Selectman James Simpson aH- lnounced today that he was planning to start the road scraper working in the town on next Monday when va rious roads and streets which have been left in a bad condition after the winter, will be levelled and put in shape for the coming summer. This will be the earliest start for this work in a number of years be- cause of the mild weather and signs of early spring which have taken the frost out of the roads and have left them dry in the warm sun.
 MT. Simpson stated that there are a large number of the roads which will have to be attended to this year and it is his plan 10 tackle the work early so that the traffic conditions will be as good as possible in the summer months. He stated that Ii was foolhardy to start operations or the roads during the winter because of the fact that when the frost started to thaw. the beds would all be uphcaved again and make mat. ters worse than ever. The town scraper will be used to good advan. tage in all places where it is needed
