 | With the coming of spring there will be decided improvements in Sharon. The sewer is to be extended from it's present termiAus opposite the old King home stead up to the summit opposite the Schuyler cottage now owned by MT. Waitt, then up Overlook Avenue some five hundred feet. Several connections have been ordered and the sewer com pany look forward to decided increase in its patrons. Along this same trench has been contracted for by our enterpris- ing Mir. Waitt 8 four inch water pipe at the end of which is to be installed fire hydrant with various service pipes to his house and grounds. >
 Dr. Newell Dwight Hills of Ply mouth church, Brooklyn will give a lecture in the Sharon Casino on Tues day evening, March 31 at 8:15. Dr. Hills will be the guest of MT. and Mrs. G. w. Hertzel and through their kind ness and generosity we are privileged to hear him. The subject of his lecture will be announced that evening. Dr. Hillls should be so well known in this vicinity that he needs no introduction. He IS in demand all over the country and this is one of the rare treats Sharon experiences. The seats are now on sale at the pharmacy. The proceeds, of the entertainment will be given to the Sharon entertainment course.
 The acceptance of the layout of the highway by the town of Sharon that was presented by sour liberal MT. Waitt will be one of Sharon s greatest improve ments. It closes forever that long and dreaded hill and turn at the north end of Overlook Avenue. The Schuyler place referred to is also to be improved and all the necessary modern improvements in- stalled. MT. Waitt certainly is one of Sharon's most enterprising and liberal citizens. His plans for improving and beautifying the town are far beyond our most sanguine expectations. Such men bring to our town, artists of education and culture to plan houses, the laying out of lawns, drives and walks that add so much beauty to our already attractive village.
