tempted to operate a large die OF
about seven tons pressure and used
for cutting of inner soles. Not be
ing familiar with the machine he

paper which had gathered in the
stove. The first she noticed was that
a coat which hung near the stove
was ablaze. At the time of the fire
she and her son, Adolph, who it will

Friday, were the occupants of the
house The alarm was rung in by

SPECIAL TOWN MEETING
NEXT TUESDAY
Sprinkling of Streets to he COnsid,
cred

Owing to the unsatisfactory manner
in which our streets are being sprink-
led it has seemed best to cancel the
contract for this work and to call a
Town Meeting whereby the voters may
take such action as they may desire.
Your Municipal Officers have been
patient with the present contractor to
a degree where virtue could no long
er exist. To assess the taxpayers
for inferior services higher sprink-
ling tax without at least placing the
matter before the voters would make
your officials unworthy of confidence.
Next Wednesday at 200 o'clock it is
hoped all voters residing in com
munities needing protection against
dust will be present. Each street
will be considered separately for de-
termning whether oil or water is de-
sired.
The voter not interested enough to
attend this meeting has no right to
complain if he is obliged to eat his
allotted peck of dirt during the next
few months.
