It was a reminder of the olden days to see "the many sleighs on the road yester- day and today. Parents and Teachers Meet.

The board of relief, consisting of Acquilla H. Condell, Joseph N. Mec- Kernan and Walter Seymour, and the board of assessors, who are O. Il Robertson, Frank T. Wheeler and John B. Minor, held sescions at the Town Hall today when the data, com- piled during the month, was gone over. All complaints registered by property owners for raised valuation on their land by the assessors were examined. There ha: been a small number of complaints received by the board of relief during its meetings and it is not expected that any great reductions will be made on the grand list. The board received byt four appeals yesterday, when it met for the last time, and apparently the people were satisfied with the work of the assessors. The board will make a toyr of the various properties where complaints have been entered, some time this: week or next week, and de- termine just where and how reduc- tions will be made. Storm Cleared Rapidly. The_ streets about town have been fairly well cleaned and effective work was done yesterday by Selectman William Johnson with his gang of workers. The snow plow was used Ifo good extent and the main thor- | oughfares were open hy the end of the day. The trolley cars were run- ning on their regular schedulé, and trains come in on good time. Yt will | probably total some $150 or more for expense, in cleaning the snow away, according to the selectman today, as a mumber of extra men were em- ployed. The people are warned to be careful of fires as thé snow banks on the side of the foads may be disastrous to the fire trucks in case they are called out. The roads about the center are opencd fairly well, but: those on the outskirts are fully covered with 18 inches or more of snow. The firemen would prob- ably have a hard time if called to a blaze. Snow about the hydrants has been cleared away and the gut- ters are open for water to flow down the water mains. Howard S. Sharpe Howard Stanley Sharpe, 12 year old son of. Mr. and Mrs. Howard T.
