RESIDENCE OF MR. AND MRS. C. B. BUCKINGHAM

HE above house has for many years been a landmark to travelers on their journeys from the surround-

ing towns to the city. It was built in 1772, by the Rev. John Trurribull, for a Congregational parsonage;

later, it was purchased by Col. Edward Lockwood, and used as a tavern. Shortly before the opening of

the nineteenth century it came into the possession of Captain David. Woodward, son of Abel

Woodward, of Revolutionary fame, and for a score of years thereafter it passed through the most important period

of its existence, as the golden age of the stage coach brought business and prestige to this convenient and popular

tavern. Captain Woodward died in 1822, before the prosperous days of the stage coach gave way to the railroad.*

After the death of his widow, it passed to the.elder daughter Abbey; later, it came into the possession of Mrs. Henry

F. Davis, and in 1905 it passed from the hands of the Woodward family to its present owners.

The first issue of the News put out. underdate of April 1, 1913. The present issue makesthe twenty-second number. The work of get-ting out the paper has fallen mostly on a fewof the association members, and only the fewwho have had this work to do appreciate howmuch there is of it: to look after advertising,collect bills, keep up the reading matter, seeto the mailing, and take care of the numerousdetails incident to its publication requirestime, with considerable patience and goodnature thrown in. • ' • ' • - . .

• The question is: is it worth while? has itpaid the business men to advertise in its col-umns? If it is discontinued will it be missedby those to whom it has been mailed monthly?

The members of the executive committee donot feel that they can answer these questions,and have decided to call a meeting of theassociation on Thursday evening, January7, 1915, at 8 o'clock. It is intended to put thematter of the continuation of the News up tothe association and get an expression of opin-.ion as to the advisability of continuing itspublication. There have been plenty of appor-tunities to turn the paper out to news syndi-cates, and to individuals who were ready toconvert it into a weekly newspaper. In mostinstances such a change would have meantthe loss of its identity as a purely local paper,and would have resulted in a weekly papercomposed largely of outside matter with prob-ably a column, or two of local items.

From the interest shown and the successwhich the News has attained as a monthlypublication, we are led to believe that a weeklypaper would be a paying investment in Water-town. Many towns much smaller than ourshave a weekly paper in which the people takea great deal of, pride and hold it as a cherishedinstitution of the town; .

We have no authority from the associationto say whether it would be willing to turn theNews over to anyone who would agree to con-vert it into a weekly paper; we are pretty sure,however, that if any reliable party was willingto enter into such an agreement their offerwould have at least favorable consideration.If it should be decided to discontinue the pub-lication of the News, it has been suggested thatthe front page cuts could be used to advantage

in getting up a booklet showing the industries,homes, andbeauty spots of Watertown. Sucha booklet, if a large quantity were printed,.could be sent broadcast, and as an advertisingmedium might be worth more than the News.

Just what course may be followed will beleft to the meeting of the association to de-cide. In the meantime this notice, togetherwith the accompanying hints, are intended toset the members thinking, so that they willbe ready to offer suggestions when we get to-gether. Think it over, and be ready'to discussthe matter, and to offer some good practicalsuggestions at the meeting on January 7, 1915.

THE V.I . S.

One of the. institutions of^Watertown andone which has placed its mark on the land-scape of the town is the Village ImprovementSociety. Unassuming in its work it has goneon from year to year doing a little in one placethen in another, until practically every sectionof the town has received at least some benefit

• from its work. This society has been a mov-

sidewalks in the village, even to the extentof helping to pay for some of them out of itstreasury. The small parks at intersectingstreets, the signs at the approaches to the town;the spraying and care of the elm trees, plant-ing new trees on nearby roads now lackingin shade trees. The achievements of the organ-ization, extending over a period of years, aretoo numerous to mention. All of the work ac-complished has been done without any par-ticular noise or brass band advertising.

The organization contains over one hundredmembers; a general meeting being held annual-ly at which officers for the ensuing year aree'ected, the officers together with a committeeelected, constitute the executive committee..This commitee holds monthly meetings andcarries on the work of improvement which hasmeant so much to the town.

Letters have been sent to the members with-in the past few days notifying them of theannual meeting which will be held at thetown hall on Thursday evening, January 12,1915, at 8 o'clock.

In past years this annual meeting has not beenfavored with as large, an attendance as theoccasion warrants. The election of officers, thereports of the retiring officers, and the businessto be transacted are all'of very great import-ance and every member who can possibly doso should be on hand to take part and contri-bute their share to the good work.

