shop and after a thorough search not-. 
ified Mr. Sullivan. It seems that 
Mrs. Sherman had a little girl run 
errands for her occasionally, and this 
little Miss was the only one who 
knew of the whereabouts of the 
money. The Chief called on the 
youngster, who is less than a dozen 
years old but the latter said she 
knew nothing of the money at first. 
She later admitted the theft and the 
money was found in a wood pile. A 
roll of pink ribbon that had been 
missed was also found, and ribbon 
minus about two yards, and money 
was returned to its owner. It is said 
the little girl will be sent away to a 
home.

There is every reason to believe 
that the new section of the highway 
to be built in the Magnolia end of the 
town this summer will be the best in 
the town when completed. <A depar- 
ture will be made from the practice 
in road building in town in the last 
ten or twelve years and the road will 
be built by the most improved meth- 
ods as suggested by the state en- 
gineers. While the cost for a given 
section will be more than in the past, 
it is felt that a road will be built that 
will last longer and will give better” 
satisfaction in every way. It will be 
built under the direction of the Supt. 
of Streets, but a foreman will be on 
the job all the time. Peter McLaugh- 
lin of Beverly Farms, who is very 
highly recommended by the state en- 
gineers, and who has been superin- 
tending most of Connolly Bros.’ road 
building, has been engaged for this 
purpose. It would seem that Man- 
chester is at last on the right road in 
its method of building new streets. 
The Bermudos road will be put in— 
the kind that was built along by the 
Frick estate at Pride’s Crossing, and 
on the Gloucester road near the Ham- 
mond estate.
