G. l.. Mosher, assisted by E. A.
Rutter both of Oakland, are in
town in the employ of the State
! Highway Commission, marking
route 10 the trail from Gilead to
Houlton. They are marking the
route only from Newport to Show
hogan. They are travelling in Ford
car on which a small sized house
has been erected and in which they
live. Polls along the route in the
towns every intersection are painted
with a yellow band twice then the
| Humber is painted and the last coat
is varnish, which will last for some
years. Mr.. Mosher has been with
the commission in this line of work
for seven years and reported that
work done in a similar manner
seven years ago is now in good con-
dition. 1t is very necessary to have
the trails marked at the intersec-
lions in the towns as strangers do
| not know what streets to take to get
out out of the towns. The anew
| method of trail marking Is proving
very satisfactory and the value will
be much enhanced when the trails
are marked in the street intersec-
tions in the villages as is now being
done.
