ingly in the past few months
Some time during the week to come
Town Treasurer Harrity win issue the
notes of the town, as directed by ac-
ton of the town meeting, both for
$1,000 for sewers, and $500 for the bene-
At Of the relief fund This latter sum
will he paid by Mr. Harrity into the
hands of the board of selectmen, and

the money was only to be used on per-
sonal application of the individuals, or
the families to be relieved to the select
men. This is not the case 1t was
ruled by Town Solicitor Larkin, who
was moderator Of the town meeting,
that it was necessary for the money to
pass through the hands of some town
board. Town Clerk Tyler made the
amendment which causes it to pass
through the hands of the selectmen. If
Mr.. Tyler had not made this motion,
another illegality would probably have
been perpetrated, and yet another town
meeting be needed to settle things.
The Clinton Ice Company has pur-
chased Of Charles H. Hastings of Lynn
two and one half acres of land on the
shore Of Coachlace pond. The company
will erect an ice house there. The plant
formerly owned by the company was
seized by the state for the use of the
metropolitan water board. The pur-
chase includes + Z. of a two tenement
house. The other nalf is owned by
Judge John w Corcoran.
William H. Stewart of this place has
removed to Worcester, where he will
reside permanently.
There is a sensation in the circles of
tonsorfal art here Joseph Brown and
Moses Lebarge, who for six years have
been employed in the Sawyer tonsorial
parlors are going to set up for them
selves in the room in Tyler's block
now occupied as barber shop by Dan
lei r. McAuley. Mr.. MoAuley has not
announced the location OF his proposed
new quarters. The fact that he will
leave his present location is a surprise
There will be three swell barber shops
in town, instead of two, hereafter.
