Attention of Property Owners to Be Called to New Sidewalk Proposi- ton - Democratic Candidate to Mako Final Appeal to Voters.

1 Mako Final Appeal to Voters. Plans for the formation of a. build | ing association to take LID the matter ] of erecting dwelling houses and per haps a structure suitable for manu-
 featuring purposes were among the 1 matters discussed at the November | meeting of the Business and Improve l ment assO Ociation's directors last eve- l ming. There is a deplorable lack of 1 tencm ents in which to house people employed here and as a result a num- | Der of factory hands have to com- | mute daily. The Business Mems asso- citation is attempting to remedy this condition and the directors last night decided to call a special meeting in the near future to consider the mat ter of having a realty company or ganizeG among the men of the town to go into the building of homes as a financial as we'll as civic proposi- ton.
 Many other questions on civic mat ters were considered by the directors. The sidewalk committee reported that it is making arrangements to send letters to property owners on streets recently surveyed calling attention to the action of the recent town meeting in authorizing the selectmen to use IS per cent. of the highway appro- priation in assisting to defray the ex- pense of building permanent side walks. The town will pay twenty five per cent. of the cost of the i'm provement until the appropriation Is used up. Two property owners have already taken advantage of the offer and 1t is expected a number of others will follow suit in the spring.
 Railroad officials have promised the utilities committee to repair the approach to the passenger station in the near future, their attention haV- ing been called to it's condition by the chairman.
 The directors were advised that the selectmer have purchased a silent officer for use in regulating the tra1- f7c at the center and it will be put in position on Central square as soon as arrangements can be made for look ing after the lamp which it will carry at night
 Lack of interest in the outing held at Compounce recently, as far as To- cal people were concerned, makes a continuance of this annual feature of the associations social activities pro blcmatical, the committee or ar engagements having reported that US success is questionable.
 Besides considering local matters the board discussed the activities or the State Chamber of Commerce In informal fashion.
 Club Clears $525.
 Approximately $525 was cleared by the Woman's club from the garden party held in the Town hall recently for the benefit of the library fund and according to officers of the organiZa- tion the amount now in the treasury as the result of three years of hard work totals about $2,3O0. The party was a splendid financial success de- spite the fact that illness am ong the committee of arrangements interfered to some extent with the plans and entertainment features had to be en- tirelv eliminated. The townspeople responded generously to the appeal of the club members and the fair was we'll patronized as is evidenced by the financial returns. The club will meet next Tuesday when final re- port will be presented and it is be- lfeved that the amount above men tioned will be figured as the profits.
 Although the CluD haS been peloTe the public several times in it's efforts to increase the library fund to suffi- cient size to permit of the develop ment of plans for the erection of a suitable library building, the resi- | dents, appreciating the uphill fight 1 which they faced, at no time have 1 grown weary of their appeals and | the women have had the cooperation Of tbe tOWnSDeODlG The c1nh mem bers have given up great deal of their time to the work and they are deserving of the support of the com munity.
