reasons, principally, because it is con-

N'o'tO" SEEKING Leg 'sldtfe SahCtion 10
Increase Debt.
Grafton, Jan. 19.-The bill petitioning
the general court of Massachusetts to
permit the town of Grafton to issue
town bonds in the amount of $45, 900,
was today presented to the legislature
by Hon. John E. Mcclellan, who is a
member of the committee appointed to
present the matter to the court. Owing
to the large number of bills already in,
it will be some time before Graftonites
will be able to know whether they are
to have improved buildings and in
creased taxes.
Locally, there is considerable doubt
about the permit to issue bonds being
secured, as has been learned
who are deeply interested in
the school question. The cause for
doubt which these men have set forth
to The Spy man is the fact that the
town is already in debt to near the
limit, but this is offset by the force
Which the remarks of the inspector of
public buildings are expected to have
when the bill is brought up for con-
sideration.
A small grass fire near the track of
the Grafton and Upton railroad, at
point near CarrolIs crossing, caused a
number of people to talk of ringing in a
fire alarm last evening, as from the
centre of the town the flames gave the
appearance of a burning building. In
vestigation, however, revealed the fact
that long stretch of dead grass and
brush beside the road bed was burning,
but showed no signs of developing into
a serious blaze. The flames died out
about nine o'clock of their own ac-
cord
The book committee of the public IL
brary held a meeting in the library

were found.
