MAS7|N OFFER TO
 BE DECIDED UPON Special Town Meeting to Vote on
 State Aid Appropriation CHURCH ANNUAL MEETING
Dr. Cook Receives Complaint of Tu- bercular Cats Special High School Assembly for Constitution Weck-Other Items of Interest.

The voters of plainville will gather tomorrow night in the Town hall in special town meeting called for two purposes. The first is to vote on the bequest of the late George Mas ! tin Of his residence on East Main street to the town for a public li- brary site and the other is to vote on the state aid appropriation for 1 town road work.
 The bsquest made by Mir. Mastin l carried the condition that the town 1 accept the gift within six weeks after the will was filed for probate. 1 movement to have public library
 here, stipulated that the gift would
 be free Of all conditions except that
 one relating to time.
 The matter of the state aid ap-
 propriation is left to the voters of | the town There is a sum of money
 available in the office Of the state
 highway commissioner for the mak-
 ing of roads in the town and the 1 question Of whether it will D" ac-
 cepted at the meeting tomorrow night rests with tho voters of the
 town at the meeting tomorrow nigh. Because Of the fact that many Of the voters were of the opinion that
 there was q movement on foot to block the acceptance by the town Of the gift of Mir. Mastin. the Town
 hall will be filled to capacity, it is
 thought. First SeleCtman John J. l kimmel was the party accused of
 trying to delay the town meeting until after the time limit had eX-
 pired.
 Mir Kimmol has denied any such call for a town meeting was not is sued was because the matter of | state aid roads was not clearly un- l derstood. Mir. Kimmel further stat ed that the accusation was a fool | ish one because of the fact that as an interested citizen. he was glad Of the public spirit which prompted ! Mir Mastin to make the offer. 1 Just what the state aid affair is. | is not clear in the minds of many of 1 the voters. As it is understood 1 Plainville has the opportunity of se- | curing an amount of money for the 1 institution of state aid roads in the town It is. it is said. a voluntary matter in the minds of the voters whether they accept or reject the matter.
 Ancnt Fire Pump
 Many interested citizens were of the opinion that call to vote on a fire pump could be incorporated in the call for the town meeting tOmor- row night, but as matters stand, another special session will have to be convened to appropriate money enough to purchase pump. a real necessity.
 At the present time, the hook and ladder combination chemical truck is sorely in need of repairs and un- less quick action is taken, Plain- vile will be in a sad way to fight fires. It always happens that disas- trous blazes come just when the fire fighting apparatus is out of com mission and although the hook and ladder truck is in running condition there is liable to be a breakdown at any time, it is understood. Sober minded citizens have taken the mat ter under serious consideration and it wouldn't be surprising if the next civic movement wasn't the pur- chase of a bumper.
 VI. F. Annual Meeting
