me P,rls-fiebron Road Again.

Editor Democrat:
HEBRON, Me-, August 9th, 1919.
read with much interest and Joy the
article submitted by Prof. Mariner In
your last Issue, and can say most OF us
living In the suburbs of South Paris and
Norway have enjoyed the vsgaries OF
the s-Hebron road. In fact many
OF the boulders and pitfalls have be.
come 30 familiar a. to have received
complimentary names; nevertheless 1t 10
strain upon ones disposition to hear
the cracking Of spring, and the repair!
bills are corresponding reciprocal
strain.
But to reverse the usual procedure to
ascend from the Ridiculous to the sub.
lime. and call things by their right name,
the situation demands attention and
amends. A road 80 much travelled and
which brings In 80 much trade and lucra'
tive gain to town a. this road, In the
condition It now IL ceases to be joke
and becomes disgrace to the town
This road II kept In proper condition
will become the most popular one from
Lewiston to Paris, and this 10 shown BY
the travel during the Oxford County
Fair and statements of those who make
this journey.
It does no good to rip this up at thi'
date and have It all turned up for thi
fair traffic and the approaching frosts t.
raise havoc with, but 1t should be thu
first road to receive attention In thu
spring.
Very sincerely yours,
