 Town Official Objects.
 The new zone system is up for criticism by one of the town officials who anticipates accidents if one or two changes arc not made. Select man Griswold has made strenuous ob- pection to the entering of the trolleNs on the highway side, claiming that there is great risk of in jury to pas sengcrS getting on and off on that side. Hitherto, all passengers got on at the side of the street where there was little if any danger.

It was pointed out that this would slow up tho running time and tire out the motOrman.

The assessors are hard at work at the town hall getting their books into shape after the filing of the tax lists Very few neglected to get their lists in at the prescribed time.
