SIRATFORD

The town meeting last night was
largely attended and proved to be very
interesting. With one exception all
the requests made in the warning
were granted. The proposition to in
stall new heating apparatus in the
town hall. as indicated in the Farmer
a week or two ago, was. at the sugges-
ton of Selectman Nettleton laid upon
the table for indefinite postponement.
Therefore no addition will be built at
the rear Of the town hall. J. Henry
Brakeman was chosen as chairman of
the meeting. and the first proposition,
authorizing the Selectmen of the town
to borrow S44 900 was adopted as per a
resolution submitted by Judge Curtis.
He explained that 1t had been found
cent. and that it would be necessary
to pay IL per cent. That. he said,
is as we'll as the town can do. Rev.
Mr.. Bullock. speaking to the resolution.
thought the town was unfortunate in
many things. and that the Selectmen
were constantly asking for more. He
said the annual reports of the town
were a perfect farce. He was of the
opinion that the town had come almost
to the stopping point
In the mat Ter of providing more fire
MIGRANTS for the town it was agreed
to do so. and the Selectmen were en-
powered to place as many hydrants
as in their judgment were needed at
a cost of S25 each per year. Select
man Welles said he already had ap-
plea lions for seven. One Is needed
at the dock. one or two near the new
school house. one at the Lines farm,
etc. The question of lighting the
streets provoked considerable discus
sion but was finally acted upon favor
ably. Judge Peck said the time had
come to make a beginning and Mr..
Northrop wanted to whole town light
ed. 1t was determined to have the
gas lamps placed as near as practica BILE
at the street corners. and to have them
evenly dis ,ributed in all parts of the
town. 1t was finally voted to ap-
propriate $3.50 for so lights at $25 q
year. and they are to be placed by
Jan. 10. The agent of the lighting
cSmpany was present and said the

lamps will be of 80 candle power. The
lamps are to contain The names of the
streets. A committee of four citizens
was appointed to cooperate with the
Selectmen to determine where the
ligh,s shall be placed. If there are
no gas mains where a lamp is wanted,
a gasoline light Of equal power will be
installed. The contract is to hold
good for five years.
1t was voted to spend $135 for a
typewriter and desk to be used in the
office of the town clerk and the judge
of probate for the purpose Of typewrit-
ing the records. The sum of $1,000
was appropriated for grading the lot
where the Franklin school stands. and
for making the walks. Mr.. Brakeman
this matter. and said that the present
contractors would do the work some
$500 cheaper than it could be done by
outside parties. Most of the grading
has already been done. He said that
300 children will soon go % the new
school house. which he called a hand

The next question for consideration
was concerning the fire department.
AS before announced in the Farmer,
Arthur Sammis. for the committee.
recommended that the town purchase
locomobile truck for $2.100. and hat
$500 more be appropriated to pay the
balance due for the fire alarm appar-
atuS, to buy more hose and to re1m-
burse Chief Judson for money he had
spent. Both Mr.. Bullock and Mr..
Conine opposed the purchasing of the
locomobile. and Mr.. Conine contended
that chemicals will not put out a fire.
He cited cases Of many fires in town
where neither chemicals nor hose wa
ter could save the burning buildings.
He would sooner throw his money in
to the street than buy a chemical en-
CINE. Mr.. Bartram spoke several
times in favor of buying the locomo-
bile, as recommended by the commit
tee. He thought the matter of fire
just as important as that Of schools
or any other question. Judge Cur is
thought it good thing to take an ac-
count of stock. now and then. and
asked Selectman Welles how much had
been added to the debt of the town
during the past year. Mr.. Welles
said it amounted to s66.500 Tt was
pointed out that at the rae things are
