another 24 units If the need for accommodation for sen ior citizens now living in the towns fringe areas were to be included a building two or three that size would be needed Such a major senior citizens facility would be best located in the downtown area and close to the existing similar buildings on Eagle St One location which should be carefully con sidered The Era feels is the old market square obvious that it lias outlived its usefulness The expense of restoring the 88yearold market to a useful function seems to be an insurmount able obstacle to its survival The market square area still holds the key would stimulate a new look for the whole west side of Main St When this happens a new criminal court facility will be needed to replace the auditorium now used in the town hall The
