snowstorm that had visited Hol yoke since the season opened It was called to his attention that Springfield had not so great a total reported but he said that Holyoke had two or three storms which Springfield knew noth ing about As Mr erry has full charge of Holyoke weather he is in a position to keep a more accurate count than those who cut a notch in a fence rail every time a snowstorm happens along for this year the fence rail would give out before all the storms could be recorded and the chances are that the rail would be split up and burned owing to the lingering of the season

ets for a concert to be put on by the National society for broader education the society having headquarters in Pennsylvania This concert is being represented as under the auspices of the relief corps but the chamber understands that aside from a certain payment the receipts will not go to the corps but to the Penn sylvania concern The local corps will get a stated sum and the receipts from the tickets sold at the door it Is said while the proceeds of the sale of tickets by solicitors will go to the Broader educational society In this action the local chamber seems to be In line with action taken by a num ber of other cities where a similar plan was tried The relief corps and those in charge of the proposed concert do not take kindly to the stand of the chamber of commerce and say that they dn get a financial benefit from the concert and that the people at tending the concert will get the worth of their money The question to be considered seems to be largely an eth ical one and in talking it over yes terday many people seemed to think that the relief corps would be the ones to suffer most from the adoption of such an arrangement and If they are willing to take the chance in the future it does not concern the general public to any great extent The plan seems to be similar to the methods used in presenting "The Cho sen in the city some time ago although the associations

this week and all articles must be in the hands of the town clerk on or before Saturday The warrant must be posted by Mon day a week before the meeting The committee on appropriations has made a good start but the members hays a busy time in store getting the budget in shape for the town meetings in April In order to keep the tax rate down to a reasonable figure the com mittee will not be able to recommend many large expenditures this year outside the regular departments No Report on Ante ire Truck The prudential committee of the fire district have not yet reported on the recommendation as to automobile ap paratus for the fire district although it has unofficially been reported that they favored an automobile truck and chemical which would cost about $2000 If a pumping engine is not to be in cluded there seems no reason' for a 82000 expense for a chemical truck and there are doubts whether an auto mobile apparatus where there is no permanent fire department would prove as satisfactory as a horse drawn red A Eldred of Springfield will give an exhibition of sleight of hand at the Congregational church vestry to morrow evening Mr and Mrs William Judge of Gaylord street will leave the
