Thomas O'Keefe, hopes to be able to have the new rail in position soon as we'll as the new $3OOO pipe organ which is being constructed for the church at the present time.
 The selectmen have finally de- termined how the $2OOO appropriated for the permanent repair of Main street shall be expended. l.. F. Lorimer and N. P. Clarke from the state highway commission were in town Monday, and went over the Main street with the selectmen. They explained thoroughly to the selectmen the expense of the various kinds of surfaces and their opinion as to their wearing qualities. The strip that badly needs repairing or resurfacing is from the turnout on North Main street to the Wales road on South Main street, distance of nearly two miles. They have decided to start the work at the corner of Harrison avenue, about a quarter of a mile south of the turnout and carry the work through the center of the town. A scarifier will be used on the large steam roller and the old surface will be picked up. The roadscraper will be used to round up the old surface and a surface of first-class gravel will be used on top of this to the function of Main and High streets. | After this is rolled down and oiled surface will be put on. From the junction of High street south trap rock surface will be put on after the old traprock is picked up and rounded and a light oil surface put on, and the rolling down of the same heavy oil surface will be added. This same method will be con- tinued south until the appropriation is expended. The selectmen hope to be able to carry the strip with the money available as far as Cushman street, at least. The work was started and it is in charge of Frank
