day. The High school boys assisted
in the afternoon. The Madison peo-
pie cleared the town down to Baron's

that if the citizens OF Skowhegan
would organize to assist on their end
the road could soon be put in opera

line have cleared a great deal of the
track which is near their farms. In
other Maine towns and cities. this
work has been done and as commun:-
cation with Madison is almost vita.ly
important to Skowhegan. the SEMI
ment here seems to be in favor Of
this work but as yet no one has TAX
en- the lead in this matter.
