 1 Special Town Meeting. ! A sYe&al town meeting is to be ! held in Grange hall at s o'clock to- morrow evening for the purpose of | deciding about the disposal of a quan-
 tty of ice which was purchased some l weeks ago to assure the townspeople | of a supply of the commodity for the | summer.
 During the winter tho ice crop l here was q failure, speaking in the terms of necessity for summer con- | sumption. The Plainville Business 1 and Improvement association took up
 the situation and appointed a com
 mittec to look into the matter. The
 committee decided upon purchasing l and therefore several carloads of ice 1 were shipped to this town The ice 1 was unlOaded and stored in the Hart 1 icehouscs where it remains until to- l morrow nights meeting decides it's | disposal.
 At the meeting it is probable the town will be ordered to pay for the l ice and sell it on bid to the highest l bidder who will agree to distribute l it in this town only.
 1 It is probable also that the matter 1 of waste material in the streets will 1 be discussed by the voters at the | special meeting. For some time the
 waste has been thrown in the Main | streets without regard for health or | looks. As a community, the people l of the town will not stand for it and 1 many have been the complaints re- CeiVed by the selectmen. It is known 1 that a bylaw is proposed which will ! allow of prosecution and jail sen- l tence if necessary in order that the nuisance be stopped.
