GOODS ROADS DAY A BIG FEATURE

Will Continue Work With Sociability

TO BUILD 2900 FEET ROAD

Picnic Dinner An Attraction - All Expected To Turn Out And Lend A Hand

Preparations are progressing rapidly for Good Roads Day next Wednesday.  The road commissioners have already been over the section where repairs are to be made between the Soper Farm and Town Hill.  A survey has been made by Edgar I. Lord, the civil engineer, and W. M. Roberts, and the section covering 2,900 feet laid out in readiness for the army of workers who will be taken to the scene of their labors next Wednesday morning by automobiles which will leave the Main and Cottage street corner at 7 o'clock.
The road is to be built up and drained  and gravel has already been located for the building up of the road bed.  It is planned to have the whole work done up in the day and all able-bodied men and boys are invited and urged to lend a hand, especially the boys of the high school and eighth grade who will be given a holiday for just this purpose.
The day will not be altogether one of work, as sociability will tend to lighten the labors.  A picnic dinner will be a feature to be long remembered.  J. H. Butterfield, who is in charge of this end of the affair has as his assistants, Fred A. Jellison, Harry L. Bradley, W. L. Douglas, Henry Bragdon, H. D. Wakefield, M. C. Morrison, H. M. Hodgkins, Gilley Foster and L. P. Carter.
