The Special Town Meeting

The REPORTER is gratified to note
that action is being taken with regard to
the lot which the town owns and on
which it is designed to erect a munich
pal buildings, as indicated by the war
rant which we publish in another
column, calling for meeting of the
voters in Engine Hall. Saturday after
noon, October 81.
The action which may be taken under
the articles already in the warrant in
tie right direction but it Is likely that
the citizens might wish to do more than
to provide for clearing the lot and
them to do this other articles should be
added. In the matter of retaining
wall it will doubtless be desirable to 80
locate it that it may serve as the founda-
ton for the rear of the new municipal
building. Ii this is the case 1t might
become necessary to know the style of
the building. In a general way. aud this
would call for the appointment of a
committee and a good deal of careful
investigation, Articles may he added to
the warrant anytime tomorrow friday
or during saturday forenoon and one
which will permit the voters, should
they so desire, to appoint committee,
or take such other preliminary steps as
are necessary, should be made part of
this warrant.
Matters entirely apart from the Hesel-
ton House lot and the Municipal build
ing will be brought up at this meeting
and articles providing for them will be
added to the warrant before it is posted
Among these will be the question of
accepting a slight change in location of
of the new street, as already laid out
and accepted, from the termination of
Alder street, near the residence of Mark
Lumber Co. The change is very slight,
only a matter of sixteen feet, but an APP
peal from the location previously made,
aiken by W. 5. savage, will be with
drawn II the new location is accepted.
The change is agreeable to all parties
living near in that vicinity and is looked
,, upon favorably by the selectmen. A
special hearing on this matter will be
held at the Office of the selectmen, next
Saturday fOrnoon.
Another matter, Glossy related to that
JUS; mentioned will be brought up for
action at the meeting of October 27.
This is with regard to accepting a three
rod street from West Front street to
the mill of the Skowhegan Lumber
company and continuing from their
plant to meet the street mentioned
in the preceding paragraph. The pro-
posed location of this street is from a
point on " est Front street about 140
feet to the west of the lot on which the
residence of F. P. Pencil is located,
a distance of 65 rods, and thence over
the land of the Skowhegan Lumber Co.,
to their mill distance of 10 rods, max
ing a total distance of rs rods from
" est Front street to the new mill on the
bank of the river. The location then
turns to the east, continuing on the
land Of the kowhegan Lumber COM
pany TO Alder street extension. Mr.,
Penuell and the okowhegan Lumber
Co.. donate the land required for this
street without cost to the town, for the
purpose of highway. The object of
the proposed street is to complete AL
