 There is practically no discuss ion of the good roads question in Sharon this year. The matter of asking or not ask ing for an appropriation for road build ing purposes will come up for vote at town meeting Monday.

 The town clerk and selectmen, re- moved S7 names from the voting list this year and added nine new ones. The decrease is caused by death and re- movals from town.
