Matters Discussed
At Town Meeting

A special town meeting was helu
in Skowhegan Saturday afternoon at
which attorney Amos X. Butler act
ed as moderator. There was a large
attendance and much interest shown.
The first article to be considered was
that concerning the town obtaining a
dumping ground. Hon. Clyde III.
Smith, first selectman, was called
upon to present the available places
for use by the town as dumping
ground and the expense estimated for
each. The first was on land owned
by Charles Steward, back of the AL
bert Smith place on North avenue,
about two miles from the City build
ing and where there is ample room
for a dumping room for many years
to come. This place, including care
of the roadside from the main road
to the dump will cost $500 per year
and the officers agreed to prosecute
any offender of the dump regulations.
The second place was land owned
by Charles Whittemore, two miles
from Skowhegan village, price $225
per year and town to care for the
roadside. The third place was land
owned by Joseph Butler on the Ca
naan road, two and half miles from
Skowhegan village near the highway
This place was opposed by l.. L.
Sandford, as being on the State road
direct from Bangor and eastern
points. Rev. George l.. Thurlow sug-
gested that rubbish be taken to the
dump more frequently by town Off
cials. On motion of attorney E. c.
Butler, the town voted to instruct the
town officials to lease or purchase
the Steward ground for a dumping
place at the price and on the condi-
tions presented by Mr.. Smith.
The question Of Sunday 'closins
was discussed at much length. AL
though when the article was first
presented, George Dow moved that
the article be passed over and when
requested to make known his reason
he stated that it would only stir UP
the question and nothing would be
gained. The speakers on this ques-
ton were Mr.. Dow. a harness dealer
Foster Tabbs, confectionery stores
Herbert Smitz, Rev. H. L. Nichols
pastor of the Methodist church, Hon
Clyde H, Smith and Rev. George
Thurlow. 1t was finally voted that
the selectmen should have jurisdic-
ton over Sunday opening and regu-
lated to their best judgment. 1t was
voted to build sewer on West street
from Gem to Coxette street, and
5000 was raised for the same.
1t was voted that no more gasoline
tanks be installed on the island, or
Water street as far east as the Cath
olic church, on Madison avenue as
far north as Leavitt street, on Rus
sell street and Court street Clyde
HI. Smith stated that there are now
So gas stations in town and that in
the Office of the selectmen there are
six more.
The question of establishing a bur-
eau Of information on the State road
from Waterville to Norridgewock al
its junction with main street was
discussed and it was moved that this
was the intent of the meeting that II
contributions were made to the es-
tablishment and maintenance of such
fa bureau, that the selectmen be i'm
powered to spend a reasonable sum
, toward the project.