It is discouraging to the committee, afterhaving worked faithfully during the year andgiven a lot of time to carry on the work of theorganization, to find when the annual meetingcomes only a few besides the actual member-ship Of the committee present. If you are nota member, and if you are a resident of Water-town, then you should be one; step up and takepart. The V. I. S. is not a one man or a onewoman society. It is just as much the dutyof each and every member to lend their effortsto the work in hand as it is of the executivecommittee. With the notices of the meetingthere is included a request to send in nomina-tions for the different officers to be elected.Send along your nominations to the secretaryso that there may be a good list to choosefrom, and in particular be on hand yourself,so that the annual meeting may be a trulyrepresentative one.

CHRISTMAS

The merry season of Christmas passed withthe thermometer flirting with the zero mark.Splendid sleighing and skating. Who says theclimate is changed and that we do not haveany more of the good old fashioned winters?One of our rural mail carriers, who has cover-ed his route for the past twelve years, saysthat this was the first Christmas since he hasbeen in the business that, he delivered mailwith a sleigh. Unless all signs fail the winterof 1914-15 will furnish a sufficient amount ofcold weather to satisfy the most carping ofcritics. :

There is always a satisfaction when we havean early winter, of thinking that it portendsan early spring. If an early winter means anearly spring, then we should look for the budand blossom in April, 1915. .'•'•

AUTO FIRE APPARATUS

The new fire apparatus, which has been incommission but a short time, has alreadyproved to be the right thing for Watertown.Although there has been no general alarm,several telephone calls have been responded to.Christmas week brought two, neither of whichproved serious. The fact, however, that the de-partment has a" piece of apparatus that canget to a fire quickly will mean that many smallfires will be put out without damage which,if not attended to in time might entail heavyloss. At the annual meeting of the fire depart-ment held Tuesday of this week the matterof turning the auto over to the town was dis-cussed. The department now owns it, but themembers feel that the title should rest in thetown, and it is expected that in a short timeaction will be taken to transfer the title inregular form.

INJURY TO TREES

Since the Watertown Gas Company install-ed its plant several trees have been affected:one elm tree near the Crittenden place is com-pletely dead, another near the residence ofChas. Sherwood appears to be dying. It isgenerally conceded that escaping gas from themains is the cause, as the same trouble has fol-lowed the installation of gas in other towns.If this is true the company should be com-pelled to take greater pains in laying and con-necting pipes, where a tree is affected it isgood evidence that there is a leak in the main.This narrows the matter down to a questionof workmanship, if mains are properly laidthere should be no leak. The whole thing lookslike carelessness, which if indulged in at theexpense of our elm trees, is too c6stly to betolerated without protest.

WHY SHOULD A PLUMBERSEND A BILL?

Some people groan and cuss and swear, andrip and snort and tear their hair and rend theirShirts and wring their hands and talk of mort-gaging their lands; they act like crazy folksand loons and pound their dishes with theirspoons; they rear Up on their hindmost feetand paw the air and rave and beat their breastsand sigh and moan as if they'd broke theircollar bone; they talk of robbery and thieves,of highway men with blood stained sleeves;they squeal and snort and fill the skies withloud laments and fearsome cries; they bluster,threaten, shake their fists and grind their teethand chew their wrists; they tear the carpetfrom- the floor and kick the postman from thedoor because, forsooth, the plumber's bill callfor one dollar and one mill.

" T i s rankest robbery," they cry. "We'lnever pay it till we die. Outrageous, mons-trous, wicked, wrong! That plumber man willwait a long, long time before we'll be held upand robbed by such as he. We'll see him in tindeepest pit of hottest Hades, where he'll siand toast his everlasting neck before we'll pajthis bill, by Heck." _

And thus they rave because, forsooth, the—pltimber-and—his—helpful—youth—who—carries

fourteen tons of lead wrapped up in carpet onhis head and totes a charcoal stove and brass,and solder, pipe and torch, for gasoline andcountless other things tied all together withsome strings — because, forsooth, these^ twohad dared to send a bill for things repaired,in kitchen, laundry, •.toilet, bath, behind theplaster and the lath; for creeping in the darkand dirt where spiders bit them through theshirt, to patch the broken tile with care, whileroaches nested in their hair; for fishing cast-offunder-clothes from where the soil-pipe over-flows; for crawling down the toilet bowl tofind the leak and mend the hole; for thawingout the water main and patching up thebroken drain.

