A Town CLoCK.-We are authorized to
state that Mr.. II. c. Shriner has proposed
to the people of Mechanicstown and VI
cinitv to have his workman, Mr., Henry
w. Kappcs, make and place in position
town clock at a cost of $3.50, which shall
he the equal and as perfect time-keeper as
one that would cost double that amount
by purchase ordinarily. He will build
and place the clock in position under the
following conditions -
The amount above named shall he pald
bv individual subscription into the hands
of a responsible party held there subject
to Mr.. SIS. order, upon the completion OF
the clock and its acceptance, after ten
DAYS trial, by committee appointed by
the subscribers to the fund
1t is suggested that one hundred and
fifty persons give one dollar each, thus
making it burden to no one and vesting
the CORPORATION authorities with its own
ership.
There can be many reasons found in its
favor and SO far as we can see, but few, II
any, objections urged
If it prove to be a correct time-plece IL
mus, prove of untold convenience to
housekeepers, not few of whom have
unreliable and runaway clocks and as it
is proposed to place it in church stesple
and use the church bell, it would give the
time at all points within a radius of one
mile at least. Our people are requested to
give the proposition their consideration.
