The selectmen have voted to call a special town meeting to see if the vot- ers will give authority for selling the lot owned by the town in Dayville and at one time the site proposed for a new town building. It is understood that the selectmen have received of- fers ‘or the lot if it can be had a reascnable figure, and that one of the prospective purchasers stands ready to put a building upon it within a year that would be taxed for at least $4,000. Just what the amount is that has been offered for the lot is not known. About three years ago the town au- thorized the sale of ths property for $2,200, at which figure a purchaser could rot b found. The lot is of no partienlar use to the town as an In- vestment, ror does there appear to be any use to which it can be put by the town at present or in the future. December 23 is the tentative date set for Felding the meeting. but this has not been definitely decided, as at the time the meeting is held it is de- sirable #’sc for the town to pass upon the matter of accepting the state ap- propriation for highways that is com- ing to the town if favorable action is taken, which may be done at the meet- inz to be held for the other purpose mentioned. .

There are some jeople in Putnarm who would be pleased to know wheth er or not there is such an organiza- tion as the International Automobile association, with headquarters in the Gld South’ building in Bcston. This interest grows out of a visit to Put- nam of a well dressed, robust 1an of about 33 years, representing himsolf as W. O, Keefe of 41 Taft sireet, Dor- chester, and an agent of the above mentioned association. Keefe visited the City Auto statio) and hotels in town, representing to the parties in authority that by paying 315 membership fee they would be- coms identified with the association and receive various benefits. To the hotel men it was represented that by taking membership traveling aucomobilists who were members the association would be directed them, but such auloists were to re- celve a tem per cent. rebate from reg- ular rate: As far as can be learned the hotel men did uot fall over them- selves to get into the organization. The real interest in the supposed Mr Keefc's visit, however, has to do with au attempt to do business with Ar- thur Robitaille, proprietor of the City Auto station. Kobitaille sald late on Thursday afternoon that Keefe e 10 his place and told him of the a: vaniuges of becoming & member of (he automobile association. As 1o’ the h tel men, membership fee was $15 ,and the advantuges to be gained therchy included a priviiege of buying a'l auto supplies, such as gasoline, batteries, and a hundred other Accessorics, through the association at a marked reduction from market prices. Robitaille listened to the story with interest, he says, but he has b #tung recently by buying membership in another proposition of the kind and is u bit suspicious. He told Keefe he wanted.a little time to make out the check for $15, and to come back later. | Thereupon Keefe went away and Ro- bitailie pot busy with the telephone, calling Boston for information aboul soclatior that Keefe sald he rep- s. *Such information a d Robitaille | secured led him to proceed with Mr. | Keefe us is to be herewith related and as told by the local uutomobile man: “When Keefe came back for the check,” he says, I walked up to him and swung for his jaw with ail my might. 1f the jaw had been one of those striking machines 1 would sure- ly have rung the bell. Keefe fell on nhis back on the floor of the garage and lay there stunned for about half a minu'e. “Then he got up and said, ‘That's enough,” snd_went out and ran down the street. Keefe wus a bigger man than I am, but J would have tackled him if he vere tw'ce as big. After he had gene 1 picked the tip of his tongue, which he had bitten off when I hit him, from the floor and threw it in the siove. If his proposition was as g0ood as he claimed it was, I would give him_ $100 for membership, but after 1 talked with Boston 1 decided to punch_him.” Keefe has not seen the police yet to enter any complaint of assavlt, bul has left town. If he has a legitimate propos tion, he certalnly ran agai:st it hard in Putnam, but if his game is a crockcd one, there are some people - SURELY BREAKS THE MOST SEVERE COLD.
