for about $5000, according to Mr Gwillim. It is then estimated that
 the cost of equipment and material would amount to 1000.
 In speaking about relief to those who have no bread earners in the family, MT. Gwillim stated that it
 was difficult to guess the cost that would result from relief work in this way. He stated that there are many families in need of immediate relief
 who normally would not be on the towns poor list but who were in
 destitute condition because of the present poor conditions. A sum of $2000 may be required to take care
 of this class of people. Mir. Gwillm
 remarked. No money will be given
 to these people but orders would be
 issued by the seectmen upon ap- ] proval of the chamber bureau which I would make q thorough investig1-
 ton in each case brought to it's at tention.
 Mir. Gwillim stated that $4500 has | been set aside in this years budget | for the town poor and so far the selectmen have spent s3360 although | $500 would be refunded to Plain vile from other towns for people who have not been residents here 1 four years but who have been given aid The balance must carry on to | the 18th of next August. As d re- suit or the conditions explained
 above, Mir. Gwillim stated that the board of finance and the chamber bureau believed that q fund should 1 he established 10 afford relief to the
 unemployed Of Plainville.
 Following his talk. the resolution for an appropriation not 10 exceed sS0OO was adopted and the select men were appointed as q committee
 to see that the money was properly spent.
 The resolution calling for an ap- propration of $500 for stone for highway came in for considerable discussion because of certain legal phases, It was finally adopted with the agreement that the principal be placed in next years budget and the interest charges in the present bud get. It was explained that Leland Hart, whose trucks haul the stone from the White Oak quarries em- ploys all local help while the quar- ries in White Oak give employment to l3 Plainville men. Both Mir. Le- Ia nd and he to keep their men working during the winter months and, as d result, | had made offers to the town that
 would mean a great saving Of money.
 It was stated that the saving for hauling and purchasing stones over normal prices would total about s1.- 500 or 45 per cent. This great op- portunity 10 secure much need d
 stone at a great saving met with the satisfaction of the voters es- pccially because the stone will be used in connection with the uncm-
 ploynent program for the winter. William Stewart William Stewart, A died at the
