The annual meeting of the Orange county road commissioners as held at Orange County hotel Tuesday. State Commissioner J. O. Sanford of Stamford was present. The meeting was one of the best ever held in the county, although there were several of the towns not represented.

Those present were W. F. Medealf, Brookfield; Gates, Chelsea; Edgar Curtis, Orange; J. B. Wells, Randolph; B.

Jordan, Strafford; M. C. Tunbridge, C. B. Titua, Vershire; A.L.

Among the veteran road commissioners were J. B. Wells ot Randolph, M.C.Fland ers of Tunbridge and O. A. Blanchard of Williamstown, who are each serving their twelfth year, and C.

B. Titus of Vershire, who has started on his ninth year. There seems to be a marked tendency throughout the state to keep a good road commissioner In otfiee for a long term.

Throughout the state there "were 148 new commissioners elected in against 92 this year; 44 towns in the state elected two commissioners in 1902 and only 31 in liKM.

8. Flniery and several other of our townspeople attended this meeting. By invitation of Mr. Sanford, Col. Emery gave a brief talk concerning the highways and how much bettor he believed the roads were under the present system of maintaining them than under the old way.
