The tub shop has the foundation
laid for new StOrehOuse, which is to
be 36x6O and two stories high. The
building will be sided with iron siding
and will be nearly fire proof. This

1t is impossible to instruct and firm
ly impress upon the children not to
try to run in front Of a moving auto
mobile. Several times to the writer's
knowledge this has been done when
within few feet of the car. When
if misstep had been made a serious
result would have been unavoidable.
Under such circumstances would the
chauffer be to blame? Will parents
take notice of this and try to avoid ac-
cidents in this way as far as possible?
Since the blaze in the Pillsbury &
Baldwin dry kiln Thursday which
caused quite scare about town and
might have resulted in a more serious
fire but for the timely work of the fire
companies and the men at the shops
Mr.. Pillsbury has contracted for new
and fire proof kiln. At least as near
fire proof as possible to make. Mr..
Pillsbury has contracted with the
parties who have been making the
cement blocks for Burrows and Web
ster' S houses to make cement block
kiln. The block making machine. is
being installed to-day and brick will
soon be made for the building. This
is a progressive step by Pllisbury and
Baldwin which characterizes their
entire business and lessons further
danger from their kiln.
