luminous street was constructed. at
q cost of S7,47910

The preceding city government en-
tered into an agreement with the
state highway department TO pay 1t
$4,000 provided the department would
build a state road from the grange
hall at North Augusta to the twin
bridges on Mt. Vernon avenue and
resurface from that point TO the
brick yard. Upon the completion of
the work the state was to take over
the road. We have carried out this
agreement. The state IN its turn has
constructed the road and taken over
it's care. The city resurfaced the
road from the point where the
state left off to Bond street.
This is very important piece
of construction and when 1t re-
ceives it's tar ccating-which 1
understand is to be given 1t next
spring. will make splendid street.
Northern avenue has been scarified
and resurfaced and given two coat
ings of oil from Canal street TO
Franklin street. a distance of $500
feet, and has thereby been converted
into smooth and dustless street.
The Weeks Mills Dad was given a
coat Of gravel for practically the en-
tire distance from the Windsor line

North Belfast road was also given a
coat of gravel from the point where
1t intersects the Weeks Mills road
easterly for n distance Of about 1000
feet, making the total improvement in
this section approximately one and
three-fourths miles.
A substantial stone and concrete

stone and concrete culvert costing
$500. was also built by contract on
the Lampson road.
Painting Of kennebec Bridge
The painting Of Kennebec bridge
was imperative. While it was known
that the bridge was rusting badly
no one appreciated the condition in
which it really was. II was thought
that outside of some preliminary
patching on the more badly rusted
portions ono coat only would he

undertaken 1t was discovered that
there was scarcely a square, fnch OF
the surface that had not been attack
ed by the rust. and in many places
very serious damage had already
nePn uOHt- IL was
entire surface would have to be
thoroughly Clipped and scraped and
brushed with steel brushes and two
coats of paint applied. This was
done in a most thorough manner at
a total cost of s3,203.93. OF this
amount $500 was paid by the
Androscoggin & Kennebec Rail-
way Company. I think this is
The first instance that the railway
has ever contributed towards the
nainting of the bridge with the ex-
ception Of the underneath portion In
1914. The bonds for the construction
of this bridge will not be fully paid
until october /. 1852. II the bridge
is to last until that date ii cannot
be neglected. Certainly 1t should not
be allowed to deteriorate fer want OK

Finances
The finances of the city are on a
sound basis. No self deception has
been practiced. We have endeavored
TO be honest with ourselves and with
the public. None OF the departments
have been permitted to hold back
bills for the sake OF making good
showing. We have insisted that every
pay as it vent. We have
ended the year with practically every

For poetry was ali written before
time was, and whenever we are so
finely organized that we can penetrate
into that region where the air is
music. we can hear those primal war
blings and attempt to write them
down, but we lose, ever and anon, a
word or a verse and substitute some
thing of our own. and thus miswrite
the poem.-Ralph Waldo Emerson
