North Vassalboro be resurfaced. A
state road to be constructed from
belgrade, near the cemetery, to
winthrop was the desire expressed
IN another QUESTIONABLE. A wish that
the highways connecting Waterville
with Skowhegan, Bangor and Port
iand be kept open through the win
ter months shows that the matter of
open roads which was so much dis
cussed last winter will be before the
pubic again this winter.
Outstanding in suggestions for ac-
tlvlty In municipal was one that an
athletic field be acquired by the city
Ior the use of the senior and junior
nigh schools and with accommodate
lions for playing baseball, football
hockey for boys and girls and for
holdng track meets. 1t was also sug-
gested that the field be provided with
swimming tank.
Several members advocated a
movement for better sidewalks in
the city, one specifying that the
sidewalks. be improved all over the
city and another that the work be
confined to the residential sections.
1t was urged in one QUESTIONABLE
that the police department be plac-
ed under civil service.
A reply worthy of more than
passing attention was that express
ing the desirability for a convention
nall In Waterville large enough and
with proper facilities for handling
the crowds which would come to
Watervifle if such a building existed,
because of its central location.
Several of the members declared
themselves in favor of a program
that would lead to better under
standing between the people of Wa
| terville and the rural citizens of the
surrounding town and it was urged
that the Chamber develop more
| friendship with the farmers.
Advertising. as is natural to ex-
| pect, received considerable mention.
| On member wants to boom Water
vile as the best place to live in, and
| to trade in," another wants the fos-
tering of an intensive "buy-at-
nome program and still a third
thinks the city should be advertised
| as the center of Name
| A new hotel for the city was men
toned as was a public auto camp
| for motor tourists. A desire was
expressed that the membership of
| the Chamber be increased while one
| member was in favor of pursuing
| the same safe and useful policy that
has been in vogue of the past few
years under the present efficient
management.
