put by Lieutenant GovernOr lb. 1). Ken
ler. Mr. lanes stated that Norwr'IlkI-i
share of tho preamnt vcar's appropria-
tions for good roads is.$4,f100. Judge
l‘.o1kwood desired to know whether the
Heiectmen approved of tho plans sub-
mitted by Mr. MacDonald and Mr.
l.yuca_ speaking for the board, stated
that the work might to be. done, but
the sclcctmeni were backward in rec-
ommending. lt.bccnuso of. the. heavy
coat. in regard to the nature of the
plans Mr. Lynne state that the plan
of Mr. Min-Donald did not call for the
cutting down of any grades, but ralli-
or the plan was one of tho hollows
meeting the hills.
Mr. Church expressed his opinion of
the plan in very vehement. language
and thought to say the least. ltwas I'i.
dlculous in the extreme and proceeded
to showwhy it was. in the first place
he thought. it. absurd to refrain from
cutting downlthe lilll on this side a few
feet and instead fill in a cut. for half
a mile. vile thought his property would
be considerably damaged. lie was
very much in favor of improving the
road. but to do it as proposed was
very foollkb. lie probably expressed
the opinion held by other Weetport
avenue residents for he was applaud-
01].
Mr. Wood then made a brief compar-
leap of the plan at. first proposed by
the selectinen. which was rejected by
Mr. Mnclfiousld. The work as the town
oillclcls proposed was to cost about
$0 000 Most noticeable 'lll the differ
ence between the two plane was the
llll in Pent Swamp. .Tiic sclectmcn
proposed a fill of two to three feet.
\1 lilic the highway commissioner calls
for an average of about seven feet
The discussions abonnded with live-
iv icpaitee tlu'.ougiioui and was decld
edly interesting for a space of Several
minutes
MI. ilurlbutt did not see much ad-
vantage of. the fill in Peat Swamp and
believed that but iwo and one half fact
in grade would be saved lie likened
into a cart, when, it would take thc‘
:amc amount of strength to lift it into
the cart as to roll it up II plank. into
lIII conveyance. The only. Iliil'ereuce
would be the length of time required.
ills point was that. while the grade
would be lengthened out. the same.
amount of strength would be unres-
‘Iill‘iiv expended to get a load to the
top and much would not be gained
unless the top of the bill was taken
ilf. Mr liIirlbuil was also of the coin
on that it would be cheaper to pay
the property damage resulting from
Idling down the hill and getting the
material for filling in tue hollow than
to cart it from a long distance.
Judge. Lockwood asked Mr. Wood if,
he had a better plan to suggest than
that of the commissioner‘s and in re.-
day he said that he. did not desire to
go on record as putting forth any oihl
IIr plans, as he had at the beginning
nibmlttcd a‘pliiu at the request of the
sclecimen and Mr. MacDonald bad rc-
iected it and put. forward . his to
read. Frank ilouton queried Mr. Wood
111 to which. in hls opinion. was the
best plan. and Mr. Wood said that be
thought the commissioner's was the
batter plan. but the expense lnv1‘iivcd
van much greater. Postmaster llrail
ey S. Keith asked if he understood it
Iriglit that unless the town adopt Mr
\in1llonalds plan no work whatever
vould be done.
J ridge Lockwood made. a motion that
Iction be deferred until. the seieutnion
hold a conference with‘ Mr. MacDonald
ind a plan was mutually agiced upon.
in reply to this Mr. Lyons stated that
the board had conferred with Mr. Mac
Donald and: he had absolutely refused
to compromise. »
M. H. Glover was of the opinion that
Iinsmnth as the stoic paid two- thirds
of the cost of thefwork it should have.
Ionic voice in the matter. and believed
.hat Mr. MacDonald 5 plan should be
adopted. Mr. Church agreed that the
state should have. some. say but he did
not think the proposed plan by any
means a feasible one. .
Dr. J. G.- Gregory spoke at the great
need of repairing the highway and be.
iieved that Mr. IacDouald' s plan
should be adopted. He spoke as 1!

travel over the road and gave a des-

AN AUTHORITATIVE STATEMENT.
M
Regarding the Health of King Edward
Published Today.
LONDON. July lU.-—An authorita-I
live statement regarding the health of
King Edwaid was published in today 3
issue of the British Medical Journal.
It says: ‘ In view of the fact that- sin.
jistcr stories continue to be manufac-
tuicd and printed it may again be
stated as emphatically as possible that
during the operation no trade 01' mn-
iignani disease was observed. that no
suspicion of any kind has arisen since
and that the medical attendants are
quite satisfied that his majority's con-
stitution is thoroughly sound."
The paper adds: ‘
“TheI pIogress of the last hos been
every thing that could be desired. The
wound still deep is granulating woii
During the last ten days the improve-
ment in his majesty’s general health
has been remarkably rapid. The king
has regained his strength almost corn-
pletely and is able‘to take restricted
diet with a good appetite."
The Lancet also stigmatizes as
“lies" the sensational rumors circula‘
ted and says: "There is not and
