THE FLOW OF oRAToRY
on Mr. Hayes motion then started.
Ex-Representative Dayton was the
first to take the floor. He said in part
l most emphatically object to Mr.
Hayes motion. What do we know as
to what the selectmen propose to do!
Nothing! We have the great safe,
which has been the bone Uf conten ton.
For years many of the citizens have
desired to have this Town hall en-
larged. The young people have ad-
vOcated 1t and worked for it. In 1901,
when a subscription paper was started
to raise funds for building on to the
hall, the paper had such names as
Hill, Bird, Allen and other taxpayers.
In face of the general desire of the
people to enlarge the hall and the last
representative town meeting, what
did the selectmen do? They sneaked
of and bought a safe costing $3.50, or
$500 when it is landed in Bethlehem.
Was it bargain day in safes? Then,
too, the selectmen ask for separate
building and you can easily figure the
expense up to $14OO. Mr. Dayton then
spoke in favor Of vault, which would
last for all time and give satisfaction.
We had an intelligent meeting and
voted to build on to the hall and sell
the safe. We say to the selectmen,
Wen forgive you for the blunder you
have made.
At this juncture some one in the
rear of the hall butted in, which
brought the fist Of the moderator down
on the table with bang.

said that Mr. Hurlburt is here and he

he had built number of vaults. A
