WILLIAMSTOWN
Important Town Meeting to Be Held
Thursday, June %.

Every taxpayer and every one inter
ested in the welfare of the town should
plan to attend the special town meeting
to be held next Thursday, the 22d. at
2 p. m. The questions to be considered
are to see If the town will vote, to rescnd
or reconsider the vote taken at March
meeting TO raise 30 cents on the dollar to
put in heating and yentilating plant
in the village schoolhouse as ordered by
the state board of health. 1t is claimed
! by some that the state board are iusti
| fed in their action and that the town
should not be put to this expense at this
time. The contrary view is that the
town is bound to carry out the work
as voted last March and that if neces-
sary it may as we'll be done now as at
any time Further, that the state board
has authority to do the job in case the
town refuses and that the town must
foot the bills.
An expression of the town will also be
asked in regard to the purchase Of new
road machine as has been requested of
the selectmen by the road commissioner.
Here, too, there is much difference Of
opinion. IL is reported that the commits
sioner is OF the opinion that the machine
is past its usefulness. though il has been
used but two years and that he cannot
put the roads in SHAPE without a new
one. 1t is stated on the other hand, that
the machine is good for two years more
If it is properly and not earelessly used
and that the roads, which it is admitted,
are in very poor shape, especially in some
parts of the town, need looking after
much earlier than the first of June. Tt !
is stated that the commissioner will be |
asked why he has not smoothed up the |
numbered roads in town ans avoided a
loss Of money from the state Of nearly 1
5000, and also why reports have not been /
made each month as required BY law /
Your correspondent is not taking sides in
any Of these matters, but is stating
what he has heard talked in the past
week. Voters are urged to turn out and
let the points at issue be fully and free
" discussed, and then such action taken
as will be for the best interest Of the
town as a whole.
