Town Meeting

There was more interest and ex-
element at the annual town meeting
in Pennington Monday, than for
years, and there was a larger turn
out, including many women. Sumner
L. Mills was moderator, and Newel
r. Knowlton, clerk, and A. l.. VOL
colt, treasurer, were reelected WIN
out opposition. The first contest was
for chairman of the board of select
men. and it was hot one. James e.
Kenney of West Pennington, chair
man of the board last year was de-
feated by Charles a. Gould. second
member of the board last year. or
the slightly over 400 votes cast Mr..
Gould received 282. Percy w. Gould,
third member of the board last year,
and C. A. Pinkham. were candidates
for second member of the board. and
Mr.. Pinkham was elected. Mr.. Gould
was then nominated for third menu
Der of the board and Robert E. Nc
Cleery was also nominated. but also
at once arose and resigned in favor
of Mr.. Gould, whose election was
practically unanimous. H. Wallace
Taylor was elected a member of the
school board to succeed himself,
without opposition. There were half
a dozen candidates for road COM
missioner, but it was finally voted to
leave this matter in the hands of the
selectmen. Appropriations were
made practically as recommended by
the selectmen and school board,
which were as follows: Town
charges $4,000; support of poor 3d.
500; roads and small bridges $4,000;
large bridges $4,000: state a.5 roads
$1,194; Memorial Day 500: collection
of taxes $500; abatement of taxes,
$500: street lighting $1,000; free pub
lie library, $1,000; care of the COM
mon, $3.50; interest on outstanding
Indebtedness and temporary loans,
$4,000; new sidewalks, $500; payment
on town debt, $4,000; mothers aid,
$500; repairs to sewers, $500: salary
of superintendent of schools, SLIGO;
common schools $4,000: high school,
S13,000i text books, $1,000; school
supplies, $1,000; repairs. insurance
and rent, $4,000; medical inspection
in the schools, 5000; industrial edu-
cation, $500; conveyance $4,000. The
greatest bone of contention was the
proposition to build a road from
Front street near the railroad station
to the road running to West Farm
ington, cutting off Abbot hill and
shortening the route to the store of
the Farmers Union. and the factory
of the Farm Products company, and
the distance between this village and
West Pennington. The farmers, or a
great many of them favored the road,
but it was strongly opposed by the
business men as impractical. because
of the close proximity to the river,
and going over territory that is flood
ed every spring and any time after
very heavy rain. There were long
and strong arguments on each side,
but when it came to yes and no
vote the proposition was turned down
by about 40 votes. Their failure to
obtain this road was big disap-
pointment to a great many of the
farmers

TUNNEL OR BRIDGE?

The matter of a vehicular way from
the city proper to East Boston now comes
squarely before the Legislature through
the presentation yesterday of a bill by
Henry |. Hartman, chairman of tie
metropolitan Plan: ing Division, for the
construction of such a way.
Again is The question of over or under
the waters Of the harbor left for the flu
ture to decide, the bill providing for eth
er of these methods Of connecting the
city with the island and thus eventually
on to the north shore. The bill provides
that either tunnel or bridge be construct
ed by a private corporation, especially
chartered for the business, its expendi-
lures to be in the vicinity Of SIS, 900, 600
Either bridge or tunnel would be en-
powered to levy tolls on traffic over or
through. That is to be expected if pri-
v2te capital builds the structure, or even
for a time if the municipality were to do
it. For the first 10yearS the rates would
be observation-disclosures of course, if
they were TOO high they would defeat
their W purpose. After that period
the charges would be fixed by the De.
partment of Public Utilities.
An excellent feature of the proposition
ID, IlISIi tudL DIT tuG 6ApIIdLlOu VI q uG"
cade the city would have the right to buy
the structure from its private ON ners and
after so years would come into possession
of it outright. Nothing could be fairer
than that. And no financial burden
would at any time be placed on the city.
1t begins TO look as if one or the other
of these great Improvements would be
built in the neal future. That being the
situation, the choice between tunnel or
bridge will shortly become vital. As we
have said before, we think the advantag-
es are with the tunnel. liz the quite i'm
portant matter of taking space in already
crowded Boston the tunnel would mani
testify be far less obtrusive. It's upkeep,
also, would be much less than that O: a
bridge, which would be of some impor-
lance after the city came into possession.
And a double tube might we'll be built,
one bore for vehicular traffic. the other
for the Beach & Lynn Railroad.
At any rate. careful study of the two
kinds of connection is necessary. and we
have no doubt that it will be given
