features being a simple simple busi- ness proposition and as clear as the nose on ones face. MT. ASpinall in- sisted that there were not three men in the hall who could explain it.
 $. P Williams then moved that the resolution be tabled until some future meeting. Mr. Calor protested, de- claring that the agreement had been Held up for over a year. He requested the withdrawal of the motion, plead ing for a chance to explain. For Gods sake let us tell our story" said Mr.. Calor, and then turn us down if you want to- Mir. Williams granted Mr. Calor's request but MT. Larson, who seconded the motion, re- fused to agree to the motions with drawal and Chairman Freeman had to call for a vote, the meeting turning down the plan to table.
 The discussion was then resumed. A. N. Clark expressed the belief that the water company is generous with the town. A series of amendments for the appointment of committees to take up the matter of getting low CT rate with the officers of the com pany, were then hurled at the chair man but all failed of passage. Cbjec- tion was also raised to the town S pay ing for hydrants on dead ends but 1t proved futile and the contract with the single amendment, giving the fire chief the right to inspect the hydrants at any time, was finally accepted.
 MT Madeleys resolution instruct ing the selectmen to pave the way Tor the purchase of the water company plant was then introduced and Chair man Freeman stated that while it was, in his opinion, out of order, he would put it to a vote to get the sense of the meeting. The resolution was passed as President Calor had offered to turn it over tomorrow" and Mir Larson's vote of thanks was suggest ed.
 A resolution, for which the social ists were also responsible. giving all political parties equal rights in the use of the town hall, was then passed without discussion.
 A. H. Condcll moved that the re- ports of the town officers be &C., cepted. MT. Larson wanted the words under protest" added to the accep- tance, as he said the statement print ed in book form and distributed by the selectmen, were the most incom- prehensible reports he had ever
 
 without the amendment.
 Special Meeting
 After the regular session had ad- journed the call for the special town meeting was read by the clerk. A. H. Condell immediately objected to voting for a new road in Westwood park. He claimed to be always in favor of public improvements when
 
 the expenses, but he said a tax rate had already been esta blished that would not produce sufficient revenue to meet the ordinary bills and he did not think any extra" should be sad died on the selectmen. The cost of the proposed highway, he explained, had been estimated by the selectmen at $1,500.
 There were other objections of similar order. Residents of West wood park made an earnest appeal for the road. They did not expect the town to provide a boulevard for them but they thought they were at least entitled to passway that would ac- commodate teams, used in doing busi- ness with that settlement They thought the expense would be much less than s1,500 and it was their opinion that the taxes they paid reg ularly entitled them to that much at least
 The voters responding to their re- quests and passed the resolution fav- bring the highway.
 Their was but little objection to the motion introduced by Rev. F. L.. Grant and seconded by A. l.. Rogers, for the installation of light on Strong Court and it was passed
 A. l.. Rogers and l.. H. Mills, rep resenting the school board, stood sponsors for the resolution for the establishment of night school. They explained that it was primarily in- tended for the non- English speaking people and that they already had 5 unsolicited applications from recent arrivals on American shores who are desirous of learning the language of the country. They asked for an appropriation of s150 to cover the | expense of running the school for sixteen weeks after February 1.
 MT. Mills explained that the school | would be operated two nights a week | Tn the school building. Two teach 1 CTS would be employed, each receiv- ! ing probably SIPS a night They would be but little additional expense l and the benefits would be great. | Should the attendance prove the | school to be unwarranted, the school | board. could discontinue it without any trouble.
 The meeting was clearly in sym pathy with the plan and the reso- ution was passed
 An effort of A. H. Condel to have Strong Court accepted as a highway was ruled out of order, after John R. Minor had objected, and a mo- ion to adjourn was passed without my objection.
