ers did not approve either plan they 
recommended that they be tabled. 
They renewed “their request for 
$3,000 for improvements to Masco- 
nomo Park as asked in the warrant. 
Of this sum they proposed to expend 
$500 on the Beach st. land and the 
balance on Masconomo Park. ‘The 
commissioners reported that they had 
an opinion from Judge Edgar 5S. 
Taft which said that they had a right 
to charge non-residents for the use 
of the public bath-houses at Singing 
Beach. They reported that they had

landing and the right of way to the 
land now owned by the town on

jamin L. Allen had written a letter 
offering to sell the landing and right 
of way for $500. ‘The finance com- 
mittee recommended that no money 
be spent on this new park property 
until all legal incumbrances, 1f any, 
had been removed. 
The recommendation of the finance 
committee that $2500 be appropriate-l 
for improvements to Masconomo 
Park was unanimously adopted. Ray- 
mond C. Allen read a legal opinion, 
regarding the charging of non-resi- 
dents of the town and Commonwealth 
for the use of the ‘Town bath-houses, 
which held that no charge could be 
legally made, unless all were charged 
alike. 
It was voted that any overdraft in 
the appropriation for plans in con- 
nection with improving the new lot :t 
Beach st. crossing be taken from the 
$2500 appropriated for improvements 
to Masconomo Park. It was also 
voted that the commissioners be auth- 
orized to have a search made of the 
title to the land and right of way of- 
fered by Captain Allen and take the 
expense from the $2500 appropriated. 
Selectman Edward S. Knight ex- 
plained the basis under which the 
contract for the new highway work 
had been let and said that the cost, 
based on the estimates of the state 
highway engineers made last fall, 
would exceed the appropriation, at 
‘the present cost of materials by about 
$2500. He said that about $1000 of 
this additional cost had already beea 
eliminated and that it was hoped that 
it would be possible to keep within 
the appropriation by cutting down on 
the estimates, but that later it might 
be necessary to ask for a slight addi- 
tional appropriation. In the matter 
of maintenance of highways Mr 
Knight said that an additional $5,000 
had been asked at the March Town 
meeting, but owing to the increased 
cost of removing snow this year the

What is in paint is as important as how paint is 
put on. 
The best painter in the land cannot make 
worthless mixtures of crushed 
rock and ground earths stay 
put. Imitation paint lacks the 
clinching qualities and elas- 
ticity that paint made of

most durable, beautiful and econom- 
ical, whether used on interior or

additional sum had already disappear- 
ed. Another unexpected factor that 
had occurred was the failure of the 
boiler at the crushing plant, which 
may be condemned. ‘These additional 
expenses eat into the appropriation 
heavily and do not leave the expected 
amount for new improvements. 
Mr. Knight moved the amount of 
the tax budget to be raised as $215,- 
000, which is $20,000 in excess of 
last year. It was voted to raise that 
amount. Appropriations of $267,260 
had been made thus far, and the state 
and county tax will bring the amount 
up to $341,872 at least. 
On motion of Oliver T. Roberts it 
was voted that it be the sense of the 
meeting that the Board of Health 
consider as soon as possible the mat- 
ter of a public dump. On motion of 
Edwin P. Stanley the meeting was 
dissolved.

SHUBERT THEARTE, BOSTON. 
Of more than usual interest to lov- 
ers of mammoth musical extravaganza 
is the engagement at the Shubert 
Theatre, Boston, of “A World of 
Pleasure,” the very latest New York 
Winter Garden triumph to go on tour. 
The third big week begins next Mon- 
day evening, April 24. There is a 
veritable army of your favorite musi- 
cal comedy artists including such well 
known stars as Clifton Crawford, the 
eminent English comedian; Conroy 
and Le Marie, the incomparable min- 
strel comedians; Collins and Hart, the 
excrutiatingly funny comedians who 
make people roar with laughter while 
they perform mid-air; McMahon, 
Diamond and Chaplow, a trio of art- 
ists noted for their great versatility 
in singing, dancing and talking; Helen 
Goff, the charming prima donna; 
Vanita Fitzhugh, with a winsome 
style all her own; Franklin Batie, the 
handsome singing and dancing ju- 
venile: Margaret Edwards, the sensa- 
tionally famous dancer, Herman Tini- 
berg and Hattie Darling; and the 
truly famous Rosie Quinn. - 
An argument generally takes a 
curious form. It always has two sides, 
but only one end.
