l Let's Talk It Over by us-

It's good to be able to cm! the infant in awaddlllll clothes whom- we all 1955 on a note of com- lnendetlan. We do this with -11 sincerity and a lot of enthuslaain in connection with the town's Dur- gm of the Brennan property-

ve buying of Brennan land on the east of Summer street. and the establishing of Queen Elizabeth Park was a master stroke of a few years ago, and we feel now that the town fathers have "done it nun.” O ' O O -

We agree, of course, with the criticism that, the citizens should know how fast that they had to go down into the stocking to effect this purchase. It will have to be admitted that an opportune pur- chase is pct necessarily "cheap at any price.' We feel. also, that even if the price is reasonable, there will be doleful expressions of dismay from a few citizens. Without con- cloning any irregularity that may be connected with this purchase. we still want to keep this comment on s congratulatory level. We be- lieve if s new auditorium is built on this property, with all the pos- sible services it promises for our citizens, that in ten years' time the present town council will be re- membered with gratitude for this financial adventure at the begin- ning cf 1956. Any high-handed pro- cedure which may in linked with the transaction will be largely for- gotten.

By all means, rap. their knuckles for any shortcoming that may have been detected. We'll wait in the wings-with a bouquet for their wisdom and foresight in bringing about a transaction that will stand

to their credit for many, many years. 0'LEARY -The Oueary and Distl-lct
