A Good Road Movement.

(The Monitor prints the following
! by request.)
The following petition has been put
into circulation in Orleans, Irasburg,
Albany and Lowell for the purpose of
showing the state road superintend-
ent that there is a large number of
people in Orleans county who want
this road to receive special attention
and will not only go SO far as to sign
their names to a petition, but will
subscribe money to help. A large
number of people has signed and it
is hoped that. all who have occasion
to use this road will help this good
movement by giving one or more
days work. frasburg was for a good
many years the county seat and there
in the old town yet. Get your
shoulder behind this movement and
are many people who are interested
push.
1t is a known fact that the road
between Irasburg and Orleans was
practically impossible for four or five
weeks last fall, and is now in very
bad condition. There are four pieces
Of state road between the Allen farm
and Orleans which will total about
two miles, leaving only little over a
mile, that if fixed would make a good
road all of the way. 1t is understood
that the state and the town Of Iras-
burg are going to put in a piece of
state road on the Creamery hill. The
road commissioner, George Kennison,
of Irasburg will furnish men with
shovels to load teams.
A. B. Cobleigh has expressed de-
sire to assist in every way possible to
help make this movement a success,
and the selectmen of Irasburg will
cooperate in this movement.
1t is the desire to commence work
not later than April 20.
Here is the petition:
eve the undersigned agree to fur
nish a team for the number of days
opposite our name for the purpose of
hauling gravel and road material to
be put on the road between the Allen
farm and Orleans or contribute the
sum opposite our name. Each one
signing will be notified what day he
will be required to work."

Sergt. MoOreland Given
 Leave of Absence for
 Duration of War
Popular Police Officer to Enter Service of Uncle Sam in
 Tank Corps

Much regret is being expressed about police headquarters over the departure of Sergt. H. H. Morland, who enlisted in the tank corps of the United States army Saturday morning. Sergeant Morland has served on the city police force since March 27, 1912 during which time he mas established a record to be envied by all. Among other things, he is the champion pistol shot of the entire force, and has defended this title almost daily for many months.
 Sergeant Morland has left Birmingham for a weeks visit to relatives in Hale county, and will return next Saturday . for the final hand-shake with the force and his hosts of friends in the city. He entrains for Gettysburg, Pa-, the icca- tion of the tank training camps, where after a short term of instruction he will be sent to France for the final training. Active service will perhaps be seen in this branch of the service earlier than in any other, as there is a great demand for the tank men,
 Previous to his service with the city, Sergeant Morland has had military training and since the institution of the police drill has assisted materially in the work Leave of absence for the duration of the war was granted by the depart ment of public safety yesterday.
