It was after this refusal that Commissioner Butler asked tlIe town council for office space in the building, stating that any, arrangement that could
 be made so that the highway business could be properly conducted would satisfy the commission. When it was suggested
 that the commission be. given office room in the treasurer's. office MT. Butler ac- quainted the council of the position of MT. Pendleton. That did not prevent the pas sage of the vote assigning a part of that office room to the highway commission. Treasurer Pendleton still insists that there is none too, much room for the de- partment, he represents in the town hall office and that during the ta1 collection [ period the room is not adequate for the service MT. Pendleton desires to state, 1 the case to the town council, and in the | meantime the highway commission has not assumed an aggressive position It l is quite probable that when the town i council meets again the vote of the for mer meeting will be reScinded and other office accommodation provided for the highway commission. If 1t Is decided that there is no room for office in the town I hall, the commission will seek an office | elsewhere, and the town will pay the rent | The silent traffic signal, with the fa- ] rriiiar words "Go to the Right" located ! in Dixon square, has, been made even mn fffnian fIAarN l been Surmounted with a guideboard with arrow bearing the word Boston" and pointing in that direction, and with sign i board underneath with the information: 1 Boston Straight Ahead" On the other | side of the arrow and signboard the word l New York is substituted for Boston. The wonder is this information of so much value to automobilists has been so long ] delayed.
