 or the town, if adopted. The town of riclals are authorized by this adoption to order, by their own made bylaws, any property owners to have sidewalks constructed as required, should the selectmen see fit to have such a movement done.
 The selectment will notify the own CTS that sidewalk must be laid and -nis will be done within 60 days of the notification. The town will pay 25 per cent of the expenses and the balance of 75 per cent must be paid by the property owners. The budget calls for 54O0 appropriation for sidewalk re- pairing and after that other walks, to be constructed, will have to wait until the next annual town meeting. Cleaning sidewalks in the winter will also come under this cha pter. All persons are liable to a fine of $5 tor not keeping the sidewalks in good shape. The town will see that it is | taken care of and the bill will be charged to the property owners. The l cleaning of the walks must be done
 within "A hours after the storm. This | chapter was voted upon and will go 1 into effect.
 l Town Plans Commission | A new Town Plans Commission was | appointed with the six following men on it: Frank T. Wheeler, Roswell G. l Hart, James A. Eaton, Edmon D.. Gridly, James Simpson and Joseph 1 Mccarthy. These men will take, over
 the work of the former Town Plans
 commission composed of but three
 members, namely: Carles H. New 1 ton, Fred L. Benzon and Acquilla H. l on ic m 1o nnt a with this commission and any persons 1 acting on it, cannot hold salaried office of the town. Edwin H. Hills was | .iamed for the office but was over
 ruled inasmuch as he held the office 1 of assistant school visitor. Harry A. l Castle declined the office also. It was | voted that $25O be appropriated to 1 the commission to carry on it's work. 1 Postmaster Prior opposed the new l commission as he felt that it would l be an opening for the majority to get lhold of the commission and operate things as they wish. This was crushed l however when the statute laws read l that vacancies on the board will be filled by a vote of the other members
 of the commission and thus eliminate l the feeling that the commission was
 a party plan. 1 The first two men named will hold
 office for one year, the second two for two years and the last three mention l ed for three years. They will com
 mence work where the former com- mission left off and probably the first job they will undertake will be tha: of building a roadway to the PlainViile Casting company. | Other Business Transacted
 | SSa6 that the
 sum of $4o0 be appropriated to the Plainville branch of the Red Cross for the Visiting Nurses use.
 T It was also voted that the town ap- propriate $20O to the clerk of Select man w. J. Johnson for services re1I- Edered in recording the past meetings
 and other data. New Roadway Planned
 | Postmaster Prior mentioned the
 matter of having roadway made to the Plainville Casting Co. This com pany is a new concern situated here
 and has been growing rapidly. Moth
 ing has been done about making g
 highway from Washington street tc
 Whiting street although the old Towr
 Plans Commission started the projec
 but came to a halt when the railroad problem was confronted. The statute laws read that no highway can b. made to pass a railroad unless it + over or underneath same railway Postmaster Prior attacked the attitude , of the town on this question and fel l that the new manufacturers weer no treated with the same consideration a! other plants had been. The factory he:
 done much towards the welfare of ths town and needs the support of tht officials in regards to a new roadwa. for access to the plant, he argued
 The selectment were authorized to sc'
 that proper highway be built tt
 the shop before the winter sets in. Has Berry Bush.
 Minton A. Norton of 150 West Mail street, has the distinction of having
 a red raspberry bush now bearing Der ries. The bush is evidently a lat beare1 as there are many green one
 to be found yet and every day bring ripe ones.
