IS BUSTED 
Yes, busted! Not by the over- 
heated Breezes that blew like fury 
last Friday afternoon, but— 
Because someone set a match to 
the Powder, in the Powder House, on 
Powder House Hill, and blew it all 
to smithereens. It looks as though 
the fown wiil have to vote to retain 
the Cld Burying Ground lot, after all. 
(We may need it, to bury the dead 
politicians).

The Operie House was crowded 
last night—durned crowded—for the 
High School entertainment. Its a 
wonder someone doesn’t have plans 
prepared for a new Town hall. The se- 
lectmen saw fit to try to foist a monu- 
ment onto the town in the shape of 
a new road to Smith’s Point, at a cost 
of some $60,000, which scheme found 
favor in nobody’s eyes except the one 
that schemed it and had plans and 
drawings to the value of several hun- 
dred dollars prepared. Why not erect 
a more appropriate monument, at « 
much less cost, in the shape of a new 
n hall?

And speaking of monuments, have 
vou seen the little one erected on the 
stage of the Town hall the past year? 
It has four legs, and is generally 
designated by the word “piano.” And 
‘t cost only $600—for ONE, piano. 
A mere trifle! A

No papers have yet been taken out 
for any of the town offices. We un- 
derstand Geo. E. Hildreth is the only 
man in the field for the Water Board; 
that Albert Cunningham will run again 
for the School Committee, and that 
Frank G. Cheever will be a candidate 
for re-election as assessor for 3 years. 
The only men that are out and out 
candidates for the selectmen are the 
present members of the board—E. S. 
Knicht, Horace Standley and Frank 
CG. Cheever. New names mentioned 
are Nathan P. Meldrum and George 
R. Dean. These two men will run, in 
alt probability.