"For such small things and others still, whyshould the plumber send a bill? We need ourscads and bucks and dimes, our silver coin, fortrying times when tires blow out and motorsfail—when we must pay or go' to jail for speed-ing reckless, through the park with paintedladies on a'lark: We need our money, everycent, for booze and theatres and rent, fordoctors, lawyers, barbers, tips, for gaudyclothes and summer trips. It's time to callthis plumber's bluff, we've stood his black-maillong enough."

And so they rave and cuss and swear andrip and snort and tear their hair because,.for-sooth, the plumber's bill calls for one dollarand one mill.

INSIGHT

We go along through life scorning manymen, not of our sort, whose manners, speechand appearance displease us. To the vast mul-titude, who hurry past in tides of life on thestreet, we are indifferent, cutting our waythrough the crowd; as if we were a sharp-prowed craft on an alien sea. It is not given tous in our imperfect sympathies to see truly intoall men, nor even into many men. At best wecare for a few, and hearten them by the caring.'.. It is the grace of mother love,-that it pene-trates the pitiful limitations of the one littlelife, and believes in an inner beauty. Themother believes in the unique significance ofthe child, and by that faith nourishes it togrowth. •

Sometimes the belief is sufficient to lift theobscure quality through all impediment, tillit-emerges clear and victorious. More often,the struggle of the life to affirm its essence isoverlaid with failure till it sinks to the drearierlevels of a commonplace and compromising ex-istence. But even then, that belief is alwayslike a dim beckoning that might have beenobeyed, a .call, growing ever fainter, that isnever wholly lost among the stranger voices.

It is the genius of religion to extend that-ai:ea_o.Lcaring,_oLdir.eci_vJsionJ:Q_the essentialnature lying hidden behind the veil of gross-ness. In love, we are permitted to see in thelife of the beloved the quality, the incorrupti-ble core of being, which Christ saw in all men,so that the race of men became dear to Him.Such was His practice with His friends inGalilee, and that was the teaching He left intheir consciousness to be spread among allraces of men.

LIVELY TIMES IN SMALL TOWNSSome in the cities have thought the smaller

towns were dull places especially in winter,but let them spend a month in a town of—say5,000, like Seymour, and they will soon learnthat there are so many social and fraternalassemblies that no one could attend a quarterof them if he tried. There are so many that itis often difficult to pick a night for an enter-tainment when it will not conflict with anyfunction. The home event may not be verythrilling from the viewpoint of metropolitanlife, but to home people, who know all the par-ticipants, they are full of interest, and as forthe actors, when the young folks get up anentertainment they acts think and originatefor themselves. The experience develops andsharpens their faculties and brightens theiralready quick young wits, while the audienceis delighted with, their presentation of welldiosen plays. '

NIX ON THEIR SLOGAN

Oakville in her fretful moments likes tocomplain a little on Watertown's treatment ofDakville, but Oakville belonging to Water-town, has only to look over the line to Water-bury!s_Qakville to see_rthaO^atert0.wn_has_i.tall over Waterbury. In schools/suppose Oak-ville had to send half the youngsters up toWatertbwn? In roads, getting into NewtonHeights is like climbing the rocky mountains,only more so. In state roads Watertown hadsomething on Waterbury by two years. Water-bury has put in a splendid bridge at the PinShop but still allows the ruin at the Lower"hop to serve as a bridge.'

THE TREATY 6F GHENT

Then—December 24, 1814One hundred years ago today representa-

tives of the United States and of Great Britainassembled in the hall of the Carthusian Con-vent in Ghent, Belgium, to sign the treatywhich was to conclude officially the War of1812 and to begin an era of peace betweenEnglish-speaking people which has not sincebeen broken. When in 1813 the Czar of Rus-sia offered his services as a mediator, Presi-dent Madison quickly accepted and dispatchedthree commissioners to St. Petersburg, wherethey learned that England had refused. Ayear later iingland made a direct offer formediation and five American peace commis-sioners hurried to Ghent, arriving there onJuly G, 1814. Then followed a weary halfyear of bartering for peace, England demand-ing all but the surrender of independence fromthe United States. Hopeless of arriving at anunderstanding, the American authorities be-gan to prepare for an extension of the war.Plans were laid for an increase of 100,000 mento the army, with the object of a completeconquest of Canada and its dependent terri-tory as far as Hudson's Bay and the Pacific.The era of instantaneous communication hadnot yet dawned, and consequently when theyear 1815 began Americans were unaware thatthe war had been officially terminated atGhent. Jackson fought and won the battle ofNew Orleans on January 8, and a month laterthe country was .flooded with^a million copies _of a pamphlet which appealed to the peopleof the United States to prepare for a hewcampaign against the British and "to drivethem from the American continent." Whenthe news of. the signing of the treaty finallyarrived, the pamphlets were quietly suspendedand forgotten. •

