summary of council proceedings of 1011 in connection with maria street bridge it appears the deliberations occupied more time than ave gathered from those first fbef phbss files perused the new siding was first reported in the council proceedings of june 2nd 1010 and the start on the structure was not made untirway two years later the question did occupy more of coun cils time than that first perusal of the files seemed to indicate but councils work was done in 1010 two years before actual building of the structure while the council minutes and records of thot period are very incomplete the files of tub- frke press are all intact and giv6 quite a picture of events at that time and copies of resolutions cover ing the proceedings the free press has been very fortunate in having preserved complete files since the start of publication in 1875 and these provide perhaps the most complete record of acton for the past sixtyseven years the local paper does week by week record the history ot the community it represents as no other vehicle can v it can lie done attorneygeneral conant continues his effort to wipe out the slot machine robbery several thous and dollars wopth of machines have becn-confiscat- ed hundreds of places in which they were operated tctosed with the exception of those who were profiting by the business few were those who had a good word for slot machines but as long as the temptation was in the way young people fell into it without thought lost money they couldnt afford and in some instances stole from employers to make good those losses the attorncygenerals squad is doing a worthwhile job a fact which is now freely admitted in connection with the campaign a new development has appeared several municipalities granted licenses to the operators who in turn paid the prescribed fee now that it has been held by the courts that the law forbids such licensing the owners of places closed and whose ma chines were confiscated are demanding

citizens v a wartime fair the decision of acton fair to hold the event this year qn a friday and saturday rather than in mid week when a change was necessary is but following u trend that is in keeping with the times and the community back xwentyfive years ago a midweek event was quite popular we often had civic holi day proclaimed for a wednesday and thanksgiving was on a ttiursdny midmeek interruptions of busi ness wcr indeed welcomed today in wartime production the midweek in terruption is almost an impossibility the indus tries of the community have forsome time found that such an event is detrimental to production schedules and while the fair is largely a rural exhi bition its attendance is largely drawn from town as well as country when a change uf dates was necessary to avoid clashing with a nearby fair we think it well that all points were taken into eonsiuerutton and that the dav chosen was one on which many more may have nextcity lltou cistsji adnjqstihh oardtoi6 recfions from they would spend plenty of time mak ing inquiries and frequently they would get off on the wrong road and waste many hours and burn more gasoline so the advertising guideboard points the
