Honorable Sirs: s Referring to the 'improvement of Green-- Bay Road from Spaulding's Corner nmorth, wish to advise you that plans and estimates were pre pared and approved by the State Highway Department for the im-- provement to extend to the Wads-- :dorth Road, and the contract award-- to John R. Griffith Co., of Ra-- cine, for $129,602.65, with the provis-- lon that the improvement be extend-- ed only so far as money was avail-- able, which amount is $106,000.00, leaving a shortage of nearly $25,-- ~~THISs camount ~i¢ only sufficient --to carry the road about one--half a mile north of the York Church of three-- quarters of a mile short of the pro-- visions of the plans. It is my suggestion that the re-- fund from -- the Lake Villa--Antioch Road be anticipated --by appropriating $25,000.00 for use on the Green Bay Road, providing arrangements can be made with the Contractor to await payment if this amount is not available toward the completion of his work. It is very desirable that the im-- provement be carried to the Wads-- worth Road so that in the future this stretch of road would not have to be detoured. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES E.

Amherst, Me., June 5.--Roland MacDonald, 16, overgrown, furtive, a boy of the woods, liked most to prowl alone in the hills, gun in bhand. Everybody in Amhert knew of the boy Roland's skill with a gun. When bhe was a small boy he was a good bunter. Birds were easy prey for bim. He staiked big game. And he loved to skin his game, and clean it. Oftimes, when the sport in the woods palled on him he carried his hunting to within the lim#t# of this small town. Pets fell under his fire. Whang! The report of his gun could be heard ecehoing out of the woods, and the 200 residents of Am-- herst knew that Roland was killing again.----To them he was the town's "bad boy," an daccepted ~as such. Surely, his mother could not be blamed for there were nine younger brothers and sisters, and his father worked in the woods. * One day at dusk the boy was re-- ROLAND MacDONALD, 16, HEL D FOR THE MURDER OF HI3 T?CHER.