Now—December 24, 1914

Today, while many nations of Europe are teaToday, while many nations of Europe are tear-

ing at one another's throats under the spell of in-ternational war, the United States is adding toternational war, the United States is adding toits galaxy of treaties with other countries. Thestate department at Washington has in its ar-chives copies of treaties and international agree-ments which, the United States lias contractedwith every sovereign nation on earth with theexception of Uruguay, Montenegro and thesovereign principality of Monaco. Amongthese historic documents is the Treaty ofGhent in its cover of red velvet. Here, too, isthe first treaty ever contracted by Americanswith' a foreign nation—the treaty of 1778,signed by the French King Louis before burnational independence had been established.Written on parchment in both French andEnglish, it is today preserved in a round boxof solid silver on the top of which is the pri-vate seal of the French King. But chief ofthem all is the historic Treaty of Paris whichgave the United States its existence as alation and officially closed the American Revo-

lution. Written upon1 parchment in a flowingbusiness hand, it is signed "George R.,": bearsribbons finished off with tassels of red silk and-gold_cordr_and_as_,now preserved in a 'silver-receptacle six inches in diameter. Besidesthese peace treaties there are hundreds oftreaties, agreements, conventions and pro-tocols which in subject range from friendship,commerce and navigation and arbitration ofdisputes likely to lead to war to the suppres-sion of slave traffic, the right to hold realestate in Turkey and the regulation of liquortraffic with Siam.

CULTURE

By Edwin Milton Royle

This is the banner of progress, .To us groping men unfurled.

And civilization's answerTo the sorrows of. the world! .

And these are the Lord's anointed,And these are His favored sons,

And this is the race appointedTo govern'inferior ones! .

Yes. these are the Lord's anointed, .The chosen of God in trust

To bring God's love home to His childrenWith.the stab of the bayonet thrust.

And Christ said:—"Love one another!"And these are Christ's chosen ones—

Those chosen to lead their brothersTo the slaughter of the guns.

And this the religion of culture—That might is the only right;

That all things belongTo those that are strongIn the power to crush and smite.

And now blood must flow in riversFor beauty and music and art.

Is it the eagle or vultureWith its beak in the world's dead heart?

So cut off the hands of children , . - . : . :For fear they be raised in fight

And drop your bombs upon women .From the shelter of the night. . .

Is there a God of battlesOr only the God of the just?

And must the innocent perishTo satisfy culture's lust?

Lord God of Mercy, where art thou?The innocent cry out to Thee,

And mothers and children prayingIn horribl: agony.

FEMININE FANCIES

The Happy New Year is here again, and Iwish you many, reader. With the New Yearthe problem of dress is renewed. 1915 bringsforth the twelve brand new months to plan for.The first three at least retains the wearing ofheavy garments. But! there are few who ob-ject to the wearing of the pretty broadcloth,velvet, serge or any of the. woolen materials ofthe newest weaves, of this season in the pre-vailing colors, dark green and nigger brown.

Since America has had the burden of de-signing both fabrics and fashions, it has notdone anything startling as yet, but will un-doubtedly produce more striking designs thanpreviously had, for the Parisian models wereoften to the extreme and many absolutelyignored by many of the most fashionablewomen of America. .

The extremely short skirt is made with con-siderable fulness or with: a flare at the bottom.There is a four piece circular skirt.that is verypretty made with a hip yoke from which the.plaits are hung. Fur trimming on the coatsand skirts make a chic appearance, and in fact,all the newest fashions have made a decidedhit. Waists are being made with the. highcollar buttoned up to the top in military effect,which are pretty. It will probably be severalmonths before they will be. approved of bythose who have worn the rolling open-in-fronteffect. The most conspicuous style is featuredin the high collar finished with frills, lace ornet or chiffon. No doubt you have admiredthe new footwear. The cloth top shoe in dullshades of grey and tan, made in the long droptoe, ,giving the foot a long and narrow effect.The most attractive is the high lace boot withgrey or black tippers which lace snugly and

give a neat appearance to the foot and ankle.Lingerie was never prettier, the new accor-

dian plaited dancing slip, made of chiffon orvalencience lace or combined with other ma-terial is exceptionally pretty. The most prac-tical is made of crepe de chine.

