A special town meeting has been
called for Wednesday, October rs, to
see if the town will make further ap-
preparation for the expenses on the
south channel bridge. The sum of
$32, 900 was raised at the annual meet
ing for this purpose, but owing to the
necessity of going down several feet
farther than was anticipated on the
north abutment of the bridge, the con-
tract for the masonry work done by
Ellis &, Buswell figured up considerably
larger than was estimated. Probably
between $1,000 and $4,000 more will be
needed. The contract date for the
completion of the bridge was Thursday

Judge Philbrook as Choirmaster, last

There could have been none without a

to attempt to fill the important place,
that il suffered the choir to dsband, in
the hopes that, with the end of the
vacation months the judge might be
prevailed upon to assume it's manage
