"A TRIBUTE TO THE
-
|WATERv|LLE STREETS

The following from the Portland Sun
day Telegram shows how the splendio
work that is being done by Street
Commissioner Estey and City Engineer
Crawford is regarded in other parts OF
the State. 1t is gratifying to these two
men and to the people of Waterville
generally that the splendid work thar
has been done by them during the past
two years under a Republican admin
istration is bringing such favorable
advertising to Waterville:. :
From a personal observation OF
every community in Maine that Is
striving for better roads and streets
we believe the palm should be award
ed the city of Waterville. The amount
of work that has been accomplished
there in the past two years furnishes
an object lesson which other cities
might study carefully. From CONVEX
sation with casual acquaintance on
Watervilles main street this week the
situation seems to be something like
this. The street commissioner Is A. d.
Esty and he was discovered up in
Aroostook county. which is more or
less famous for it's good roads, The
city engineer and city electrician q. is
Eugene w. Crawford. The team work
of these two men, when it comes to
evolving the maximum amount of
good streets from the minimum amount
Of resources. can't be beaten. For ex-
ample, a nearby gravel pit was bought
as we understand it, for $1,000. It was
never supposed to be very much Of a
pit. but Engineer Crawford had sized
1t up and figured that at $1,000 the city
had a bargain. Already $4,000 worth of
gravel has been taken from the old
pit, and soundings show that there is
enough more to last Waterville's street
builders for five years. A fairly good
investment, we should say. The Has
sam Company. Is Just completing a
long section on Main street including
Postof1ce square. which will give Wa
terville one Of the finest main streets
in New England. smooth, broad and
we'll paved all through the business and
part OF the residential section. Street
Commissioner Esty utilizes all old paw
ing OF granite blocks. broken con-
crete or other material in building
the foundation of streets of minor i'm
portance, Front street, which runs
parallel with Main nearer the Kenne-
bee river will, we were told, be paved
with blocks and over that a ma jority
OF the heaviest traffic will be diverted.
thus keeping it off the fine Main street
paving Several streets have been new
~ built OF macadam, while others have
been crowned intelligently, and through
a liberal use Of the gravel supply made
almost as good as macadam. Upon the
whole we should say that wateryille
mas about the best streets in the
state and it is still building them."-

Who Entered the Savage Store

The grocery store of G. A. Savage on
Main street was entered through a
back window sometime between Sat-
urday night and Monday morning and
q sum OF money between $40 and SIS
was taken from the cash register. The

but up to a late hour last night moth
ing had been found leading to the
guilty persons. 1t is believed that the
robbers were young people, as entrance
was made through a small window in
the rear of the store. Mr.. Savage did
not enter, the store during Sunday SO
the exact time of the robbery is un-
known. The officials working on the
case are watching certain parties sus-

pear to lead to the guilty person or per-
sons. 49,,
