MURRAY COMPANY WILLIMANTIC AMATEUR DRAMATICS. Make Big Hit with Two Large Au- diences at Opera House, Two large audiences afternoon and evening St. Patrick's day greeted the cast that presented Lanty’s Luck, an Irish drama in three acts, at Loomer’ opera house. The production was giv en by local amateurs, who have ac quired considerable fame on the loca stage. The voung people interpreted their parts remarkably well and the audiences were generous with ap- plause. During the play and between the acts there were musical numbers, including_vocal solos by Misses L. McKeen, Mildred Moriarty, ns anq Katherine Ro- ing feature of the play v introduction in the second act of a pretty Maypole dance by eight little girls, Regina Racicot, Lillian Ot- tenheimer ve Sugrue, Phyllis Mo- n, Alice Simmons, Evelyn Simmons, Florence Sullivan and Bernice Moriar- t GOT 136 NAMES. Dr. George E. Wilcox Circulates Peti- tion for Special Meeting. Dr. George E, Wilcox of the board of town assessors, who was chairman of the revaluation committee two years ago started Monday morning with a petition for signers asking for a spe- cial city meeting to rescind the vote of last December’s annual city meet- ing which at that time voted to ap- propriate $5,000 for further block pa ing of Main street. Dr. Wilcox se- cured 136 names to the petition, which he left at Mayor Dunn’s store Wednes- day morning. Mayor Dunn will issue a_call for the meeting later, the date of which he has under con: eration. In addition to the matter of rescinding the vote for block paving the petition states, “To determine whether the city will discontinue for the present year all new block pavement construction” and “to determine whether any money shall be expended in laving new block pavement or in making any other pe: manent improvements upon the city streets during the present year.” Dr. Wilcox in recent letter to the pub- lic gave reasons why the city should not carry out the appropriation for block paving this year owing to the heavy state tax that the town of Windham will have to pay this year.
