their orders and there are times when | the crossing is not protected at all. | There is also objection to the use Of | a white flag by the fagman, auto | ists arguing that it does ont signify | danger. They believe red flag l should be used instead. The untilities committee of the as- 1 sociation declares that in a single | night between and 9 o'clock 254 | automobiles went over the crossing. | Other nights the count showed the | traffic to be heavy and the committee reported that while they were on the | watch there were a number of mar 1 row escapes, because of the lack of 1 adequate protection. If the new signals do not give sat- | isfaction the local association pro- l poses to keep up its agitation until l gates are installed or the company provides a substitute guard of equal merit.

 The appropriation made at the an- nual town meeting is sufficient to cover the expense of conducting the school for the entire year but if there is not a substantial gain in atten- dance by the Christmas recess the school board may decide to discon- tinue the sessions
