The Bath city council committee on new streets schedules a hearing next Tuesday at 4:30 PM on the petition by Elmer J. Rich and 15 others to accept the Bay Road as a public thoroughfare.

The route runs from the Ridge road turn to Lover’s retreat end, about 200 feet, serving three families eager for city maintenance. Also noted is Joseph Avery, longtime Empire theatre drummer, who has joined the Mt. Pleasant Bretton Woods orchestra for the season, promising a strong drum and xylophone display.
