Today town meeting will be held
in Bar Harbor for the purpose of vot-
ing upon the automobile question. and

OF first selectman. The other towns
on the island are evidently going to

the matter. for Southwest Harbor has
scheduled its town meeting for Fri
day, July 16, and Mt. Desert and Ire
mont will hold their town meetings
Saturday, July II, at 10 A. M.
