This Month—Large Number of Candi- dates Report for Practioc of Tabs Team—Funeral of Miss Mary Hall Following a personal investigation of the conditions of the road at Upson's corner by Commissioner John A. Macdonald, the road was completely repaired this week by the department upon his recom- mendation. There had been numer- ous complaints of the condition of the road at this point by autoists and rcsidents of the town because of the large gravel stones that had been washed out onto the road by the heavy rains. The commissioner stated in his report that the new highway contained all the improve- ments that could possibly be made at this point but recommended to Commissioner Deming that the roads leading into the corner be put in good condition. Work was started on the improve- ment ecarly last week and was com- pleted yesterdny afternoon. Large gravel stones were put on the road and covered with fine crushed atone. This was presred down with a steam- roller and a heavy coat of tar and sand strewn on top of it. This im- provement will prove more perma- nent than the previous ones at- tempted at the corner and Commis- sioner Macdonald feels that the state has done its part to make the corner safe in every way. Any other problems that arise at the corner arc up to the local authorities, stated the commissioner. He recommends that the reckless driving clauses be enforced more strictly in an attempt to prevent ac- cidents_at the corner. The state highway department had | & large gang of men at work this morning leveling off the shoulders of the rozd en Farmington avenue. A lar{\ truck is.being used with a heavy trailer in the back of it to do the work.” In some places the shoulders are lower than the surface of the highway and these spots are being filled in with sand and dirt.
