FAIRFIELD.

There should be Il goodly attendance at the special town meeting called for to- morrow, Saturday, at the Town house,at ? 30 m. The two most important ob- jects of the meeting are to consider the advisability of buying stone crusher and road roller; also the passage of T bylaw regulating the indiscriminate use of the sidewalks by bicyclists. Since the presentation cf a petition asking that such action be taken, some opposition to the bicycle clause has developed itself, local riders who invariably use caution in riding thinking that they should not be legisiated against simply because of the wilful carelessness and lack of com sideration displayed by outsiders. There are many influential citizens, however, who, favor the measure and it is likely that it will pass. The matter of road workieg machinery has often been dis cussed and, as it seems likely that the purchase of such machinery would be true economy, this also is likely to pass.
