Number of Names Mjsspeued.
A great deal of criticism has been
directed by citizens against the COM
pany which erected the honor roll
board in front of the town hall, as
a large number of the names IN
scribed are misspelled.
The names were given to the work
men by Rev. Samuel A. Fiske and
were correct, it is alleged. In paint
ing them onto the board the men did
not copy them correctly. Parents OF
the boys in service have registered
complaints with the Home Council OF
Defense and it is said that the pay
ment for the completion of the
board will be held up until the mis-
takes are rectiied.
