It is understood that the present effi- cient clerk of the board will be retain- ed. And a better one could hardly be. found to fill the pesition. 7 This morning Selectman Merrill was at his desk in readiness for the ava- lanche of business that sometimes comes into the selectmen’s office, and Selectman Lynes was also “on deck,” ready to assist in the details of the same. The reporter did not find Se- lectman Thomes present, but he was probably attending to the interests of the town equally as well. .

E’isltors Try to Guess Its Sizeg'but Como 'Far from It. . The fact that apparent size is but a‘ hatter of comparison is constantly be- ng" demonstrated to visitors to the oeIi‘Sidh‘jbflice building. In the center )f the Court of that building, directly over the fountain, is an American flag. It is, a common thing when this flag is being viewed by visitors for employes of the building to ask them to guess its Iize. The most common answer is that it is about 12- by 2 feet. To a. casual The fact 5, it is wider than most large building lots in this city, and as long as many )f them. The area of the stars and atripes of which it is composed is am- ply sufficient for the construction of a mat cottage, with flower gardens about It. The eXact size of the flag is 24 by :he stars and stripes in this city, and t is doubtful if a larger one exists 1nywhere in lhe world. The 'flag was nought by the government a little )ver a year ago, and put in place 011 flag day,’ which was made memorable 1y appropriate ceremonies, which took olace in the pension oflice building, 1nd in which all the higher officials of the bureau took part.
