Probability That Street sprinkIers vii
Be Provided IN MllIhurv.

Millbury, juno SC A Whitney is still
putting in some hard work collecting
money for a town sprinkling cart, and
up to this evening has nearly $3.50 pledged.
The sprinkler is to be hired for the sea-
son and it is understood that the town
fathers are in favor of the movement
and will undoubtedly decide whether or
not the town will furnish the water
free. For the fater supply alone the
cost will be in the neighborhood of $500.
The citizens along the route of the
electric cars are the leaders in the
movement, as during the dry season of
the past few weeks clouds of dust ac-
company each car.

Batcheller Shops In
a Flourishing
Condition.
GOOD NEWS SPREAD BROADCAST
Season of Prosperity Open
ing Up at North Brook
field Shops.

North Brookfield, June SIN another
under way at the great shoe factory of
the E. & A. H. Batcheller Shoe Con-
pany, and plans are already well adj
Vanced for the greatest summer ard
fall business that has been done at the
big shop for some time.
Not in years has the outlook been so
bright, and the rush of work indicates
a return of the prosperous old times
that existed before the labor troubles
of 81, While the company is not loaded
down with orders, it has business
enough on hand to keep over 1000 en-
ployes working on full time and must
ling to get out the amount of work re-
quired. Machines are being put into
every available inch of space in the
top lasting room, and three new ones
are to be set up at once for heavy
work.
A short time ago 5000 pairs of bro
gan shoes We're being sent from this
room every day, and Francis Batchel-
Ter. president of the corporation has
issued an order to have the output in
creased to 5000 pairs a day, Between
1000 and 5000 pairs are now being put
out every day with business on the in
crease, as shown by the new machines
which are being erected.
L. A. La Prelle, vice president OF the
Hamilton Brown company, which is
the biggest buyer on the lists Of the
corporation, was at the factory today
loolin after the orders which have
been placed here by his company. The
object of Mr.. La Prelle's visit was not
to place any new orders, for i'll tie
great rush of business it is no easy
matter to fill the orders now standing
within the allotted time. The period OF
invoice will be just as short as is con-
sistent with a thorough inventory.
c. w. Woods, superintendent at the
factory, told The Spy reporter this at
ternoon that the cutters are not likely
to be out of work for over five days II
the cutters go back to their benches
within a week, the other employees
will do comparatively the same, and
work will go on with rush for the fall
orders. There is every probability that
the employees will be kept right on at
10 hours a day all summer, and there is
no doubt that they will go back on full
time after invoice. The present pros
perity comes with double pleasure af-
ter the hard times of the past winter
when the outlook was dark and du-
bious and no silver lining could be seen
to the cloud.
