For Better Roads

This correspondent, likewise many other people of Waterville, went to the Mount Tobe airport, last even- ing, to witness the highly advertised parachute jump. The thought oc- cured that instead of so much talk about the proposed project to in- prove the landing field, it might be more to the comfort of the people being encouraged to go to the air. port, if the roads leading up to the field were given a new surface, or a little attention, rather than being in the condition they now are, cobble- stones, ruts, and rocks, which en- danger springs of cars. Whereas, the Mount Tobe road has been well oil- ed, it is a hardship to get off onto the roads leading to the field.
