Solicitor Agard, to the erect that such
action was desired by interested prop

Michael J. Burke. representing the
Ancient Order of Hibernians, wanted
some hight on the matter, and if the
organization was to treat with the
committee. He said there was an ev-
ldent misunderstanding between the
committee and the organization and
added that the HibernianS were ready
! to treat fairly with the town, and had
been since the start, and therefore the
organization had been misrepresented
James A. WEIGH spoke in favor of
continuance, stating that conditions
had changed recently that led to the
bellef that present property owners,
or some of them, would probably have
suggestions to make at that time Mr.
WEIGH said that perhaps by that time
the misunderstanding that evidently
existed between the Hibernians and
ths committee could be satisfactorily
adjusted
William r. Saunders called atten-
tion to three dangerous curves in the
Shore road in the section that was
being rebuilt by the state. He said
these curves should be eliminated, and
this could be only done by the town
furnishing the land required to
strafghten the road at the three points.
Colonel Rodman state highway COM
missioner. he said, was strongly in
favor of having straight and level
road at these acute curves.

on one of these curves, informed the
council that If the town wanted to

required land

The grading of Granite street mat
ter was then taken up. 1t was voted
that the change be made as suggested
by the special committee, which
leaves the grade practically as at

was established for the accommoda-

subsequently, abandoned by the COM