Lobster Salad Without Oil — Two cupschopped lobster, one dessert spoonful mustard,one tablespoonful sugar, juice: of one lemon,three tablespoonsful melted butter, salt, andpepper to taste.

Salad Dressing—One-half cup of vinegar,one-half cup of water, one tablespoonful sugar,one tablespoonful salt, one tablespoonful mus-tard, two eggs, butter size of a walnut. Beateggs with vinegar and water, add sugar, salt,mustard, and butter. Boil until it thickensand stir constantly. .;.

Fried Clams—Fried long clams are very niceindeed. Each should be dipped into well beat-en egg, rolled in cracker crumbs, .and fried inplenty of fat.: Little Pigs In Blanket—Season large

oysters with salt and pepper, cut fat pork ofbacon into thin slices, wrap an oyster in eachslice and fasten with a little wooden skewer-tooth picks are the best.things. Cook, justlong enough in a frying pan to crisp the baconor pork—about two minutes. Place on slicesof toast that have been cut into small piecesand serve. Do not remove the skewers. Thisis a nice relish for lunch or tea.

For the Sick Room—Beef Tea—One poundof juicy beef chopped fine. Put it into a fruitjar in a kettle of cold water and boil two hours.

CENTURY

. T h e "Happy New Year" closes fifteen years-of the "Twentieth Century". For Oakvillethey have been years of wonderful develop-ment. The Twentieth Century found Oakvillewith narrow, muddy, unlighted streets, dis-reputable and fearfully inadequate school-houses, no resident professional men, no resi-dent clergy, no trolley, no lights, no gas, fewtelephones, you had to travel three miles, tovote and the same distance if you wished tohave a prescription put up. If you needed yourtooth pulled you had to go to Waterbury andif you needed a doctor you had to go to Water-town. In fact if the average Oakville man evergot anything he had to "go some". He stillhas to go some, but, nevertheless, things arecoming his way every day.

Real Estate Resume

A backward glance over the real estatetransactions of these fifteen years will showmany changes and progress both real and po-tential. Nineteen Hundred found Oakville avillage of small farms, Nineteen Fifteen a vil-lage of about 5000 building lots with as manymore to follow soon. Bear-in mind that inNineteen Hundred you -might almost say thatthere were no Morningside or Warren Park be-tween Waterbury and Oakville. Look at themnow! In Nineteen Hundred an inquiry forbuilding lots in Oakville meant either NewtonHeights or The Davis Tract (now Maple andPark Avenues). Soon after this a Hartfordrealty concern bought the A. H. Matoon placeon Falls Avenue, subdivided it into around 150lots of fair size and sold most of them. Thistract known as Oakville Heights has developedrather slowly, and houses have been built thereby Messrs. Aaron Bradshaw, J. Henshaw,Coon, Patterson, Hunter, Stevens, LeBoeuf,and Sc'hreier. .

On S.unnyside Avenue, what used to be C.K. Bond's Poultry Farm, has been developedby George. Stanley who has built about adozen houses there. Between these two tracts,

.the old George Slate place, a farm of about thesame size developed under the name of ShelterHill by Chas. F* Abbott now contains thehomes of 12 families where 15 years ago itsheltered but one; besides providing a site forthe Falls Avenue School. The F. C. Sladeplace has been made into several differenttracts and four or five houses have been built.The Wetmore place on Falls Avenue has beenbought for subdivision. Huhgerford Avenue,hardly opened in 1900, has 12 or 14 houses andthe best cinder walks as a street in Oakville.Mr. E. A. Bussemey has built, or caused to bebuilt, the majority of these houses. Mr. Busse-mey with Eugene Skilton have opened andsold a tract of lots on Riverside Street, whileMr. Bussemey as the builder and owner of thepost office building (The Violet), has been thepioneer in office building, and in so doing hasrendered Oakville a service of which bothshould long be proud. The Babin Block, andif our memory is correct, the Simon Block(Hutchinson now) also come within thisperiod. Melrose, part of the Joel Davis Farm,a tract of 399 lots, laid out prehaps 15 yearsago, has recently been built up, largely byLouis Storm, now houses between 15 and 20families.

