BOWERS BEACH

The road between this place and tn,
boulevard has been wonderfully i'm
proved by the use of the road scrapeT
under the instructions of Supervisor
Stevenson during the latter part o.
last week, and the first part of thi:
week-so much so that travel is mucl
better and we all hope that the wea.
ther conditions will now keep favor
able so that the road can be kept
clear so that people can pass to anC
fro, without so much worry and hard
ship on the part of the people and
danger to their machines.
The town authorities here took the
matter up of repairing our roads and
streets, while the weather was favor
able last week by filling the holes and
cuts in the road with shells and then
used the scraper and now the streets
are in a much better condition and
they will use every means to keep
them so.
The mild weather of last week was
to the liking of the seine fishermen.
Those who had small seines got them
in operation and have caught quite a

eight or ten pounds also quite a
quantity of perch and some of them of
extra size and several herring and
founders. Quite a number of fish were
caught on Monday of this week. Those
who fish for shad from this place are
getting their shad nets in readiness
for the shad season, which will soon
be on, owing of course to the state of
the weather.
