A special town meeting has been called by the board of selectmen to be held in the town hall on Mon- day. March 5. at o'clock. A num- Der of propositions will come up fol consideration.
 The most important question that will be discussed is the proposal that the town purchase the triangu' lar strip of land situated south of the Percival school from Miss Alice M. Chapman for $1Ss. A special meeting was held last week by the finance board. on the recomnlenda- lion of the school committee. to consider the purchase of this land Professor Stanley L.

The land in question measures 56 feet on one side and 46 feet on the other. The third side is four feet long. The town owns the land next to the school and this small strip Of land separates its land from the school property.

 Basketball Game Postponed
 The basketball game scheduled for ipc ir, tho J19 ri ford county "" league between the Kensington Boys club and the Lions of New Britain has been called off by agreement between the two man agers. This game was the last game scheduled in the league for the local team. The club ended the league with a record of no wins and eleven losses. The Lions have all ready clinched the championship of the league and meet the winners of the other half of the county league this week for the championship. For this reason the locals agreed to call off the game.
 Considering the fact that the Boys club team has no floor of it's own and is forced to get what little prac- tice they can on New Britain courts, they put up . good fight in the league. They forced the Lions to the limit in their last meeting and gave them the hardest fight of any team in the league. The local team holds the championship of the town by virtue of its two. victories over the East Berlin five. It is probable that the local team will close its season without playing any more games.
