 To Use Upson Chapel.
 It has been practically decided by the members of the school board to rent the chapel at Upson's corner, Kensington for use of first grade pu- pills in the Kensington Grammar school next year.

Many local citizens are inclined to criticize the state highway depart ment because of the roads condition. The matter was discussed in the win- ter and at the February town meet ing the sum of $200 was voted as the towns share for the repairing of the road.
