a reduction in the price of milk, as de-
| livered to Leicester customers, from G
cents per quart to cents which was
spoken of some time ago in The Spy,
will probably result in a good trade for
one dealer unless the other two come
down in the prices.
Interested parties have already been
to many persons on the hill and so or
40 have already stated that they would
take milk from any one who would
supply it at the lower rate. c, w,
GrosVenor Of Whittemore is already
supplying customers at cents per
quart, 1t is felt that the lower prices
prevailing for hay and grain warrant a
reduction from cents, which has been
the established price for over u years.
Leicester milk men sell for cents per
or miles, and 1t Is felt that fair
profit could be made at the cheaper
rate with customers near at hand.
Two stories about building opera
lions to be soon commenced in town
were circulated around town today.
For the past two or three days, sur

occupied ground west of the Leicester
lunch room. Rumor has it that the
bNDuI heiA Gar paAlit On MAlu Street,
Spencer, is to be torn down and set UP
on that tract of land in Leicester. At
present no cars are kept at Spencer
over night and 1t would be much
handler to have more room at the
Leicester end. There is room in the
Leicester car barn for all the cars
closely packed, but when cars are
shifted some have TO be left out doors
all night. Six open cars used on the

David L. Beaulieu told The Spy re-
porter he had heard nothing of the
proposed change,
Many Cherry Valley people
had heard that building was
to be built on the corner of Chapel
and Main streets by the proprietors Of
the Chapel mills, in which a grocery
store was to be kept at which en-
purchase supplies. Albert L, Smith
was asked about the matter. He said
THE story is all humbug circulated to
make 1t appear that | am trying to
hurt MeDermett's trade, owing to the
granting of the pool and billiard H.
cense. I am going to do nothing of the
kind" McDermott's store is directly
opposite the tabled location.