Among the Larger Real Estate Deals

„ Among the larger real estate deals of thisperiod are the purchase of the J. H. Bairdhomestead by the Oakville Company, a largetract of land just below the Old Red Mill byThe Novelty Manufacturing Company, a sen-sational purchase by the Watertown FireDistrict of about ten acres just north of theBaird place and railroad for approximately$1000.00 an acre, the sale of the Echo LakeIce Company property to Shapiro and Ryall,which was later acquired by the WaterburyIce Corporation; the Slade Saw Mill propertyby Shapiro and the recent sale and reorgani-zation of the corporation into The OakvilleWagon Works; the change from Baird Ma-chine Company to the equally energetic Au-toyre Company; the purchase of the/entireDouglass property by W. H. Jones; the de-velopment of the A. Ineson place by C. A.Templeton (now largely owned by H. T.Green); the proposed development of Rock-dale Park by Chas. F. Abbott (formerly theWm. McCormack place) ; the purchase by theOakville Company of the C. B. Matoon placefor flowage rights; the. Botelle Farm to A.Lucia; and the Dauch property to S. Panulitis;and the New England Hotel to P. K. Finnanare those that come to mind. ." '; .

Perhaps the deals that have had the mostimmediate effect on Oakville's history was thepurchase of the Chas. Warner Farm, the Pul-len Farm, and the farm of W. S. Capewell byJ.' W. Wilbur.. These farms were subdividedinto over two thousand lots averaging about30 x 70 feet and sold promiscuously to any onewho could pay "Two dollars down and twodollars a week". The result was the immediateinflux of a foreign population of between 60and 70 families in these tracts. The generalopinion is that these operations were detri-mental to the village in many ways, (thinkof roads for instance for the town to care forlater only 140 apart), yet the average Ameri-can can learn many lessons of thrift and de-velopment by a trip throughout the OakvilleTerrace Tract. .

Another significant deal that points outWaterville's outreaching toward Oakville isthe sale and resale of The Johnson Bates place,the Waterville end now owned by the ChaseMetals Company. Wait until Fairmont re-covers from her set backs.

Won't be Farms a Decade from Now

We have mentioned a number of farms thatare no more, a few farms remain, but will theybe farms, or covered with homes in 1925? TheHungerford and Ball Farms can not long with-stand the demand for home sites and they willfurnish some of the best in the village. TheMarshall Johnson place on Sunnyside Avenue,the George Abbott and Camp places on Buck-ingham Street, the Lafage farm on ColonialStreet, and on a wider.radius, the Woodruff :an&McDonnell farms. Nearer Watertown, BrownsFarm on Davis Street, Shaws Farm adjoiningthe Novelty Manufacturing Company propertywill all feel the move of things if their ownerscare to sell.

Straws That Show What's Passing

The South School Enumeration in 1900 was104, it is1 now 285.. The Falls Avenue registra-tion was 25 in 1900 and is over 70 how. A fewyears ago we rather enviously considered the

Bunker Hill Eight-room School the acme ofambition. What have they on us today?(Oakville thinks more of her eight-room schoolthan a small boy does of his first pair of pants.)This decade and a half has developed boththe Congregational and the Episcopal parishesfrom missions to churches with resident pas-tors. One church has built a parsonage, whilethe other has purchased one. The St. MaryMagdelene Church has been organized andbuilt during this time. Then there is the largeadditions of factory buildings at the OakvilleCompany, the same by the Baird MachineCompany, the building of two new schools, thedepot, the post office building, the state roads,the Davis Street Arch,' bridges at AutoyreCompany, Oakville Company, two on FallsAvenue, voting districts, fire district, trolley,gas, water( not yet), resident professional men,and lasil but not least, the library.

WATERTOWN'S OAKVILLE PROGRAMIN THE FUTURE

Oakville has had generous treatment this de-cade from Watertown. Three new school prop-ositions, state roads, three cement bridges, theDavis Street Arch, the library vote, voting dis-trict, and minor improvements in many placesshould convince anyone that we are gettingour money's worth. Notwithstanding all this,Watertown must expect to continue a liberaloutlay here to in some measure keep up withOakville's development.

