SPECIAL TOWN MEETING. 
(Continued from Page 1, 3d col.) 
Edward A. Lane presented the 
report of the building committee, in 
which he said that the preliminary 
plans as prepared by Andrews, Jacques 
and Rantoul had been completed and 
placed in the hands of the local con- 
tractors for estimates, and that the 
lowest bid (Roberts & Hoare) ex- 
ceeded the appropriation by $3,339. 
In view of the fact that the estimates 
were very close, the committee did 
not think it best to depart from their 
original plans, and it was the unani- 
mous decision of the committee that 
the work be done as planned, and the 
committee therefore recommended 
that $3,500 be appropriated in addi- 
tion to the $30,000 already appropri- 
ated to carry out the work. 
On motion of E. S. Knight the 
report of the building committee was 
accepted and the recommendations 
adopted. 
Mr. Knight moved that $3,500 be 
appropriated in addition to the $30,- 
000 already voted for construction of 
new building. For, 87; against, 6. 
$500 was appropriated for finishing 
a large room on the second story of 
the new building, on motion of E. S. 
Knight. For, 64; against, 11. 
The treasurer was authorized, on 
motion of Mr. Knight, to borrow, from 
time to time, $4,000 in addition to the 
$30,000 already voted upon, giving 
notes of town therefor, made payable 
in one year. 
$300 was appropriated for furnish- 
ing new building, on motion of E. A. 
Lane. 
Art. 5—To see if the town will 
appoint a committee of three to revise 
the rental rates of Town hall. 
C. C. Dodge—“I would like to 
know what the reason is for this.”’ 
F. K. Swett — “In 1894 a commit- 
tee of eight was appointed to make 
rates of rentalof the hall. Since then 
there has been added expenses, elec- 
tric lights, different seats, etc.” 
The moderator appointed F. K. 
Swett, H. T. Bingham and C. L. 
Crafts. The first two refused to serve 
and T. W. Long and Geo. A. Kitfield 
were appointed. 
Art. 6 — Relative to granting a per- 
mit to run a drain pipe from the prop- 
erty of Lewis Killam, Wm. Fleming 
and others on Desmond avenue, across 
Brook street, over corner of land 
owned by Lewis Morgan to Saw mill 
brook. 
Samuel Knight said he thought this 
matter could well be referred to the 
board of health. There was a time, 
he said, when there was plenty of 
water in Saw mill brook, but since the 
pumping station plant was put in, thus 
taking water from the springs which 
supplied the brook, a very different 
condition of affairs existed. 
Mr. Knight moved that the subject 
matter be referred to the board of 
health. 
Lewis Killam thought the petition- 
ers should have the same privileges as 
other people. On Vine street, for in- 
stance, the sewerage from the houses 
flows into the brook in some cases. 
The object of the petition, he said, 
was more to get rid of the surface 
water than cesspool. 
Austin Morley thought the matter 
of drainage from Desmond avenue 
should be referred to somebody — it 
had gone on long enough. 
C. C. Dodge thought the time was 
soon coming when we must take up 
the sewerage question. He was of 
the opinion that a few more emptying 
into the brook wouldn’t hurt it. 
The matter was referred to the 
board of health. 
Art. 7— Relative to any other busi- 
ness, was almost passed over, when 
Chairman Swett stated the article had 
been inserted so that the Fourth of 
July committee might ask for more 
money to pay their bills. 
C. O. Howe stated for the commit- 
tee that the appropriation had been 
overrun $45.40, and moved that that 
amount be appropriated to pay the 
bills. 
C. C. Dodge — “I would like to ask 
what is the law pertaining to money 
for Fourth of July. Isn’t it a certain 
percentage of taxes, or certain amount 
per poll? I have an idea we can ap- 
propriate so much and no more— the 
same as with shade trees.”’ 
Mr. Howe stated that the commit- 
tee worked on the same lines as_for- 
merly, but that instead of the boys 
getting to work and building the bon- 
fire, the committee had to hire it 
done. 
Samuel Knight —‘‘It seems to me 
we ought to have a full explanation of 
this appropriation. We gave them the 
usual amount, and they gave us the 
meanest kind of a show we ever had.”’ 
(And the uproarious applause which 
followed seemed to indicate that those 
present agreed with Mr. Knight.) “If 
you appropriate for yourselves and 
used the money for your own pur- 
poses, then I object, and I want to 
enter protest here now.”’ 
The motion was put and lost -—39 
to 37——-against appropriating more 
money. 
E. P. Stanley — “I would like to 
know how the bills are going to be 
paid. The parties are not to blame 
because they overrun their appropria- 
tion.” 
Orrin A. Martin — “‘ You appointed 
a committee to carry out a work, and 
you gave them money to do this work. 
They have exceeded their appropria- 
tion, and I think it is up to the com- 
mittee to make their loss good ” 
Geo. S. Sinnicks —-‘* I have served 
the town six or seven years on this 
committee, and we have always turned 
back $40 or $50, but we never hada 
word of commendation. If the town 
feels the committee ought to pay the 
bill, I am willing to pay it out of my 
own pocket.”’ 
P. H. Boyle thought it was foolish 
play and didn’t look well, and Mr. 
Stanley moved for reconsideration. 
The motion was carried without a 
dissenting vote, and the money was 
appropriated unanimously. 
Meeting was dissolved at 9.30.
