designated period. the cost of oper- ating the snowplows, oil spreaders. etc, which 1t is proposed to buy, will be borne approximately by each town according to the length of time such equipment was in use in each town.
 Newington now has a snowplow of it's own and for the past several years has been able to keep the highways cleared of snow to the sat- isfaction of most drivers. First Se- lectman James c. Gilbert thinks that the only time the town would really be in need of a blow would be when there was an unusually large snowfall. The town has all ways hired trucks to be used in con- nection with road building and the plan would not benefit Newington great deal in that case.
 Selectman Gilbert thinks. how ever. that the plan may develop into something which will be very bene- fcial to the small towns in the state. Commissioner Mcdonald made 1t clear that the plan is only tentative and amounts to merely proposal. The matter is under consideration by Selectmen Gilbert, Churchill and Fish. No decision has been arrived at and no action will be taken on the matted for some time.

Is Parent Liable for Necessities
Sold to Child?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Fred. the minor son of Jacob Har
vey, went to the New Clothing Co.
and said his father had given him
permission to buy suit OF clothes
and to charge the item to his father S
account.
The truth was that Fred's father
had not given him the authority. AS
a matter of fact. Fred, although living
at home with his parents, was earn
ing his own livelihood and had been
buying his own clothes for some time.
He was short of ready cash, however,
and his intention was to pay for the
charged apparel shortly. before his
father received his regular monthly
statement from the company.
The clothing salesman knew Fred
and without questioning his authority
gave him the suit and charged it to
Mr.. Harvey's account.
But Fred did not adhere to his in.
tention to pay and the charged item
came to his fathers attention. When
the latter refused to settle the ac-
count suit was brought against him
for the amount involved.
But the creditors suit against Mr..
Harvey was dismissed In accord with
the following established rule:
while d father Is under the natu-
raj obligation to furnish his child with
necessary and suitable wearing APP
parel II he is able to do so, any one
who sells necessities to children In.
tending to hold the parent liable there
for does so at the risk Of being able
to show that such purchase has been

purchase, es6ecialIy where O parent
