HARD WORK.
Worcester Street Hill Of
fered Difficulties to Pillow. 5

Grafton, Jan. 2.-The first electric
car to reach the centre of the town
since 70 o'clock Saturday night, arrived
a little after o'clock this morning.
All day Sunday Grafton centre people
looked and wondered when they could
get accommodation to North Grafton
or Worcester and when the CONSOLE
dated's snow plough hove in, sight at
the foot of Worcester, Hill, about the
middle, of the afternoon, they were
glad to think that they, would soon be
able to get to their destination, but
later learned that cars were only rum
ming as far as North Grafton.
The snow plough made exceedingly
laborious work of the ascent of Wor-
cester street hill, and it took it nearly
two hours to make the climb. The light
snow lay evenly on the tracks, there
being no drifts of any size, but even
this had to be removed with shovels
before the plough could make any
Roadway at ALL With this assistance,
the heavy machine could only make
gain of from two to ten feet each time
fresh start was made, and it was
then backed a, few feet down the hill
for another trial-thus the plough
finally reached the terminus of the
road. r ,... ..--
The special town meeting to be held
at Z o'clock Thursday evening, for the
purpose of learning whether the town
will vote to appropriate 5000 for the
erection of new school houses, promises
to be unusually interesting and exceed
ingly lively. The citizens of North
Grafton who are strongly opposed to
the expenditure of the required amount,
have held a special meeting to consider
the matter previous to appearing at
the town meeting Thursday evening,
and are expected to put up IL hot fight
against carrying out the suggestions
offered in the printed report sub
mitted to the town Nov 10, which calls
for the expenditure of the above
amount
1t was evidenced at the meeting held
by the North Graftonites that their
ideas do not fully coincide as to what
features should be possessed by the
proposed school buildings, there being
a strong sentiment in favor of an in
dustrial school a high school which
would afford both mental and manual
training. The voters of that section
are, however, united in working against
what is considered by many as an I'M
necessary expense, While the taxpayers
of the centre of the town cons der it
more economical to erect new buildings
than to repair the old ones.
The usual week of prayer is to be
observed by the First Baptist and the
Congregational churches unitedly. The
meetings will be held at. the West
