Nathaniel M. Quint represented the town at the recent hearing before the Department of Public Works and the Essex County Commissioners called to consider road improvements in Essex County, among them the rebuilding of the highway between Burnham’s corner and the Manchester line, a portion of which is in very bad condition. The estimated cost of this work is $43,000. It is understood that Essex will be agreeable to the work if the State and County will contribute 90 percent of the cost as in the case of the last work at the Falls.
