The town council, acting with
the board of trustees Of the
graded school have been for
some time busy killing two birds
with one stone. or rather lump
of clay. The clay excavated at
new school building site has
been hauled upon some Of our
sandy streets very much to their
Improvement. It is a quick and
useful way to dispose of this
clay, and was certainly happy
thought. Mayor Smyth in his
last Inaugural address, pledged
himself and his able council to
the upbuilding of the town and
we can expect great things dur
ikg the year.
