 Want Pole Removed In talking with a prominent citizen of Kensington this morning Her aid" reporter found that several men of that district are in favor of re- moving the fiagpole from in front of the old Kilby house.
 That flagpole was erected by popu- lar subscription, becoming the proper ty of the town. Now that the old building in front of which the staff stands is to become a private dwelling. several think it time to find some new place for the pole. One place sug- to the.town which is located in the back of the library in Kensington. It was pointed out that this plot of ground is high and visible from near ly all points in the town, as well as from the railroad tracks.

The grass is long and the spot has not been taken care of for years It Is the desire of the men interested to have the pole placed in the center of an attractive plot of land, making a small park which will be taken care of regularly. Flower beds and closely cropped grass will add much to the nttractiveness of the surroundings. st,
 The pole, as it now stands, has not had a coat of paint in many years. It is of steel and was contributed by the Berlin Construction Go. It was originally planned to make a small park out of the square in Kensington where the pole now stands The idea spot is an eyesore. both to residents of kensington and to passersby on the train.
