rich made the motion that the money
be hired by the selectmen and il
was voted to hire the sum of $500.
An appropriation of $4,000 was
made by the last Legislature for the
repairing of the highway on each
side Of the line between Madison and
Skowhegan between here and Lake
wood, the plan being that Skowhe
gan should raise thousand dollars
and Madison similar amount to be
used with the $4,000 appropriated. The
citizens did not oppose this ana II
was voted to authorize the select
men to hire the sum of $1,000 Tor lllis
purpose.
Selectman Smith explained the
purpose Of the article relating to the
authorizing of the leases Of the
Opera house to dispose Of their lease
under terms and conditions accepta-
BILE to the town. He told of the Opera
house having been leased about two
years ago to M. st. Ledger and N.Y.
ron E. Smith and stated that he
stood ready to defend his position re-
garding the lease Of the Opera house.
He stated that the boys had given a
splendid lot OF pictures at less prices
than theaters were giving in other
towns. He referred to some Of the
troubles the st. Ledge and Smith Co.
had contended with, such as closing
because Of the epidemic and the lxel
amounting to almost $1,000 extra VIM
ter before last. He explained the
large chain companies and their OPP
portunities for getting better pic
lures than an individual concern
and stated that the time might come
when the boys would want to sell
out. He explained that an out-of-
town concern would not want to take
over the picture business unless a
certain number Of nights that the
hall would be wanted for other pur-
poses be specified. The average num-
Der Of nights that the hall has been
used other than for pictures during
the past several years has been SO.
and in Mr.. Smiths opinion the limit
set for other events than motion pic
ture be IS. the town to have the use
Of the hall whenever they saw fit.
The other condition in the contract
made for 10 years or five years with a
renewal clause be made a straight 10
year contract. The matter was dis
cussed somewhat and it was finally
moved by F.. F. Merrill that the town
authorize the lease to any peisv.. q.
persons, including corporations. ,wno
shall be approved by the selectmen
upon condition that the rent he in
creased at $1,000 per year. and upon
tine further condition that the num-
Der Of nights that the hall can be
taken from the leasee for other uss
han by the town for town purposes
be limited to IS nights in each and
every year and that the selectmen be
authorized to execute a writing as
senting to said assignment and to the
modification Of terms as aforesaid
This motion was seconded and voted
favorab1y upon. The present rental
is $4,000.
The town voted also to authorize
; the solectmen to take up all ..out-
standing permanent loans in the

three years. Selectman Smith made
a motion that $4,000 be raised as ex-
planned and Isaiah Crowell Of the
River road seconded the motion. The
result was practically unanimous in
favor Of raising the sum heretofore
mentioned.
The matter of macademizing East
Front street from South street to
Poplar street, was considered. Isiah
Crowell being the first to speak on
the same. He favored the improve
ment and, driving over the street
frequently, was in a position to know
the needs Of the same. The cost was
estimated at $500. Selectman Smith
suggested that since the road was
used so much by the American Wool
en- Co. for trucking purposes that
they might be willing to pay one
third Of the cost. f. +. Merrill
thought the highway belonged y, the
town and consequently the town
should repair the same. E. T. Good
