When the two sections re completed there will be nearly five niles of extra good highway. The indications are that there will @ a large attendance at the town leeting at ? o'clock to morrow after oon at the town house in Stafford, to ake action on the proposed abatement if taxes on the new button industry which is to take over the Hope mill It Staffordville. There will be in all some opposition to the proposal, but the majority of the voters will favor the abatement, it is thought. While the industry is small to start with it may grow to be large one, and the town needs industrial growth. Should 'he industry prove prosperous it will not only enhance the value of the houses already built at that end of ihe town, but in all probability more homes would be built, thus adding to he taxable list. Those who favor abatement cite the case of the Rhode island company which was induced O locate here on a similar proposition md is now one of our most floruishing industries. h
