The meeting of the Universalist
parish Tuesday evening was called to
see whether the parish would vote to
buy a lot for church, and transact
other business in connection with that
ID was decided 10 take no action IN the
matter Of purchasing lot at present.
The acceptance by Rev. W. W. Hooper
Of tue call TO the pastorate recently
given him was conditioned upon the
society buyng lot and going to work
with a view TO building church. The
result ~ the meeting Tuesday evening
practically settles it that Mr.. Hooper
will not accept the call.
Freeman Farrar of sumner was at
south Paris on business Tuesday. Mr..
Farrar is a well-known citizen of Sumner,
being long resident of that section OF
the town where the Redding post office
is situated. commonly known as Far
rar's Mills" He has recently sold his
farm there TO J. 2. Skillings, the Bethel
spool manufacturer. Mr.. Skillings has
also bought other woodland in the
vicinity, and will put up mill there 10
saw ont the lumber. Mr. Farrar has
baryained for the place at West Sumner
formerly occupied and now owned by
Wallace RyersOn of this place. This Is
where Mr.. Ryerson lived during the
years that he was carrying on an extern
sive egg business, travelling over quite
section of western Maine.
The selectmen, with Walter l.. Gray
rs surveyor, investigated the question OF
draining Western Avenue, according 10
the article in the town meeting warrant,
the first of last week The result of the
survey does not promise an easy or cheap
solution of the question. A sewer might
be run down alongside the railroad 70
the river, as has been suggested; but IL
would have TO 90 down about thirty feet
at the deepest point, and would be very
deep all the way. Another suggested
plan was to carry a drain across the rail-
road so as to discharge near the creamery |
into the hollow in the rear of that build |
ing. When the Grand Trunk filled the |
hollow in front of the depot, they laid a |
large tile across from their north line, |
and it was proposed to utilize this. The |
survey shows that the upper end Of this |
tile is six-tenths of a foot lower than
the land TO be drained on the Avenue. |
This makes that route impracticable I'M
less the drain is carried clear across into
the hollow, and then it will be simply a
surface drain and not sewer. This last
objection also holds against tile laid
east through Gothic Street, which would
also have TO 90 very deep and be expen-
Sive IL is not understood that the Sc
lectmen will report any method of drain
age as feasible.
In the Probate Court Tuesday there
was a hearing on the will of the late
Stephen Z. Kimball of this place, which
is contested By this will, which was
Kali hanW sR.
