 nlr Of the celebration, and with that obJect Tn mind, it had an elaborate booklet printed. The cost of printing procuring cuts and binding was un- usually nigh, amounting to $1.25 for each program. The books were sold at a small profit, MT. GWillim told the ] voters. A resolution was then intro duced to provide an additional ap- preparation of $493.99, the amount of the deficit. Before the resolution was put to vote, the chairman called for ! reading of the report of William F.. ] CatfertN, chairman of the welcome committee. MT Cafferty'S report showed that only $79 was realized from the sale of the programs for the celebration which was far below the amount anticipated by the committee. Much amusement was caused by the 1 reading of an item of expense as fol- lows: '$2O to Frank Morganelli for damages to his garden caused when / the government airpane fell.' This allusion was to the accident in which i Captain J. H. Trumbul and an Army aviator fell to the ground in the Army l E. It was then voted to provide the ap- proprlation to cover the deficit
 The next business was the discus sion of repairs to East street. from Hart's corner to- the railroad crossing. Several voters at the meeting were opposed to the towns doing anything in the matter, as they were under the impression that the state would not give any financial aid until the grade crossing at that point is re- moved
 Cost of Street Repairs.
 Selectman Johnson said that the cost of minor improvements on East street would be approximately $2- 900. He was opposed to the improve ment. Edward P. Prior called the attention of the voters to the fact that the street is in a very bad condition, in fact, probably worse than any street in town, and said that as the street is becoming extensively used by autoists, something ought to be done to make it safe. He said that eventually, if the road is not repaired an ac ident will result and the town will be involved in a lawsuit. Mr. Prior believes that, looking at the matter from this viewpoint, the S2,- 0oO necessary for repairs, would be wisely invested.
 A. H. Condell moved that the sum of S2,O00 be appropriated to cover the cost of repairs to East street. Henry Trumbull said that petition to the Public Utilities Commi mission might re- suit in the placing of gates at the crossing. He said that when the sid ing was placed near that point some 10 cciN oTI, foI that the crossing was unsafe and that it would be wise to order the erec- tion of gates there.
 Frank T. Wheeler stated that East
 street was one of the roads marked by the state for improvement, all though there is no reason to believe
 that this means early improvem ent
 Want Crossing Protected. The opinion of the meeting seemed
 to be that it would be wise to provide the appropriation and to appeal to ; the Public Utilities commission to or der the placing of gates at the cross
 ing. The following resolution was in 1 trOduced: Resolved, That the Town of PlainVille provide an appropriation
 for the sum of S2,0OO for repairs to
 East street from Hart's corner to the railroad crossing and that the Pub lie Utilities commission be requested to order the railroad company to pla ce gates at the crossing. The resolution was passed.
