"It's tho Dennett Interests," de clared I. It. Tower, who lives on that street, "that are forcing this move. It means the confiscation of our property." "We'll admit it's the Rennet In terests, then," rejoined Tom Den nett. "It's u business proposition with us, sure, but If It's for busi ness that Is Just the reason you gen tlemen of tho council should aid tho movement." "Judge Coku has been saying It would tako between .'l,0D0 and $10011 a lot to do this Improve ment," said Arthur McKcown, when ho got tho floor.

To cut down tliu i street will mean practically tho con i llscatlon of tho property." i No statements wore mado by the , Council, who sat sllontly nnd al lowed tho dlseussloiiH to go on, giving everyone a chance tu express his views. Claud Nasburg stated that ho rep resents 78 feet of tho street and that If tho roadway Is not cut down he wanted tho permission of tho Council to "canal" through from Alder streot. Lots i:teud Into Ktieet. Argument dovoloped tho fact that according to tho old Clement plat tho property owners on both sides havo extended their lots 10 feet out Into tho street, thereby cutting It down to 10 feet In width.

Hnll Lewls came over from Coqtttllo last evening to Investigate a inlxup In tho old county road near tho raco track. Tho county road was suppos ed to conform with what Is known as Lockhnrt avenue, but It docs not. Mr. Hall Lewis snld that when tho county road was Improved years ngo, tho supervisor located It In tho wrong plnco and that It Is over on tho railroad company's property. Tho cost of building tho road was con siderable and dirt was moved from where tho road ought to bu and used In Its construction across tho privately owned property. It Is a hard tangle to straighten out and tuny be rather expensive. Tho dis crepancy Is mostly botween Fifth and Seventh Btrccts. Today Mr. Ilall-Lowls Is going over tho now North Dcnd-Hmpl'o road, work on which will start next week. Pel kins Devised Plan. Road Supervisor Perkins, of North Doud, camo down last night to con fer with him. Mr. Perkins esti mates that It will tako about fifty days to do the grading. Mr. Perkins' hns Just completed tho South Inlet-Sunset Day road work whoro tho lumber was con tributed by L. J. Simpson nnd oth ers. Mr. Perkins has the honor of being tliu first man In this sec tion to dcvlso tho now popular plan of laying the planking Icngtuwlso Instead of crosswise. Tho now plan, which Is being generally adopted, Is easlor on tho planking mid easier on tho vehicles, especially tho autos. Ilall-Lowls said last night that so far this spring ho has traveled over 000 miles Inspecting repair work on Coos County roadB.
