tep the intallation of ewer perhaps we might make tome other recollection too thirty year ago acton had only two indu trie and wa willing to advance 25 000 to qe another in operation today we have 16 and none of them are bonused by the municipality thirty year ago we had no paved itreet and during thi period the roadway from queen st to main st wet ha been paved and paid for thirty year ago the high and public school were all in one building and a separate high school ground and building ha been nc quired and paid for in that period thirty year ago we hod no covered arena in acton weve

water and thrtmj pump instead of the fut mall one end ever port of acton is served thirty years ago we didn t vote for water works installation because we didn t own any property and didn t qualify for a vote we ve been helping to po for that expenditure for 25 of those thirt years and were glid those 205 citizens batk m 1919 had foiesiqht enough to vote for prcxft ind keep the town abreast of the times in 1949 we ve got a vote on sewerage and were going to vote es because we know that those 205 citions in 1919 took a chance and the evidence of thirty years say the were right we believe we owe it to our aay and generation to keep in step with progress we ust couldn t i welch and vote no next monday when we ve enoyed for thirty years the progressive steps of men and women of another

spent moat of the lime in jus one spot at the cwe we ii be going back at other times 1o see features of this great annual event we- usually leave over part of our holiday leisure so that this can be accomplished weve been doing it for years and it never seems to get tiresome it seems such an easy way to see so much in a few brief days that we antiopate it with a relish each year most folks can find an interest here too be cause it doe seem that this great event has over the years found the means of giving to each vtsi tor the things they want to see nd hear and become trie how window of the
