ROAD CONDITIONS IN
SOMERSET co.
Highways as They Are Found In
Different Towns and
Localities
SKoWHEGAN

SkOWHEGAN
Under the direction of Ephraim Cow
cite, the local street commissioner,
West Front street in Skowhegan vii
lage is being rebuilt In accordance
with a vote of the citizens at a spe-
cial town meeting held a few weeks
ago. 1t is rough but passable. 1t
is being built to connect with the
state road now in process of constTuc-
ton from Skowhegan to Norridge-
wock.
The roads in town are in very good
condition, none of the highways or
bridges being under construction at
the present time. The road over
Robbins Hill and by Twelve Corners
to Lakewood for Skowhegan is rec
commended.
FAIRFIELD
At a special town meeting held IN
Fairfield the reconstruction of Main
street in that village was considered.
The road which is being built between
Waterville and Fairfield is of mac
adam, but 1t was thought by some to
be advisable to build of concrete.
After much discussion it was decided
that the expense of concrete road
would be too great and that the street
would be built of macadam.
ATHENS AND BRIGHTON
The direct road from Athens to
Brighton village is very good except
short rough place in Athens. Tour
lists going beyond Brighton toward
the lake would do well to take the
Mayfeld road which they will find
very good. The roads from Brigh-
ton to Scion and Brighton to yelling
ton are in very good repair. There
Is no construction work being done
vet but will be later on.
CORNVILLE
A short piece of road just north OF
the Frank Hight farm on the Show
hegan- Cornville road has been great
ly and thoroughly improved.
KINGSBURY
The bridge at Kingsbury's Mills Is
completed and work Is now progress
ing on Thorn Brook bridge.

Spears Fire Attracts Much Attention

About four hundred people wit
messed the demonstration of Elliott
N. Spears Guardian Fire Powder in
Railroad Square last Saturday even
ing. Mr.. Spear, former resident
of Skowhegan, demonstrated the value
of his powder in subduing the flames
on a piano case which had been SOAK
ed in kerosene and coated over with
shoe cement and tar. The shoe ce-
ment Is one of the things that II Is
almost impossible for the chemical 10
subdue when on fire. The case was
filled with sticks covered with the
same combination of inflamable sub
stances. When it was lighted the
spectators were driven back one hun
dred feet by the intensity OF the fire.
Mr.. Spear simply used two handouts
of the powder to quiet the confiagra-
ton. The fire department was call
ed out and the small chemical was
used without avail, according to Mr..
Spear, but this was simply shown to
see what could be accomplished with
the powder and as Mr.. Spear says the
chemical can handle partition fires
where his own is handicapped. Mr..
Spear added, however, that this was
the only point that he would give
way to the advantages OF the chem
ical over his own extinguisher. 1t
took the chemical only two minutes
to subdue a gasolene fire but the
powder used by Mr.. Spear required
only matter of seconds. The local
fire department. endorsement of this
extinguisher will be found elsewhere
