The local Chamber OF Commerce
al its regular meeting last evening.
voted 10 lay the housing question on
the table until such time as the
officials of the Standard Steel and
Bearings Co. would have their plans
ready for execution. No action was
taken on the recommendation of the
housing committee presented AT the
last meeting held on December 81.
and the committee was discharged
last night with u vote OF thanks.
A letter was read by Secretary CAT
ferty from A. II. Rockwell stating
that the reason that no one from the
factory was present AT the special
meeting was because the plans which
the officials of the factory were for
mulating were not complete. II stat
ed that there were some items In the
plans which needed deep considera-
tion and mntioned sewage. gas and
school facilities. II stated that they
hoped TO have some definite plans
ready early In January. Mr.. caf-
ferty's reply to Mr.. Rockwell was
then read and II stated that the mat
ter was TO come up for discussion at
last nights meeting.
II is supposed that the plans are
still unfinished, and as again last
night there was no one present from
the factory, the matter was tabled
indefinitely.
The question of the collection OF
garbage and the condition of the gut
tiers and crosswalks In the town since
the recent snow storm were discussed,
and the matters were referred to the
public utilities committee of the
chamber for action.
Five new names were added to the |
list of members at last nights session, |
their applications being favorably
voted on.
