A State Road to Greenville

There Is a possibility that state
road may be built from Skowhegan
to Guilford, there connecting with the
highway already constructed to
Greenville. This matter depends
upon the harmonious action of the
towns along the route.
Under the present statute, towns
are permitted to raise each year,
certain amount, proportioned on their
population for what is known as state
aid highway and the state will provide
a sum equal to the amount so raised.
The statute further provides that
three or more towns may join in the
plan for the construction OF a con-
tinous piece Of improved road for a
distance of not less than fifteen miles
and may raise In one year the amount
which they would otherwise raise in
five years. Under this five year
plan the state does better than its
dollar for dollar one year proposition
and puts in nearly twice the amount
raised by the towns. To illustrate:
The town OF Cornville. working in
dependently, could raise 1888 for state
aid highway and receives from the
state an equal sum all to be expend-
ed in one year Joining with TWO
other towns, say Athens and Skowhe-
gan, Cornville would be permitted to
raise five times 1888, that Is, $3.50
and the state would join in the enter
prise by contributing nine times $553
or $4797. Each OF the towns along
the way could do the same thing. A
large town like Skowhegan could
raise 1888 by itself, and working on
plan of this nature, could raise
FIVE times that amount, or 1865 for
this project, and receive from the
state nine times the sum last men
toned, or $11,997. Skowhegan's re-
preventative in the Legislature, who
Is a member of the committee on high
ways, feels confident that there can
be secured substantial appropriations
In addition to the sums already men
toned to assist in this project.
1t will be readily seen that such a
trunk line highway would materially
increase the value of farming pro-
perty for a wide range on either side
of the route. An advantage Of equal
Importance would be the increased
facility offered to farmers for getting
their products to market. At pres
ent, tourists from Portland and out
of-state points travel by the way Of
Newport and Dexter. This new road
would doubtless divert this through
travel to this section, as 1t is eight
cen miles nearer and runs through
q route of more scenic beauty. 1t
would provide for trunk-line travel
by the way of Skowhegan from the
White Mountains and Rangely to
Moosehead Lake and Kineo.
1t is very important to bear in mind
that the entire project is not costing
