two feet in along the lane leading from main street to barkeys foundry and lying immedi ately west of dr ira freels resi dence the construction of this walk had been refused by several of the councils in the past and some had even secured legal advice to the effect that the town had no authority to lay a walk on this land which they designated as merely a right of way and not a public street the local fathers are not disposed to take any stock in such advice and claim that it is only justice to mr barkey and mr cook who use lane to get out from their properties to accord them a walk such as
