Other Matters.
Glover, Dec. 4-Clover people, bus
mess men especially, are not at all
pleased with the ruling Of tho regional
coal committee limiting business hours,
and they do not hesitate to make
known their displeasure. OF course
they are observing the ruling, all OF
them are; but they are not doing so
in exactly the same spirit that they
did while the war was in progress.
That was a different matter, alto
gether, they say, and they can see no
necessity for observance of such a
rule in this town and section, because
in the first place everybody has plenty
of coal and other fuel or can easily get
it, and then again because they can
not see any fuel saving will be effected
by such a rule. at is going to play
havoc with my holiday trade as mat
ters stand now" said one Glover mer-
chant yesterday, "and l have In stock
the largest amount of holiday goods
that I have ever carried. Unless 1t
be that 1 can persuade people to buy
between Q o'clock and o'clock, stand
TO lose several thousand dollars.
Discussing the drastic measure which
has been taken in Glover, another mer-
chant said: II would have some sym
pathy with the proposition had the
committee seen fit to make one day,
say Monday, a heatless day; but this
opening at and closing at 4, is useless
absurd and silly" Some of the mer-
chants and some other people are not
saving much although they are think
ing a lot. Still everybody Is obeying
the law.
Tax Collections Good.
Town tax collections for the year
1919 I'D to date have been good and
compare favorably with the averages
for former years, according to DIR. j.
T.. Brison, town treasurer. Up to date
more than $1,000 has been collected
and this is a little more than had been
collected. up to this time last year.
Time for the payment of taxes without
penalty expires on December l5n The
kassessed property valuation sof the
town, according dir T tS Treas asdrer Brlson, rs
about $S5OOOO.
New Church Almost a Certainty.
That construction work will be COM
mcnced on a new Presbyterian church
buiIding for Glover some time next
year is now accepted as settled. IL
was mentioned in this correspondence
several weeks ago that solicitors had
becn appointed in the congregation 10
make a canvass of members with a
view to raising $4,000 to be used IN
the construction of a new buiidlhs'
the need for which has been sorely leit
for some time. These solicitors nave
been busy recently and at conGrega-
tional meeting last Sunday 1t was an
nounced that approximately $2I,OOo OIL
the amount had been pledged, with the
canvass yet far from complete. NO
Architectural plans for the new church
have been agreed upon as yet tufther
| than that it will be a building most
modern in every detail and will very
