1t has been decided to change the To-
cation of the telephone trunk line from
C. E. Glidden's to East Putney by re-
moving the line from the highway and
running it near the river. A right of way
has been obtained from the land owners
along the proposed route. On account
of the fact that the telephone wires
may be used and are used for tele-
graphing, the company could not get
permission TO run the line by way of the
railroad the railroads contract with the
Western Union Telegraph company pro-
hibiting such an arrangement.
The school house committee hold meet
ings every few days in an effort to de-
eide upon a location for the proposed new
school building. The last meeting was
held Monday night, but two members of
the committee were not present A To-
cation practically was decided upon, but
afterwards it was thought best to consider
the matter further. The committee is
hampered in it's work by not being able
to buy the site which 1t wants. 1t has
the right to condemn land anywhere, but
prefers to acquire site with good feel
ing all around rather than have building
operations delayed by carrying the matter
into the courts. At the same time the
sentiment Of the committee seems to be
to do just what is best for the schools
and the town by getting site which will
be entirely satisfactory, delay or no delay.
