Entrance to Cemetery, to be Presented by F. F. Paen

At the meeting of the directors of the Stafford Springs Cemetery associ- ation held at the library building last evening, very pleasing announce ment was made by President F F. Patten. At the annual meeting a committee, consisting of F.F. Patten, R. W. Smith and O. F. Harwood, was appointed to investigate and report plan for improving the entrance to the cemetery. The committee found that to erect suitable entrance and fence along the front of the cemetery would cost more than the association has on hand that can be used for the purpose. Mir. Patten's proposal was that he would present the entrance if the association would erect an iron fence along the whole of the front of the cemetery and place a curbing and concrete walk from the south corner of the cemetery property on West Main street to the entrance. It was
The Press., 1912-06-12

unanimously voted to accept the prop
 osition, and S2OOO was appropriated, provided that the borough establish the necessary grade of the street. The
 borough already has had a survey made and the matter will come up at the next meeting of the burgesses. The plans are for a handsome iron fence along the front of the cemetery, about 800 feet long. The length of the curbing and a five-foot sidewalk will be about 400 feet. A drawing of the proposed entrance to be given by MT. Patten is shown above. The two columns, which will be of gran ite, will be 16 feet high and about
 five feet square at the base. They will be erected by the Flynt company of Monson. The same committee that was appointed to report plan was elected to carry it out. A vote of thanks was extended to MT. Patten for his generous proposition.

Indications are. according to the

neither President Taft nor Colonel

needs % more; Roosevelt must have
116 more to win.
OF the total number Of delecates
elected sixty are uninstructed and un-
certain. Also there are sixty dele
gates yet to be chosen. OF these 12O
delegates il is not possible that
Roosevelt Will get 116. 1t is highly
improbable that Taft will get half Of
them. 1t would therefore appear that
the fight will be precipitated after
the first ballot, each of the leaders
trying to win delegates from the
lesser candidates.
There are two lesser candidates.
