TBS SPECIAL TOWS MEETIHO SETS DOWN 1IARD ON THE STONE CRUSH EB PROJECT. The special town meeting on VVednes day afternoon, called to consider the ad' visibility of buying a stone crushing plant, was even more largely attended than the meeting lust a week previous. At 4.20 the meeting was called to order by Town Clerk Houlihan, who read the warning. A soon as be bad finished peaking a dozen voices named M. J Bradley for chairman, and he was chos en. W. J. Brew Introduced a resolution favoring the purchase of the stone crush, ing plant, which was at once seconded. George W. Bradley took the floor at once to oppose the measure. He thought the Almighty had provided enough crushed rock and small stones In .Newtown, with out going to the expense of buying a ma chine to break them up. Mr Bradley re. ferred to the piece of road K. 8. Hinman bad built, which extended nearly to the Seymour line. It was built of gravel and small stones, and is a nrst class road. He couldn't see why the town should go to tbis great expense. T. J. Corbett, the next speaker, said he was not a road maker. But It appeared to him that the gentlemen who opposed tbls measure had motives other than the good of the town. lie thought Mr Brad ley's proposition to Improve the roads with cobblestone was not to be consider ed seriously, as there were about 400 mile of road In the town. Did they want to wait for another administration before buying a stone crusher? Better start now, buy a crusher, and begin the work of permanent road building. U. W. Bradley said in regard to wait ing for a new administration, that he was willing to give the present administration due credit. He said they had never call ed on Mr Glover for work in Gray's l'laln, but what he had been ready to do bis best. Town Clerk Houlihan read an article from a paper favoring permanent roads. Some one made a motion to adjourn, but Lawyer Beecher took the floor. He deprecated the motion to adjourn. Let u, said he, stay here and dispose of this question once for all. Let us settle it fairly. He thought they ought to give It a full, free and fair discussion. He was opposed to the proposition, and he said he believed that if this was carried It would be followed up by another town meeting asking for additional appropri ations for other purposes. The speaker believed It was not fair to the tax payers to spend 91800 for this purpose. If we are bound to spend ihis amount let it be paid for work to the people who are pay ing the taxes. Mr Beecher again empha sized the point that he brought up last week, that there was nothing to prevent the selectmen from nlring the old con tractors on the work for this year. In closing Mr Beecher said, "Let's vote on this question and let both sides go away sa'isned. This question ought to be set tled In a satisfactory manner." Z. 8. Peck said he was in favor of good roads but opposed to buying a stone crusher. He believed the farmers were united In opposing any expenditure. M. C. Hawley called for a vote on the reso lution. Town Clerk Houlihan said he did not believe the question, las-, week, was fair ly decided. A be understood parlia mentary law a motion to adjiurn was not In order unless some action bad been tak en on the question for which the meeting was called. T. J. Corbett said that In the previous year the roads had cost over $7000, and he thought It was understood at the town meeting that some action like the one proposed now, would be taken. At this juncture a vote was called. The chairman declared it carried, but his de cision was doubted A division of the house showed that the resolution to buv a stone crusher was defeated by about 50 for to 100 against. I0KS FROM 8T HOSE'S THE NEW PAROCHIAL RESIDENCE. The excavating for the new parochial residence Is well onder way. Father Fox has decided to change the site of the new house from where it was first plann ed to place It and have it a little farther away from the church building so that in case of fire It would not be so apt to destroy the entire property.

The world moves, and Newtown is in tne world I The writer could hardly be lieve his own senses until he met Select man Costello and saw the road machine. drawn by three yoke of oxen and han dled by level headed workmen.

The comfoit to man and beast assured by the improved condition of the roads, so far, is great. The world and Zoar will never be the same again. Never!
