 The property owners and those liv- ing in the vicinity of the recently paved area on North Main street. in tend to present themselves at the next meeting of the board of public works with many suggestions for q name for the so-called North square. Some would have the square named after some of the heroes of the Spanish war. like Dewey square, for instance. or Bagley square. after Ensign Bagley, who was the first to lose his life in that conflict.
