R.M. piper has finished the concrete walls on the East Abutment. Piper plans to have a second crew come in and start backfilling the abutment walls and also start the retaining walls on the East side next week.
R.M.Piper prevailed in getting the footing poured for the West abutment this Wednesday (It took 13 concrete truck mixers full). The footing was all set to pour the previous week until the heavy rains came and flooded the entire footing area and forms.
The engineers inspection reports are constantly updated on the Town’s website HERE.

Lee Police Notice
There has been an increasing problem with Internet fraud, identity theft and credit card fraud. These issue are frustrating for local law enforcement, especially small agencies like ours as they are often impossible to investigate as there is no way of knowing where the actual crime took place. The federal government has a website dedicated to these types of crimes. If you feel you have been a victim you can go to this site www.ic3.gov. We will always take your report as most credit card and banks will require one before they will assist you
with any fraudulent charges. A link to this website has been posted on the Lee Police Department website.

“Autumn Joy” by Diane Gallant, Lee, 2010 winner
Sponsored by the Lamprey River Watershed Association
Cold Case -- October 9, 1903
Friday night thieves took from the barn of Miss Belle Tuttle her horse, harness and carriage, which they drove to the next house, which is occupied by Granville B. Thompson, and changed Miss Tuttle's horse for Mr. Thompson's, which was a more valuable animal. Mr. Thompson knew nothing of what was going on until he entered his stable Saturday morning and discovered his loss. He immediately started out to see if he could find any trace of his horse. It was tracked several miles, then all trace was lost. It is hoped that he will be fortunate enough to recover his horse and Miss Tuttle her carriage and harness, and that the thieves will be caught and punished. This is the second horse that has been stolen from this same place. Just a few years ago Mr. Thompson's uncle, Almon Thompson, had a very valuable horse taken and,
although he tried earnestly to recover it, he never saw or heard of it again. -- Newmarket Advertiser, 1903
