QUESTIONS BEFORE THE TOWN.

There are questions coming up at
the town meeting next week OF more
than ordinary interest. The I'M
prOvements on the court house, con-
templated and provided for by a
tax on the county, seem to make it
desirable that the county occupy the
entire building including the room
now used for a town hall. 1t is un-
derstOOd that the town has three
thousand dollar interest in the court
house. 1t is also understood that
the county will give the town that
amount, and perhaps more, to va
cate and let the county occupy the
entire building. The great question
is what will the town do for a hall !?
The quickest way to solve this ques-
ton is to have the county offer land
for site for the hall on the north
east corner of their lot, next to the
to be abundant room. The great
argument for another hall is the inn
pOrtance of having vault room for
important records which are now
packed away in attics and of course
liable to be destroyed by fire. Such
an event would be a double calamity
that the town cannot afford to risk.
The voters should take cOnSiderate
action on this matter next Tuesday.
Another question to come mp is
that of a foot-bridge over the Pas
sumpsic near the depot. There is a
large and increasing population on
Caledonia and River streets, and
foOt-bridgc at this point will save
about three-fourths of mile travel
to the people of this section of Sum-
mcrvile. AS most of the population
of these streets are employed in this
village and have to go to and from
their work two or more times day,
the saving to them would be very
much.
Regarding the article to close the
liquor agency, Il good many people
would vote to close it if they believed
it would promote the cause of tenn
perancc. But they are yet of the
opinion that one legalized place where
liquors can be obtained for medicinal
and mechanical purposes is better
than a half dozen places where it
would be sold for the money to be
made in it, and against the law, in
case the agency should be closed.

Recepfion of the Grand nIaster.


The reception rendered Caledonia
lodge by Grand Master Henderson
and wife Thursday evening in Odd
Fellows hall was attended by about
$50 persons. After an hour of music
by the st. Johnsbury orchestra, Noble
Grand David Mackie gave a brief ex-
plana ton of the action of the grand
lodge in the election of their Grand
Master
Mr.. Henderson came forward and
said that he was greatly pleased to
nieSsss SO many on this occasion, that
he felt proud of the position he had
been called to fill and wanted to show
his appreciation to those who were
instrumental in helping him to at
tain it; hence this gathering He
said Caledonia lodge had put him in
line of promotion and had always
stood by him in a most faithful man
ner, and he trusted they might not
be disappointed in the results of their
action. He was proud to be at the
head of an institution whose objects
were so worthy the best efforts of
men, and whose doings were bene-
fitting the human race
Past Grand l.. F. Miner responded
in behalf of Caledonia lodge and said
that the members of this lodge had
reason to feel proud of the vote,
which was unanimous, that elevated
one of their number to so high po-
sition, and that they had a right to
congratulate themselves on having a
member so worthy of the position as
brother Henderson. He felt sure his
administration would be an honor
to himself, to this lodge, and to the
grand lodge. He also wanted to
congra tulate brother Henderson for
the influence his worthy wife was ex-
erting in this work. 1t is for the
good of the order.
