Show Much Trouble Over Road. The longest road caso on record came to an end In the superior court before Judge Wallaco at Newport, Vt recently. Thirty years ago O. M.' Brown presented to tho selectmen of Newport a petition, for a highway to his premises from Main street Tho roquest was denied. Later Mr. Brown purchased a ploco of land which carried car-ried a crossing title with it. This cnanged tho situation, yet the selectmen select-men refused to lay out the highway. In all fourteen petitions have been presented pre-sented and acted upon In rospect to this piece of road, only 23 rods In length. |
