young editor covered the ground pretty thoroughly last week so i wont repeat 1 strolled up town this week and men were at work repairing and measuring on mill street i well recall when the mcadam road was laid here the roller used was a big high iron one and after the contractors finished the road it was purchased by the town it was how ever never of mttuh use because it was tod big but it certainly squeezed the road into shape when it was being built they tell me now jiat new curbs are to beput inan4 the baying aurface oar rled out to the edge i hope it will do away with all the sp ashing that oocurs ever spring when tt e water earn get away the work on tw lower two blocks was quite an improve lent but the water has laid pretty hea y by the baptist church and turn ran paras

planted and chicken pens and ruifbullt and a garage erected and sundry other improvements then after about ten years or happy life there they moved to toronto to make their home my heart went out to torrance and his wife last week when knox the only and beloved son died as a result of that dreaded infantile paralysis i couldnt get down to the funeral- or service in toronto but i know something of
