Saves Town Considerable
Although few have noticed it,
Burgess Leo Brophy, chairman of
the street committee, and his COM
mittee has saved the town from
three to four thousand dollars be-
cause of the recent agreement con-
corning Cherry street sidewalks.
It will be recalled that when
Grove street walks, curbs and gut
tiers were recently done, the agree
ment was that the residents agree
to pay for the walks and the town
would pay for curbs and cutters.
However, Mr.. Brophy who
handled the Cherry street negotia-
lions realized that If this continued
the town would have quite bill
on its hands. So he suggested the
WPA- pay for labor which was TAX
ing one of the main expenses off
the owners of property there, and
the owners agreed to pay for ma
terials for the walks, curbs and
cutters.
This would have cost the town
which means all taxpayers several
thousands If it had to pay ford
curbs and cutters as was done on
Grove street. And If other streets
wish their walks done, the same
arrangements as were agreed on
on Cherry street will undoubtedly
be in effect, that is the town will
not have to bear the burden.
Those who realized this have
congratulated Burgess Brophy and
his acumen in this matter.
The burgess today again denied
being a member of a clique which
