The various highways of the town have been given considerable attention and it is Delleved that they are in good condition at the present time. Quite a little work in the way of re- pairs has been necessary on the vari- ous bridges and more will be necessary the coming year, including a new bridge at the foot of Sherman street, as the condition of the present bridge a tthis point is such as to make fur- ther attempts at repair inadvisabld, The inmates of the almshouse have been well cared for during the past year under the jupervision of the manager, Mr. Chapman, and his as- sistant, and the general health and conduct of the inmates has been good. As there are many calls on the board Quring the year for firewood to be fur- nished those receiving help through the outside poor department, a num- ber of loads of cord wood were deliv- ered at the almshouse. This wood Was cut and split by those of the inmates who were able to perform manual la- bor ard delivered from there to those needing it. By this mcthod the cost to the town was decreased and certain of the inmates at the almshonse were given needed occupation. This work was willingly done by those called upon for the service, and their help in this matter, as well as about the farm and buildings, is much appreciated by the management and by the board. About $250 was expended in the erection of a to0l house for the storage of the town’s tools and apparatus and repairs to the stable. The house for patients suffering from contagious disease has been fully repaired and modernized. The coal bill for the coming year at the almshouse has been already paid. Expenditures for Outside Departments The expenditures for the outside poor, insane and dependent and nes- lected children’s departments have Dbeen carefully guarded and kept at as low a point as was considered con- sistent with proper care for those un- ortunates as well as for the interests of the taxpayers. Owing to the epidemic of infantile paralysis which has affected this and other states, a certain amount of ex- pense was necessarily incurrad in pro- viding quarantine guards, etc. That the quarantine was so effectual, con- sidering the difficulty of its enforce- ment, is 2 cause of congratulaticn for all when it is considered how severely some other towns have been afflicted. Town Debt Reduced. During the past year the town debt has been decreased $3,131.23. That this amount is smaller than in_some previ- ous years is principally dus to the necessity of charging off a number of taxes which had been abated in previ- ous years, which matter is more fully shown in the report of the town treas- urer. On the other hand, the town has at present a cash balance to its credit of $10,661.04, while the balance a tthe commencement of the year was but $3,234.89. This balance would be | even larger had it not been necessary at the commencement of the year to pay several bills carried over from previous years, notably one of nearly $1.809, The board will ask this vear for an amount equal %0 a tax of five mills to cover the town's estimated expense, this being about one-fourth mill less than was asked and granted last year. This sum, of course, includes the state tax, sinking fund and payment to the city on account of the highways, these three items together amounting to a sum_equal to about three and two- sevenths mills. Tn addition to the above, the esti- mates of the school committee, if granted, wiil call for a further tax of | six mills, one-fourth mill jess than last year. This, with the sums asked for by the board, will make a total tax rate of eleven mlills, which is recom- mended. Should additional appropria- tions be made in accordance with such petitions as may be presented for consideration by the annual town meeting, it will, of course, be neces- sarv to law a tax at a greater rate.

A devastating famine will sweep the United States, said Rev. Andrew Jones of Philadelphia. in a message delivered Thursday night at Grace Memorial Baptist church before a good sized au- dience, Rev. Mr. Jones, known as Prophet Jones, is 63 years old, has been making some startling prohpecies and foretold some wonderful things that heve come true. Some of the prophecies told by the prophet with wonderful accuracy was_the Johnstown flood in 1889, the St. Louis cyclone of 1896, and the as- sassination of President McKinley. The prophet says that in his last vision concerning the nations of the earth he was told that much blood is to be shed by wars. In the year 1904 Prophet Jones predicted that there Would be a war across the water and that fhis country would be drawn into it and will be in it until blood touches blood. In 1898 he predicted the Span- ish-American war just previous to it, and on July 7, 1915, in_the city of ‘Washington he declared that the great buildings of that city would be knock- | cd down as if hit by a cyclone or an earthqualke, and that there shzll come neither peace nor prosperity to the city of Washington nor to America for the next 16 years. As a message Thursday night Prophet Jones declared that he came to warn the people .of a great devas: tating famine that will sweep the United States, and also that we are going to war with Japan and other foes. There is no way of escape, says Prophet Jones, for this is God’s visita- tion upon a world of sin and ungod ness. The war in Burope will continue until men are few in number, as found in Isaiah, 2d chapter, 25th and 25th verses, and the women will find themselves at the close of the war as Isaiah, 4th chapter, lst verse. Tt is just seven years ago, said the prophet, that I made a prophecy right here in your own city in Mount Cal- vary Baptist church, of the present European conflict, and just two years ago in the same church I saw thc na- tions preparing for the war. ‘While in_Walterbury, revious to shooting at Roosevelt, 1 made the pre- diction. When askeg_concerning his prophe- cles, Prophet Jones refers to th# 16th chapter of St. John, 13th verse, How- beit when he, the 'spirit of truth, i come, he shall guide you into ali the truth; for he shall not speak from him- eelf; but what things soever he will hear, these shall* he speak; and be shall declare unto you the things that are to come. While here on a previous visit Prophet Jones saw theicattle die and it can be remembered that the cattle in our radius were afflicted with the hoof and mouth disease. He also predicted the much dreaded disease, infantile paralysis. ‘While in Newark four or five months ago he predicted that there would be a great explosion ‘which would shake their homes. The terrific New York explosion dia considerable damage in Newarlk. A person in the audience Thursday night who has beer in Newark was warned by Prophet Jones of the ca- lamity. Prophet Jones will speak this even- ing, on Saturday evening and on Sun- day he will speak in the morning, af- ternocn, and in the evening he will deliver a forcible farewell sermon.
