No. 3 Hartford Avenue.

There are indications that the financial
town meeting in Johnston the last Mon
day Ia May will be held in the Piainield
street engine house.
In previous years objections have been
made to using the fire station for voting
purposes on the ground OF the destruc-
tiveDess Of a gathering sue as election
day causes to assemble. While this objec-
tion may still hold good as regards the
use OF the engine house for State or town
elections, 1t will undoubtedly be over
looked IL the fire station is wanted for
the assembling OF the taxpayers. Dur
ing the past three years the town has
paid for the fuel, lights and janitoring
of the building for the volunteer COM
pany who occupy the station. Because
of this il Is not thought that objections
would be raised by the company to the
use OF the building. With the apparatus
removed from the lower floor 1t would
be possible to seat $50 persons and have
room sufficient to conduct the meeting
in a business like manner.
Moderator George Il. A. Beane stated
today that "'If he presided at the next
financial meeting every elector who was
present would be provided with a seat
and the meeting would be a deliberative
one in every sense"
