MILLBURY'S Wall.
Citizens Fear They Will Have No
State Road.
ReNFr.eoylan Makes His First Appearance
at ST. Bridget's Church,
Sunday.

M1llbury Feb 13.-The people of Mill
bury are becoming anxious as to the
possibility Of Millbury receiving a por-
tion Of state road the coming season. 1t
is to be remembered that the Millbury
town fathers called upon the board a
few months ago and at the time were
Of the opinion that the commissioners
would overlook Millbury when consid-
ering the requests of the different towns
of Worcester county, asking for a sec
tlon of state highway The Millbury Sc
lectmen went to considerable expense
surveying the proposed road route, ex-
pecting that the commissioners would
allow them at least a mile of macadam
road in the spring. At the meeting held
before the commissioners in Boston
many important facts relating to the
case were brought out The Mfllbury
selectmen were asked if they were given
portion of state road the coming sea-
son would they petition for triangular
section of road near the town Of Graf
ton. To this question one OF the Millbury
whether they would or not" and the
matter was dropped. 1t appears that a
few weeks before the selectmen went to
Boston one of the board was accoSted
by a Grafton town official who asked
him to petition for the section of land
near Grafton. To this the Millbury Off
cial replied that he would not do so, as
that section of land would be of little or
no benefit to the town of Millbury. The
Grafton official then replied that the
commissioners would not grant the
town of Millbury a section of state high
way until this slip was asked for, and
that he knew what he was talking
about. The Millbury people are of the
opinion that the Grafton officials are
doing all in their power to prevent Mill
bury from getting a portion OF state
highway until they petition the commits
sioners for that section of land near the
Grafton line in New England village. A
Millbury official stated to Spy reporter
recently that if Millbury was refused
portion Of state road the coming season
it would never petition for the section Of
road near Grafton, but If their request
was granted the matter Of petitiening
for that section would be taken into
consideration.
The section of land which is
causing all the difficulty is tri-
angular portion Of Millbury which
divides the city Of Worcester from
the town of Grafton. Both Worces-
ter and Grafton sides are macadam-
lied, thus leaving the section of the
road which crosses the town of Mill
bury in its original condition, and an
eyesore to the Grafton officials. As the
money to be given for such purposes is
nearly exhausted it is expected that the
state highway commissions map Of
Worcester county will not include Mill
bury

OTHER TOWN NOTES.
UPTON.
A SOCIAL SUCCESS.

The 18th annual concert and bail of
Charles Devens Camp 70, S. of ". was
held in Town Hall, Friday evening Full
ly 150 people were on the floor dancing,
and the affair was considered a social
event. The opening feature was the
concert given by Birds Orchestra from
Marlboro, which included five numbers.
During the concert, the large balcony
was crowded The national emblem
was a conspicuous object in the decora-
tions. The large stage was tastefully
decorated with evergreen, and on one
side stood small army tent with a.
stack of musl1ets in front. 1t was short
ly past o'clock when the call for the
grand march was made, and in a few
moments the entire line of nearly go
couples was in motion. The march was
led by j. Frank Despeaux and Miss Myr-
tlce King. There were over 20 dances
on the order, and these were all danced
with few extras. At midnight tur-
key supper was served in the banquet
hall
The Harmony Whist Club met with
Dr. T. E. Kirby Saturday evening.
The Westboro regulation bowlers
came to Upton last week, and defeated
the local bowlers by 81 pins. The West
boro bowlers made 1918 for three strings,
COMING TOWN MEETING.
The annual town meeting will soon
be here, and much talk is being made
as to the outcome The only question
which confronts the Upton people is
that of license. BY many it is conceded
that the town will go license. They
take for their comparison the closeness
of the vote last year, when the town
voted no-license, with only six votes to
spare. The w. c. 4. T. are doing. a
large amount of work to prevent the
town from falling into the license col
unn.
There are, on the other hand, many
prominent men who would rather the
town would go license than to have it
run as it surely will be, whether it goes
for license or not.
Another thing which many have found
fault with is the manner in which the
roads have been broken during the past
storm On no road in the town has it
been possible to turn out without dan
ger of upsetting. 1t was only last year
that the town voted to buy a snow
plow for the express purpose of remov-
ing snow. During the last storm, no
plow was seen going through our streets.
The excuse was made that the horses
could not draw it, but in other towns the
snow plow made its appearance. A new
sidewalk has been built between here
and West Upton. within the last year.
an improvement that was heralded with
great rejoicing by those who were COM
pelled to walk between the villages to
their work This was not cleared until
last Monday, and pedestrians were
obliged to walk in the road where it was
not safe for a team to go. All these
little things will not fail to be heard
from when the proper me comes.

SIAM'S NEW MINISTER
 ARRIVES IN NEW YORK
Diplomatic Relations With the Unit ed States About to Be Re-
 established.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 7.-The Secretary of State has been informed that the Si- amese Government is about to re-establish its legation In the United States, after lapse of many years, during which time all of its diplomatic correspondence with this Government has been conducted through it's legation at London. The newly accredited Siamese Minister Plent- potentiary to the United States arrived in New York Saturday and will come to this city in a few days to present his ere
 dentials and reopen personal diplomatic relations between the United States and Siam. His name is Phya Visddha Surf of the Most Noble Order of the White Elephant. He is accredited jointly to Great Britain and the United States and will make his headquarters in London, visiting this country from time to time. He succeeds Pha Maha Yopha, who, all though similarly accredited, remained almost exclusively in London and never took occasion to visit the United States.
