Meeting of Board of Trade.

A meeting of the board of trade, with
good attendance, was held at the
assessors office Wednesday evening
President j. Fl. Bean brought before the
board, as one matter to be considered, q
suggestion for little financial aid that
that had been made to him by officials
of the Western Maine Poultry Associa-
ton. This association, be said, had just
had its first successful show here, and
was to have another here next year.
While the association had paid its cur
rent expenses, it had had to go in debt
in part for the coops which it had made
for the show. A number of the young
men of the place had put in large
amount of work for the show, and they
would appreciate it il little financial
aid should be extended them.
There seemed to be general dispo-
sition TO aid the association, and after
some discussion, a motion was made to
give the association $500 from the
funds in the treasury Of the board. The
amount was later amended to $4,000 and
this was voted unanimously.
Alton C.. Wheeler called attention to
the fact that in the last edition OF the
tcicPuOuC uiONtoiy SOt oul W thC u ANU
Telephone Co., South Paris did not ap-
pear in the index, or elsewhere in the
book except under the head of the Nor
way exchange. This frequently makes
confusion for those elsewhere who do
not understand the telephone situation
here. A committee of three was ap-
pointed, consisting of Alton G. Wheeler,
n. Dayton Bolster and Walter l.. Gray,
to confer with General Manager Abbott
of the Maine Telephone Co., and en-
deavor to have South Paris on the map
in the next directory.
The matter of the necessity for sewer
extension was brought up by Walter L..
Gray, and after it had been discussed
for while, committee was appointed
to bring before the people the necessity
of the situation, and secure action upon
il. This committee is N. Dayton Boil
