The selectmén of the -town have! issued notice to the effect that there will be a special town meet- ing on Friday evening of this week. It will be held at the Town hall and commence at 8 o’clock. The meet- ing has been called for the purpose of authorizing the selectmen to con- struct a surface water sewer. Should favorable action be taken on this proposition, a sum of money will be appropriated for the same. The project of having surface sewers on Broad street to Washing- ton street, has long been considered by the town officials. However, lack of men to work for the past several years has held it up and the appropriation of enough money suf- fered accordingly. Selectman William J. Johnson has had an estimate of the complete job forwarded by several companies and it is figured that avpout $2,500 will be necessary to do the work. How- ever, this does not include the cost of evacuating the earth and it is ex-; pected that a good sized sum will be needed. The plan of the officials is to have all local men work on the job. There mrd numerous persons who call at the selectmen’s office daily and ask for work. Should the town decide to have the sewer in- stalled, work will be found for these Ay ¥ v %—/—éév TqurEe GHERMN' RAB TRUMANS FIRST SPRING APPEARANCE - HE BROUGH ¢ IN A BASKET OF SASSAFRAS RoOTS AND TOOK HOME.A BASKET OF T NI ! people and aid resent unemployment question.
