and il was his intention 10 acquire the
old Snow tavern property, make some
alterations and operate Il a summer
hotel. After Mr. Houghton had looked
over the property, however, he decided
that the cost Of the repairs would make

was one of those interested in carrying
the town for license il is safe 10 assume
that no application will be made for
