Dispossessed-Proposed Fire District Cleaning np-A Chemical Engine Coming Minstrel Show - Business and Games,

The summary process case for - the dlspossession of tenant, which came
 up before Justice wakeman a few days ago, and from whose decision
 there was some talk of taking an ap-
 peal, has been allowed to rest accord ing to the decision of the court, and 1t is now known that the tenant will
 leave by April 1, and the owner will occupy his own house.
 It has been suggested that a fire dis
 tr1ct be established in the center of
 the town, so that those who live with
 in the district can control a number of things which are now beyond their
 wish for this state of affairs, all they
 have to do is to sign a petition calling
 for town meeting, and then if the
 majority agrees the thing is done. It
 is only a question of time when the
 town must come to this. Among oth-
 CT things better system of informing
 the people where a fire is must be de-
 vised. At the recent fire when MT.
 Hayes barn was destroyed, the whis-
 tie on the Rubber Factory gave one
 long blast and two short ones. As
 this was not repeated many did not
 catch the combination. And some of
 significatfon- It is thought there
 ought to be a telephone in the house of
 the Hook & Ladder company, and
 someone always there. at least in the Of OhlhSS, to ldHS any HleSSdSe WHICH
 might come. If a fire district is set apart, this can be done.
 There is a general cleaning up going on in the center of the town, in an
 have been trimmed; the lawns have been raked over; men are at work cleaning out the catch basins; and the sides of the roadways are being even ed up and graded where necessary,
 while the debris of the winter is being taken away.

 wedding day from until 6 o'clock, to give the ladies in attendance an op-
 portunity to attend the ceremony and the reception.
 Tomorrow the Home Made Bakery will put it's new delivery wagon on the road for the summer. This will be great accommodation to those who dwell in cottages by the sea- Smith Brothers, well known contrac- 1 tors and carpenters, have the contract for building a new cottage near Mill River bridge, for one of our Hungar- ian citizens. F The new Ajax chemical engine for the Fairfield Rubber Factory, has been tested and gives great satisfaction It threw a stream of chemicals over the top of the building. This demonstra- | ton of it's power has impressed our hremen very favorably and they are considering the proposition to purchase | one for their use. It is light and could 1 be easily taken to a fire without wait | ing, for the men belonging to the de- partment to assemble.
