tendent of streets from BGy.ston En-
gineer H. A. Miller and Secretary w.
u. Davenport of the metropolitan water
board, besides large gathering of Clin-
ton business men.
John w. Corcoran was engaged to
look after Clinton's interest, and point
ed out the parts of the plan which were
not satisfactory to Clinton people. The
principal parts with which Clinton was
not satisfied was tine width of the road,
which was 35 feet in the plans, but
which Clinton asked to be made so feet,
in view Of the fact that the Worcester
and Clinton Street Railroad was to be
laid upon the road. Clinton also re-
quested that a portion of the road be
furnished with underground drains;
that there should be built retaining
walls In such places as were thought
necessary; and that the fence upon the
lower side of the road should be made
a foot higher than the usual fence, and
of pickets, to prevent horses from leap
ing from the road, as well as to leave
no seats for loafers.
AS these requests concerned only the
road as far as the Boylston line, Chair
man Ball of the Boylston board Of Sc
lectmen spoke for that town. He stated
that the officials of his town could see
no reason why the plans We're not as
favorable as could be expected; and
they were satisfactory to Boylston peo-
pie
After the hearing, the parties interest
ed took carriages and drove to the site
of the new road, where the requests Of
Clinton were explained more fully. Re-
turning, the commissioners took tine 1.27

DISTRICT ALARM SERVICE WANT
ED
The want of q district fire alarm serv-

If the jerks farm had been connected

time would have been saved.
The people think that each fire dis
trict should be connected by wire with
the big shop, as 1t would save coming in
on a team or horseback, and also be
ever so much quicker. The cost would
be a mere trif1e. with the usefulness
that it would be to the town.
