ANOTHER SHAKE-UP.
Employees on Suburban Road
Are Much Disturbed.
Many Must Move to Spencer and Some
to Leicester-a License Scheme
Sprung.

Leicester, Feb. 11-A rule has been
made that the men on the Worcester
and Suburban should take their trips
in the order of their time of service for
the company, and most of the night
men are running on changed time IN
BY the new arrangement
the men are forced to take the car that
belongs to them, irrespective Of their
residence, and several who have been
running Leicester cars will be forced to
move to Spencer, and vice versa.
The motormen do not run the same
car with their customary conductor in
most instances, and while some are dis
gusted, others are delighted with the
shift.
The reason given by the manage
ment is that some men who have Lei
cester cars with 20 minute rests be-
tween trips are thought to be favorites
by their less fortunate Spencer brethren,
and to treat all alike the rule was made,
The day men are on the same time, but
the night men are shifted all around.
A LICENSE SCHEME.
The friends of Patrick Hanlon, earpen-
ter at Olney's woolen mill, Cherry Val
ley, are persuading him to run for con-
stable. In the past there has been only
one constable at Cherry Valley, Mat
thew Trainor, and as Cherry Valley is
as large as Leicester center, an extra
man will probably be appointed.
A startling scheme has been unfolded
whereby the new engine house can be
secured without asking the town for an
appropriation. Its upholders think of
nothing less than throwing the town in
to the license column and using the
license money to build the engine house.
1t is planned to have three licenses
granted, one at the center, one at
Cherry Valley and one at Rochdale.
With the $45O0 received, a house good
enough for any small town could be
built, and enough would be left for the
trail location. One or two firenen are in
favor of this method Of raising money
and others do not countenance it at all.
The town has gone no-license every
year but one for about 10 years or more,
and the success of the plan looks rather
dubious.
