necessary that the town furnish right
of way, top soil and take care of it's
water main. 1t must also provide such
dirt as may be required for necessary
fills.
Because of the inclement weather
there was only a small audience in at
tendance upon the FiGdiers' conven-
ton held in the city auditorium last
evening, under the auspices of YORK

World. So threatening was, the wealth
er that only q few contestants appear

small audience appeared to enjoy the
music made by the small number Of
contestants. 1t was stated that 1t was
possible the convention may be held
again at a more favorable time.
At the annual meeting of the
trustees of the Church Home Or

If the West road comes into York
vile by way of the Jail, the grading
of the Inman hill will commence just
about the one mile post, and the hill
will be cut about four feet. The dirt
excavated here will be carried down to
the water works branch and the NIL
will be raised there five feet, lowering
the present incline Of the hill nine feet.
There will be considerable dirt to be
removed from the top Of the Spencer
hill and will be used in large measure
to level up the depression at the gas
house branch. A sharp curve now at
the branch will be Strengthened out
The Jail hill will have to come down
considerably and this will mean the
lowering of the water main several
feet. The new road will not be any
thing like level; but it will be Won
derful Improvement over the present
road.
