ing In the local newspapers and pIac-
ing OF the warning on the public sign
posts in the town. Attorney Stewart
pointed ont that only one-half of the
statutes had been covered. as the
warning had been published in the
local newspapers only.
Chairman Petfis said that any town
meeting should be called as provided
thought Selectman Bailey would have
something to say in explanation of the
non-appearance of the warning on the
signposts.
Selectman Bailey said that the no.
tice came to him late in the afternoon
and that he had to hold the afternoon
paper up so that the notice could be
inserted to insure the calling Of the
meeting for Monday night. The notice
was not only late in arriving in his
hands, but he had some difficulty in
getting the members together to sign
it. In his efforts to get the notice in
the newspaper he had neglected to
have the notice posted on the sign
posts.
Chairman Pettis said that the action
taken at the previous meeting when
the resolution was passed could not
be binding on the assessors and that
any action that might have been taken
at the meeting on Monday night could
not have been binding on them either.
He said he felt that Attorney Stew
arts point was good one, but that 1t
might be possible to get the opinion OF
the town on the resolution at the meet
ing in spite of the fact ulat the meet
ing was not legal.
Judge John III. Barnes arose to state
that no action at the meeting could
have any binding effect. He went on
to say that the public acts of 1911
state that when the warning is posted
on the signposts the party who does
the posting must make returns to the
proper authorities and that this had
not been done at either meeting.
Robert McNeely raised the question
as to whether the previous meeting
had been legal
Chairman Pettis said that he die
not think he had any authority Other
than to adjourn the meeting If Attor-
ney Stewart insisted on his point
Attorney Stewart stated that he rep.
resented a number of people presen-
at the meeting and insisted on hi!
point and the d1air adjourned thu
meeting at 500 O'Clock.
After the meeting SeIectman Bailey
taking exceptions to Judge Barnes
statement, stated to The Bulletin tina
the return Of the posting Of the warn
ing for the previous meeting had beer
| signed and were properly recorded.
The calling Of the meeting to rescins
the resolution came as result of TIL
erection of the Winchester Woolel
connpany's factory in ThamesvilIe. TIL,
contract was awarded to an out o
| town construction company. The loca
! trades union felt that the contrac
| should have been awarded locally AM
| forthwith voted to call special tow

been posted at the cross roads, also
bad curves In the roads and railroad

to get into IL not careful.
The signs are OF a good size and
in very noticeable places along the
roads Just before the approach to the
bad spots. II one IS Approaching a
cross road large black cross Is paint
ed across the entire sign and the LETT
tering tells what one will approach
II one Is to cross railroad the black
painted signs are also shown but are
crossed at their intersection with
white narrow strips. If a sharp curve
| is near the sign also has in black, g
/ shary curve painted on 1t and so de-
scrfbed. These signs were painted
