 Tractor Used.
 Selectman Johnson had the tractor at work on Broad street today, at tached to the scraper and the road was given the usual spring over hauling. The tractor is the property of c. H. Norton and eliminates the old time slow operation of the horse which had formerly been attached to the scraper. The town hires the tractor. It was used to good effect last year.
 The town officials were contemplat- ing purchasing one last season and and looked some of them over. It is not probable however that one will be bought providing the one of MT. Norton's can be hired.

Tani Block Completed The addition to the front of tre Tani block on Whiting stret, a source of much discussion during the past several weeks has been completed John LeGrandi, local contractor, fin. ished the work The! front has a decided business-lik appearance compared to the former old front, | which had a low veranda extending along the street. The stores inside tho building have had the fronts extended about seven feet towards the sidewalk and better display space is the result. Larger quarters for stock inside is also provided. The addition had been the bone of contention between of- ficials of the town and the citizens, as many were of the opinion that 1t shouldn't have been permitted beI cause it extended further out than the F adjoining building. A survey of the street has been made by Joseph N. McKernan of the Water company and the proper street line located. Now a petition is prepared and cir culated, to the effect that a building line must be established from, the Neri block to Broad street. Whether or not this new line will affect the new adH1 TT, the Tani block remains to V meeting will be called soon
