 Selectmen Lalley and Person were
 morning and again today with a large
 force Of men, all of whom would
 probably otherwise have been unem-
 ployed, and by nightfa1 Monday a
 very appreciable dent had been made

 shortly after daylight today work
 was in force on crosswalks and

 milk wagons and mail routes were

 living in these outlying sections are
 grateful for whatever help can be
 given them in times like the pres
 ent.
