e. Crosby & Co. are installing in their
elevator near the Bridge street railroad
crossing a complete outfit for grinding
corn, provender, oats and other cereals.
The contract for the machinery has been
awarded to the Lane company of Exeter,
N. H., and the equipment will be the most
modern and up-to-date in New England.
At the present time the power in the
Crosby plant is furnished by five electric
motors. The number will be increased
soon to u to give sufficient power for
the mill. The machinery will consist of
large roller mill for making the highest
grade of meal, a disc mill, corn cracker
and custom mill for the benefit of the
farmers. This together with the neces-
sary cleaning apparatus etc, will make
fine plant of so tons capacity in "a
hours. In addition to furnishing grain
locally the mill will be used largely for
milling in transit. 1t will be ready to
operate about Nov. IS and will be in
charge of Frank w Pettee, who has had
experience in the business. Since the old
Valley Mill was burned. which stood just
north of Bridge street on the west
side of the railroad track, there has been
no place in the east village where farmers
could get their grists ground. and they
will appreciate the new arrangement

Health Officer Henry Tucker has re-
ceived a letter from DR.. Henry d. Holton.
secretary and executive officer of the
state board of health, in which the danger
of injury TO the public health by burning
leaves and other rubbish in streets is set
forth The letter is as follows: your
attention is hereby called to the fact that
leaves and similar refuse are being burn
ed in the streets and yards of the village,
filling the air with smoke, which not
only is a nuisance but by reason of the
irritation 1t produces in the nose, throat
and lungs is injurious TO the public
health Therefore We recommend that
you take steps to prevent the continuance
of this nuisance" Dr. Tucker has posted
notices in several parts Of the town call
ing attention to the fact that the burning
of leaves is contrary to the rules of the
board of health, and since Monday
marked decrease has been noted by him
I'm the number of fires in the streets and
yards. On Sunday many took advantage
of the time from work and in many parts
of the town the smoke hung heavy i'm the
air. Although the board of health does
not threaten to take any radical steps
in abating the nuisance it Is well for
residents to remember that they are
breaking an ordinance of the board when
they burn leaves. The rubbish, accord
ing to law. should be taken somewhere
and dumped.
