BEDDING

Bedding, Dec. 1.-The selectmen met last Saturday in the expectation of considering bids for the contract to improve the hometown road, but found that none had been submitted, circumstance indicating that mo one cared to undertake the work for the $2.00o available" It is therefore probable that the work will not be started before next spring and that a modification of the plans must pre- cede the carrying out Of the improve ment under contract. Those familiar from practical experience with local conditions incline to the opinion that the specifications might be bettered in many particulars considering the situation from the standpoint of the adaptations of means to the end de- sired. One of these particulars is the matter of grades where contours. de sirable in themselves, are provided for at too large a cost. The outcome may be a resort to the days work method or a combination of that and the contract system in certain sec tions.
