MGIIbury Consumers Getting the
Benefit of Rate-Cutting War
and Are Now Paying Five Cents
Instead of Six Cents a Quart
GRAFTON MILK DEALER
ACCUSED OF TREACHERY
1t Is Claimed He Agreed to Raise
the Price the Same As His Lo-
cal Competitors But Broke
Faith With Them and Attempt
ed to Get their Customers Away

Special to The Spy.
Millbury, Dec. 22.-The milk war is on
in Millbury, in every sense of the word.
It will be remembered that The Spy of
few days ago, gave an exclusive ac-
count of the raise in price Of milk from
five to six cents a quart. That was
what happened at the time, and now
the case is reversed. Beginning today
the old schedule was in force, or in
other words, five cents quart was
charged.
The rise and fall of the price is the
cause of more than ordinary gossip.
BY the words of such peddlers as
| Welsh, Ballard and Rice, one would be
led to believe that the instigator Of the
| raise in price was Clark of Grafton,
who sells in Millbury He was the man
who wanted the price raised above all
| Others and he is the man who is in for
all kinds of trouble in the near future.
The milkmen above named, say that
| Clark played a low down game. He
claimed he was in favor of the raise
and went and told certain customers
of other peddlers he had not advanced
the price This fact, the other mem
| bers of the would-be trust, were slow
| to realize, but once they learned the
truth, were not slow to act. Friday was
the first day the other fellows got
on" and today the revised schedule
was put in force.
One of the most prominent milk men
in town met Mr.. Clark early yesterday
morning and accused him Of being a
| traitor. He further invited him off his
| cart, and offered to give him a written
guarantee that he would give him a
thrashing in less than two minutes. He
| says Clark had the object in view of
fooling the other fellows, and then get
ting their customers. He got few, the
| peddlers admit but in the future he
will be forced TO meet all kinds of
competition. One man stated that he
had lost 16 customers, and that he
knew something was wrong. He made
report to his fellow peddlers who had
raised the price and the cause was
quickly traced. A few of the milkmen
are in favor of placing the price at
seven cents a quart, but by all indica-
| tions the price for the next week, at the
least, will be five cents. This latest
move is a direct benefit to the consum-
| ers. The milkmen are certainly in a
queer box, and while other men in
towns of Worcester County are all
getting a higher price than for years,
the Millbury men will have to plod
along in the same old rut.

used for the public conveyance Of pas
sengers.
The selectmen have decided to have

posed extension viii be answered by
him.
Within a few days the new extension
! from Perryville to North GrOsvenor-
dale, Ct, will be inspected by the state
railroad commissioners. The line is
nearly completed and it is hoped by
the first of the year that 1T win be in
readiness to operate. Although the
weather conditions have been some
what against it, the two snow storms
proving a handicap to speedy work,
good progress has been made. IL is ex
pected the state commissioners viii at
once inspect the new route and APP
prove the new line. Thus a line will be
established between Worcester and
Danielson, Ct. a distance Of over 30
miles. II is expected that later. ex-
press cars viii run from the city to
the terminus Of the line carrying bag
gage and mail, and stopping only at
the large towns along the line.
The price Of milk has not been in
creased by many Of the dealers in this
vicinity. In other parts Of the state
the price has been advanced a cent a
quart Many Of the hOusekeepers are
now paying FIVE cents a quart. which
is. however. an advance Of cent a
quart. They claim they can secure just
as good milk at that price as for six
cents Many are now paying five cents
and are entirely satisfied. Some of the
Dudley dealers are charging six cents.

GRAFTON CENTRE IS
AGAINST A CHANGE
1t Is Argued That 1t will Mean An
Additional and Unnecessary
Expense For the Tax Payers 10
ShouIder-StiII Many Advocate
a Change

Special to The Spy.
Grafton, Dec. 22.-The long-looked-tor
town meeting, which will decide
whether the town will adopt precinct
voting or not, will be held Monday, at
8 o. M, in Town Hall The dividing OF
the town into precincts originated in
the north and south parts of the town.
and was Endorsed by many of the
prominent citizens.
Precinct voting is all right in its
place. but it means unnecessary ex-
pense for the town, residents of the
Centre say, and if they can prevent It,
the motion will not be carried Monday
night. They say Grafton on an average
since the high school site was settled
has had but two town meetings. d
week, and it Is argued it is not much
of a task for man who wishes to IN
terest himself in town affairs to rlde
a few miles when voting day comes
Precinct voting from an economical
point of view, means great zeal oI
expense to the town. Six tellers at
present can do the work for the four
villages, and if this motion is carried
it will mean that 16 men will have 10
be hired to accomplish the same re-
suits. at the salary of $3.50 Tor each
man. Now, can any sensible man see
any gain in this change? Voters OF
Grafton are asked to think twice De-
fore voting.
