| Notice is served by the authorities that
all automobile owners should make early
preparations for their 1917 licenses, SO
| that they may have them on hand before
the first of the year Ii motorists send
in their applications for registration and
number plates at once, the police believe
that much needless trouble will be avoid
ed in the early weeks OF the year. Here
tofore there have been many instances
where auto owners have nursed the de-
fusion that fresh licenses were unneces-
sary until the country roads were open
to motorists in the spring. The practice
of using automobiles all the year around
there in the city has grown to large pro-
portions in recent years and nth each
recurring new year the police have had
their troubles with delinquent auto own
ers. It is stated very emphaticaily that
drivers who are dilatory in this matter
will be brought into court for violation
of the automobile law after the hrst
] of the year.
Wiley street, favored by nature and
improved by George w. Mann, and the
Young thoroughfares of its own vicinage,'
Mann and Laws streets, are to prone
next spring by the foresight OF their
benefactor, who has announced pan
for erecting six new dwelling houses IN
that neiphborhood. Since last spring
Mr.. Mann has caused to be erected two
new houses on Wiley street and he now
owns several dwellings on the same
street, but his present plans call Tor an
eysn more ambitious addition to the
realty values of that district: Douoie
+onement houses are Mr.. Mann's special
~ and he had so much faith IN the III
t1re of North Barre realty, that work
ON the half-doz houses will -ot De
long DELAYED. Each house viii nave ia,-
oral dimensions of q and 80 ieet, each
III an ell ls feet wide and "A feet
