FAIRFIELD.

The first business before the corpora
was the report of the committee elected
to investigate the matter of buying addi
tional land for the cemetery. S. A. Nye,
chairman of the committee, reported that
they stood 7 to in opposition to buying
land to the north of the cemetery from
the Pratt heirs, even though they would
throw in the land occupied by the gully
An extended and somewhat heated dis
cuSsion then took place between the
about evenly divided factions. The bulk
of opinion however. seemed to be op-
posed to expanding money in construct
ing an artificial pond or buying additional
land to the west. Finally the opinion
that there was no urgent need for imme-
date action on the matter gained ground
and the motion to lay the article on the
table was put and carried without OPPOSE
ton. so the question remains as it was
before and no additions will be maue to
the cemetery at present. The next article
was in regard to Mrs. c. d. Lawrence's
demand for $3.50 from the corporation for
land taken by it from her, in connection
with the cemetery. 1t was finally decided
after some discussion to leave the matter
to the assessors for settlement. Under
the final article, which permitted any
other legal business to be transacted by
the meeting. an attempt was made to
pass an appropriation for improving the
west end of the cemetery by grading the
lots and constructing the pond. ETC., but
the meeting plainly had enough of ceme-
terry discussion. and the motion to add
journ was carried with a rush.

Monday morning to hear of the death of
Hon. j. l3. Dingley. after few days i'll

from bladder and kidney trouble.
Mr.. Dingley was born in BOwdoinham,
Aug. q, 1884, where he lived until 1854,
when he came to Gardiner and engaged
in the hardware business. acting as clerk
for Mr.. Seth Wood. In 1859 he bought out
the business and ran it for himself until
1865, when he took in as co-partner his
brother. Fuller Dingley.
This firm continued until 1889. when the
Dingley Hardware Co. was formed, the
brothers still retaining and devoting all
their time to their coal business, which
they had built UP, and also many other
enterprises.
They were the founders of the Gardiner
Spring Co in 1865, were principal owners
in the Wentworth Edge Tool Co., shoddy
mill and many other industries. among
them the ice traffic at certain times, also
shipping.
Mr.. Dingley was one who took great
deal of interest in city affairs, always
willing to give his influence and advice
and also one who was not afraid to aid
financially. In serving his city he began
in 1913 when he was elected alderman
from Ward 5, which position he held dur
ing 1S74-75
In 1876 he was elected mayor, and by
his influence and hard work. during that
year and lS7I-7s. he secured the paving
of Water street. which had formerly
been only mud hole and the erection
of the Highland Avenue Grammar school
was also secured after hard and long
fight by Mr.. Dingley and his friends
Again in 1893 he was elected mayor but
declined reelection on account Of fail
| ing health
At home Mr.. Dingley was a kind and
lovable husband and father. He was
| married in 1858 to Miss Maria McKenney
of Greene, and four daughters now sur
