference in the future. The action of
the three countries remedies some of the
complaints made by this government in
its recent note to Great Britain, the ba-
sis Of which was the holding up Of ships
on the high seas with cargoes from the
United States destined for European
countries.
Statements given out last night by
both the British embassy and the state
department were the first inkling Of an
other step forward by Great Britain in
efforts to solve the controversy which
has arisen between that country and the
United States regarding seizures OF Amer
lean shipments. The statements set
