extended stay in Springfield, Mass, has
leased the garage building in the rear
of Whitcomb Bros plant at the Black

Young men living in the Gospel viii
toward organizing a tennis tournament
which is expected to develop consider
able amount of sport during the summer
months. Unless the various details in
cident to starting the series of matches
can be completed at once the tourpa
ment will not be started until July /.
But meanwhile the members have pro-
ceeded to organize, electing Alfred j..
Mackay president and James NJ. Levie
secretary and director. A court commit
tee of 10 players has been named to
draft a tentative schedule of the
matches. Last season an informally ar
ranged tournament proved such sue
cess that an organized series of matches
was seriously discussed at the close OF
the summer. The formation of the club
is the first tangible result of this agi-
tation.
The aldermanic lighting committee
and representatives OF the Consolidated
Lighting Co, from which concern the
city buys the power for its public light
ing, are experimenting on new system
for lighting the small plaza in front of
the fire station. Since the era OF more
hurried exits began with the introduce
tion OF an auto fire truck at the station,
drivers of the big car have complained
of the meagre lighting facilities afford
ed them in guiding the car into Main
street on dark night. Formerly. the
approach to the station was rather poor
ly lighted by bracket lights attached to
the front OF the building. Having been
by the city council to make
change if necessary, the officials are try
ing out series OF 200 c. p. lights. Al
ready 40 G. p. lights have been tried
without the desired results. II is ex-
pected that a permanent solution of the
problem will be reached within few
days.

will proceed at once to build a
modern restaurant structure to be con-

market Only for the space of few |
hours did the bean foundry" so-called, |

While the little house was en- route |
across the lot to its new location on |
Main street. both water and gas conpec- |
tions we're cut off and the proprietors |
deemed it wise to close down in prefer I
ance to offering cold comfort to its |
guests. To-day the business of feeding |
the hungry was resumed in the "foun-
Dry" while laborers were turning the |
first stone on the foundation of the new
building.