A half'-decade will necessitate two newschool projects. An exceptionally generousprogram for Oakville's main thbroughfaresshould be.maintained. The five main arteries:Falls Avenue, Buckingham Street, HillsideAvenue, Riverside Street, and Davis Street,should be widened and brought nearer tograde,-isome definite improvement each year..The main cross streets: Maple Avenue, ParkAvenue, Colonial Street, Sunnyside Avenue,and Hungerford Avenue ought to be consider-ed as needing improvements as well. A gen-erous policy in regard to the new and unaccept-ed streets should obtain. Take Melrose forinstance, a tract of 400 home sites, a wise co-operation with property owners especially inregard to the entrance street, might save a verydesirable tract from an undesirable population.A way out of the Prospect Street dilemmawould remove an eyesore in a desirablelocation. ,

Oakville for herself can do most by villageimprovement, sidewalks are needed and shouldcome fast this decade. Property improvementand development. More attention to schoolyards which are generous for a most prente-tious improvement. A public hall as well asgenerous support to her new library. All threeof the churches and their grounds will stand alittle landscape work. The business men a de-cade from now will show us a row of storesthat will make a decided change in the appear-ance of Main Street. Then there is the waterquestion. Is it too much to believe that thecoming decade will settle that satisfactorily ?

LIBRARY REPORT

The room for the library has been fitted upand painted, the furniture is mostly in place,the books have been ordered and are expectedat any time, and it looks as though the librarycould open sometime this month. The librarywill start with about 500 volumes and a gen-erous support of the institution by the citizensof Oakville will make it a valuable institution'in a very short time.|

W. P. D. CAN "GET THERE" WITH ITSNEW FIFTY HORSE POWER

CHEMICALThe writer had the utility of the new auto

chemical brought home to him very forciblyon one of the bitter cold nights of Christmasweek. The furnace fire had been started up fora while and then shut off for the night. Asmell of burning soot led to an investigation.A small flue leading from an old-fashionedbrick oven to the main chimney was full ofred hot burning soot. While it would probablyhave burned itself out without doing anydamage, nobody wants to go to bed at eleveno'clock of'a bitter cold winter night with eventhe remdtest prospect of waking up later withhis house afire. It was where it could not bereached with water unless from a hose. A tele-phone explanation of the case to the Water-town Fire Department, and the request madefor a small hand extinguisher. In an incredi-bly short time the new machine stopped infront of the house, a. small extinguisher sooneliminated the danger. The same response toan urgent call would undoubtedly head off any.fire that might start while the owner was. onthe premises unless it had an exceptional head-way. There is hardly a house in Oakyille thatis more than two minutes away from a tele-phone. About half the home owners have them.There is not a household in Oakville butshould rest easier in the knowledge that aphone call will bring a fifty horse power ma-chine tearing down to the "ville" bringing athoroughly up-to-date chemical engine, lad-ders,-axes, crowbars, fire buckets, and alsohose for the all to few places where it can beused.

Unless snow bound, Oakville situated as sheis between the Watertown 'and Waterburyfire departments, and with a live departmentof her own, whose only, but almost insur-mountable handicap is lack of movable appar-atus, ought to have all the chances that theaverage city dweller has of escaping serious,fire loss. A few water mains are about theonly thing needed to make Oakville as safeas the average suburb, but unless we are mis-taken in our understanding of conditions itwill take more than a telephone call to bringthem. Be that as it may, we thoroughly ap-preciate the enterprise of our Town's FireDepartment in putting Oakville easily withinrange of her apparatus and are personallydeeply grateful to them for this recent proofof their ability to "getjthere".

POSTMASTER HUNGERFORD

It is reported that W. C. Hungerford, whohas served years as postmaster, is a victim ofpolitics and is to retire soon, T. J. Kelly having,been appointed for the place. It is no dispar-agement of Mr. Kelly to say. that he has a hardman to follow.

Mr. Hungerford has filled the office withexceptional ability, untiring attention andnever failing affability. When Mr. Hunger-ford took the office it was a very small affairand he has, notwithstanding, Oakville's re-markable development, kept the office far inadvance of this development.

The influx of a large foreign populationbrought problems and requirements unthoughtof when Mr. Hungerford took office, but whichhe handled very competently. Mr. Hungerfordcombined with his thorough and progressivebusiness administration, an unfailing courtesythat made him an exceptional public official,nationality, creed, or color, wealth or poverty,made no difference, everybody was treatedalike, and all were treated well.
