Wednesday evening, after many days
of discussion, the district meeting was
held to decide whether part of the school
building should be rented to the Sasqua-
naug association for IA term of years.
Sidney Hawkins, clerk, called the meet
ing to order and Rev G. G. Adams was
elected chairman. A resolution was pre-
sented by III. III. Perry, providing that
the hall be rented to the Sasquanaug as
ISOLATION for term of five years at a
yearly rental of 81. This was amended
by requiring the association to keep the
building i'm repair. The chair appointed
n. Jennings, Z. C. Sherwood, Edward
Hawkins and III. n. Wakeman tellers.
~. Il. sherwood made a stirring speech.
in which he said that the hall should be
rented to all suitable parties and offered
as an amendment that, if the hall were
leased to the association, when there was
a dispute as to leasing to other parties, a
committee of three should decide the mat
ter, one to be appointed by the associa-
tion, one by those requesting the hall and
a third by these two. The original mo-
ton was laid on the table and Mr. Sher-
woods resolution passed. The first mo-
ton was then called from the table and
voted upon by ballot. Those favoring
the lease voted yes and those in opposi-
ton voted no. Yes ballots were printed
ON red paper and the no ballots were of
white paper; al votes were cast. The
result was " yes, 81 no. About $50 were
present and the meeting was orderly
throughout, rejecting credit on those
in attendance. There is considerable
talk as to whether the vote is legal some
claiming that a two-thirds' vote is neces-
Sary.

Mr. Silliman of the Stratford granite
and marble works was in town, last week,
experimenting the erection in our ceme-

ajar." The base is from granite, with
polished top, on which rests pure white
marble plinth bearing ON one side the
record of birth and death md on the 9TH
err the family name, Shaw. On this
plinth stands two polished granite col
umns, supporting white marble arch,
In the front of which Is the name lib
ble'' in raised letters and on the back the
full name elizabeth" On the frieze
under the arch on each side are artistic
ally carved bunch of pansies. The top
OF the arch Is surrounded by five-point-
ed star. In the opening between the col
umns are double gates of Italian marble
partially open. The reputation of this
concern for artistic work had already
been established in this vicinity by other
monuments placed in our cemetery dur
ing the past few years. This job will add
TO that reputation. The design is origi-
nal with Mrs Shaw and her ideas have
been faithfully carried out.

At the adjourned meeting, Tuesday at

TO investigate and make preliminary sur

for Westport and Saugatuck, much in
terest was manifested. Representative
men were eager to hear and ask ques-
tions. Engineer w. b. Rider presented
maps and plans of the mains and hy-
drants, with full layout of the works as
they would probably be needed at pres
ent, u, 10 and eight inch mains for our
principal streets; about 30 hydrants, etc.
The plan comprises a water tower rs
feet high and 20 feet in diameter, con-
structed of steel about five-eighths of an
inch in thickness, to be built on the hill
east of Lees q Co.'S store on North Main
street; the water to be taken from IL
large we'll to be fed from the springs in

same that has been adopted by other
