How About the Poor ChIldren's Excursion?
VIII Central street be Improved.
Many people are beginning to ask II the
Overseer OF the Poor is going to give the
Children OF the deserving poor days out
Ing this Summer. The time has about ar
rived for such an event.
Mr.. Gilchrist, when he had the Office.
always did so, and many seem TO think he
still has charge Of the affairs of the poor
office and look to him for the annual days
enjoyment. They should remember that
Mr.. Baker is now Overseer OF the Poor
The new Overseer will probably do his
best to start the movement towards having
an excursion, and as he is known to the
people as generous man in private life
they expect that he will exert himself.
The town officer that delivered the
money so freely at the April election
should open his purse wide and contribute
to the fund, as there must be some left
over that the liquor dealers could not
make use Of.
As 1t is expected that the Republicans
are getting ready to entertain the rank
and ble during the campaign, and are fill
ing up the association rooms with billiard
tables, ETC., 1t is thought that they should
donate little OF the campaign funds to
so worthy an object. They should not
lose sight OF the fact that a good percent
age OF those children will he voters some
day, and there is nothing like beginning
In time and looking few years in ad-
vance.
Open House Tonight.
Tonight the veteran fremen will keep
open house and all friends of the company
arc welcome. The Volunteer is as pretty
as picture and as bright as new gold
dollar. 1t will be seen by all.

What IL To he Done With Central street,
Central street remains in very poor
| condition, and nothing has been done to
improve 1t, although other streets less
travelled have claimed the highway sur
veyor's attention.
The vote of the Council to widen the
street and improve the road bed has
never been acted upon and people are be-
ginning to wonder when it is going to be
done and IL it ever is to be done.
The street is uneven, is not graded,
not even an attempt has been made to
drain the surface water unless it is into
the middle Of the street, causing the for
nation OF miniature lakes.
| The sidewalks are in bad condition,
and the fact that there once was cross
walks has been entirely forgotten by the
residents. The vote passed by the Council
was to widen the street by taking some
from each sidewalk, thus making a mar
rover walk for pedestrians and a wider
space for teams. 1t is now said the work
Ii to be done in connection with the High
street widening.
II Is an excellent idea to do the work
all at once and the question has arisen,
what would be best to do with the road?
To block pave, concrete or macadamizc
| it2
Some favor concrete on account of the
| noise made by teams on block pave
ing. They say the street can be concretcd
twice for what it will cost to block-pave
| II once and that two coats OF tar will last
as long as block paving.
Some favor matchmaking, though but
few think II would be best. 1t is
macadamized now, they say, and the resi-
dents want no more of IL, ,'as there is too
much heavy teaming and it wears out.
A man who is in a position to know
says block paving is the cheapest in the
| long run. There will be noise of course,
but II will be quite good solid bed that
will last no matter how heavy the teaming.
The work should be done Immediately.
| Assaulted An Onicer.
Frank LaBelle of Manville was full yes
terday and was arrested by local officer
whom 1t Is said he assaulted. IIo pleaded
not guilty this morning and was held in
the sum OF $500 for trial August ith.
