The groceries were furnished to the different fam- ilies at that time by Mr. Ritchie, who actd under the O, K. of Mr. Markham, who was the county health official at that time. One thing after another has prevented the case from coming before the court for a definite settle- ment and the session Monday after- noon will probably see the case de- dided for all time.

For a few dayvs after the operations Mr. Turner's life was despaired of, but now he has taken a turn for the bet- ter. If he recovers the operations will be one of the wonders of modern sur- gery.

Question Now Arises as to Suc- cess of Project STANLEY FUNERAL SATURDAY Republican Cauc Wednesday Evening—Annual Meet- ing of W. C. T. U.—Other News Ttems of Interest. It has t few been evident for weeks that the methods sed by the Town of Plainville handling municipal ice have proved popular with consume: grave doubts have been expressed to whether the venture will prove success The proposition very not as a up to the present time has been considered successful by the local ice committee. Of late, however, many complaints have been made about the financial methods used by the town in handling the ice crop. The committee was ap- pointed by Plainville Busine: and association and large of ice was pur- cr obtained from Lake Hampshire. The com- that the consumers ice the Improvement consignment ed, bein Sunapee, New mittee decided should dollar, thus being a dollar's worth of ice. The tickets are paid for in advapce and ar punched by the driver when the ice delivered. The purchase price is paid to the town several days before the ice is delivered. The unpopularity of the venture was first brought to the attention of the public when the committee at- tempted to boycott two local mer chants from securing any of the municipal ice. The reason for this was that the mierchants in question opened their stores before the ap- pointed hour on the daoy of Plain- ville’s welcome home celebration for the soldiers. Popular feeling indi- cated that the action of the ice com- mittee in boycotting the merchants was against the wishes of the towns. people, and the committee was forced to accept the decision of the people to save the from absolute fail- ure. In addition to the display of antagonism on the part of the towns- people, Mr. Norton, who handles the for the town, considered the two merchants among his best customers and announced his decision that if the committee persisted in the boycott he would refuse to deliver the ice. How- ever, if the boycott had been carried out and the venture failed, the debt would have been paid in taxes by the townspeople. The latest a forced to purchase venture jce development is the fail- ur, M livery on Tuesday are days on which in town and ice can only four days out of The ice purchased by the from Lake Sunapee was of very quality, being of the kind which melts very quickly and mainly of snow. The heat wav which came last Monday caused much speculation to whether the crop would last throughout the season and it was with relief that the commit- tee welcomed the change which came Tuesday. The committee now feels certain thai the supply will last for the rest of the season and that the town will gain enough to cover the appropriaion made for the purchase. Edwin Stanley’s Funcral.
