Mr.. Comstock claimed he had
never asked the doctor to attend the
sick poor. Gov. Stewart said the law on
the question of compensation was well
understood. and moved that this case be
rcferre to the selectm'n and town

Mr.. Wilds called for the report of the
committee appointed to erect town
hall and was answered by Col. l.. E.
Knapp. L. j. Phelps, the owner of the
Ross place. had telegraphed that he
would send deed of the property or
come himself. but the document had not
yet been received. The committee had
no doubt. however, of Mr.. Phelps in
tention to do as he agreed. The COM
mittee had gotten quantity of stene on
the ground. These could be drawn
much more cheaply now than after the
snow goes, and are good property if they
should not be needed by the town. The
committee had examined number of
plans and would soon prepare spccifica-
tions for submission to contractors.
