No Plainville News I WANT HIGHWAY BUILT IN WESTWOOD PARK!, Selecimsn May Bring Up Matter at Special Mecting, Jaruary 18th. AUTO FUNERAL TG PLYMOUTH Frank S. Yale Dies at Daughter's Home.—Assessors to Finish Work in Few Days.—Entertains at Bache- 1qr Dinner.—Sprained Ankle, After the adjourned annual town meeting on January 18, the selectmen are. considering the advisability of calling the voters together for a spe- cial session to be held the same even- ing at which time the matter of build- ing a highway in Westwood park will be discussed. Property owners in that section have been hot on the heels of the town officials for some time in an effort to get this improvement and the selectmen helieve they should take up the proposition with the voters be- fore final action is determined. There are a number of houses in Westwood park and the owners claim the section is without a road for the accommodation of grocers and others using vchicles to make deliveries. They declare that they are entitled to more than they are receiving in re- turn for taxes and they believe the town should at least provide a road for their use Other questions that have been con- sidered by the selectmen should, in the opinion of the hoard, receive at- tention from the voters and the call for the special meeting will probably make it possible to consider several matters. The adjourned annual session is the laying of a tax and also the ad- visability of making a new contract with the water company for hydrants and watering troughs. It is expected that the budget, which the selectmen will prepare, after estimates are sub- mitted by other town officers having the power to draw orders on the trea- surer, will show that it is neccessary to maintain a fourteen mill rate for at least another year. A. H. Condell, it is sald, will again oppose the signing of a new contract with the water company. The agree- ment that has been prepared by the officials of the company will again be sent to the voters and it is said Mr. Condell plans to make some pertinent inquiries regarding some of its fea- tures. Frank S. Yale Dead. IFFrank S. Yale, a well known resi- dent of Plymouth, died yesterday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Wil- liam Stoddard of West Main street. He was 58 vears of age and had been living with his daughter for some time. He suffered from Bright's dis- weeks, his condition had been preca- rious. He is survived by his widow and twao daughiers The funeral will be held tomorrow with services at the Congregational church in Plymouth at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Undertaker W. A. Bailey, who has charge of the funeral, has arranged to have the body and the mourners taken to Plymouth by | Asscssors Grin, But Say Nothing. Admitting that they have but little | additional work to atend to before the grand list for 1914 is ready for the preparation of the abstract by the town clerk, the assessors have noth- ing to say regarding the probable in- crtles, as determined by them, over last year. he hoard has been work- ing so steadily and has been conduct- ing its investigations so thoroughly that many of the property owner have concluded that they are prepar ing a surprise for some of the tax- payers and that an exceptionally large number of notices of increases will be sent out in the near future. Regarding their plans the assessors You Will Need Mone Christmas Here Is An Easy Way to Get It---A Su to Have It Join Qur Christmas Club, Which Started Monda Club Year 1915.
