He was afraid of himself-he, the

pressure created an opening between
the two wings wide enough to permit

years to bring tbout the division that
made these conditions possible. Formerly

of the town. where the preponderance of
population and voting power lay that
1t was impossible for selectmen to visit
that end of the town often enough to do
1t justice. The schools were lacking suit
able books and more than once were
closed because of lack Of fuel. The roads
walks were ripped up because too dan

The feeling that grew out of the contest
has subsidized. The better informed men
of the old town are reconciled to the
changed conditions. No harm has come
to the old town and the new one has
been greatly benefited. There will be a
celebration this summer, in which some
of the people Of the old town will take
part. Steady improvement in the terri
tory between the Damariscotta river and
Johns Bay will result from the Changed
conditions.
