 The court of burgesses will hold 8 meeting Thursday evening to decide definitely what is to be done at the Congregational church corner. The railroad would like to have the track remain at it's present level, and have the sidewalk and curb raised around the church. As the road is willing to stand the expense of this change, not much opposition is anticipated. The walk and curb will probably have to be raised about IA inches. The dip in the highway near the SpenkocE bakery is also to be eliminated, and this will necessitate the raising o the walk at this point. How this ex pense will be met will also be decided at the meeting. The contract for tn, maoadamizing has not yet beel lplaoed.

 Attorney Willis H. Reed is receiv. ing congratulations on winning his first case in the supreme court The case is an important one, as it was without precedent and there were two principles of law involved on which an opinion was desirable. Mr. Reed is attorney for the town of Union, the defendant in the case. Frank R. Jackson ct al. brought suit against ths town of Union to recover taxes paid on Q quantity of lumber stored in the town. Mir. Reed held first that lumber was 8 manufactured pro- duct, and secondly that it was subject to taxation in the town where it was cut and stored, rather than the town where the owners have their place of business. The superior court sus- tained these opinions, and now the su- preme court gives him a verdict. Lumber men all over the state have been interested in the case, and there are several similar cases in which the contending parties have waited to see what action the supreme court would take.
