The policemen appointed: chief — 
S. S. Peabody (Mrs. Reed), patrolmen 
— J. W. Lee (Mrs. Preston), and Jos. 
Leary) Miss J. White). These later 
quelled a disturbance at the close of 
the meeting. 
After a few preliminary remarks by 
the moderator the business of the 
meeting was started, and business was 
transacted at a rapid pace. 
The first article was to appropriate 
$300 to enforce the No-license law. 
The vote on license was 64 against, 
1 in favor. 
Mr. Rust (Mrs. Reed) took the 
floor, as usual. ‘‘As we have a unan- 
imous vote for No-license,”’ she said, 
only” Ones volingw <Y cs! ua le donst 
believe there is anyone in town that 
would have any use for liquor.”

station, to be fire and burglary proof, 
so that no one can break in and when

E. P. Stanley (Mrs. Smith) thought 
it was a disgrace to have such a cheese 
box as the present station. We want 
a suitable place where the officers can 
stay at night and be comfortable. 
Make it so pleasant for them they 
won't have to go out of doors; then 
they would be safe and away from 
bad company.

Art. 6. ‘To raise $13,000 to pur- 
chase four new steam rollers. 
It was hoped these would be rubber 
tired. .The rollers; it was: found, 
would cost $3,000 each. This raised

for. ‘For postage and the car fares 
of the superintendent when he goes to 
Boston to make the purchase,” was 
the reply.

was decided that if it would keep the 
night force awake the request be 
granted. 
Art.:9:- lomsee=ii thestown will

harm’s way. 
Art. 10. Moved to appropriate 
$500 for establishing a_ life-saving

by Mr. Meldrum (Miss Smith) that

because Burnham wouldn’t give Kim- 
ball all the cider he wanted. So they
