/ the problems that VIII have to be met
at the annual town meeting As was re-
/ Gently stated in the Spy. there is Por-
/ ton Of the town that cannot be reached
! by the present sewer system. Recent Inv
vestigation shows that it is possible to-
/ lay pipe from point on upper Cherry
/ street in the rear of Gilbert F.. Manleys
residence, through the land Of Charles
j n. Prouty on the banks of Muzzy mea-
dow pond, to point on Maple street
near the Spencer steam bakery and by
/ branches, reach East Main street. High
| land, North, Powers, Lake. Erving, May
! Ash and College streets; in fact, all that
point Of the town east of the high points
on Cherry and Main streets not now,
reached by the present system. 1t is es-
/ timated that the total cost would be
about $1,000, and prominent citizens ex-
/ press the opinion that as the question
must be met soon, it would be a wise
policy TO do the work at once, and thus
( take advantage of the low price of ma
terial. as well as the low rates OF inter-
/ est on money. 1t is morally certain that
the citizens of Spencer will be called to-
! vote upon the question at the next April
! meeting,
There is an impression among some OF
the voters of Spencer, that there will be,
/ two members of the school board to
1 elect at the April meeting; one to fill the.
vacancy caused by the death of John E.
/ Bacon, and the other caused by the
resignation of Everett S. Jones. Mr..
| Bacon's term expires this spring, and his
/ successor will have to be elected; Mr..
Jones term expires April l, 1899. He
resigned last fall, andat a joint meeting
of the selectmen and school board Miss
IGlida M. Capen was elected to I'LL the
f1e
expiration of Mr.. Jones' term of otficet
so that only one member Of the school,
board win be elected this spring.
