one of unusual contention and noise. If our
town meetings could be conducted on more
parliamentary plan so that the town could
understand what they were doing great gain

LEGAL feeling in town owing to a diversity Of
interest and Fairfield being the largest town
in area in Somerset County it would not be
strange if division of the town was sought.
