questions may arise in regard to who is Collector,
ewing an irregularity in the manner OF voting for
the candidates, two in number. 1t is probable the
Selectmen will object to both. The town voted
$4,000 lor the maintenance of schools, not including
$500 tor free high school, for reducing the town debt
5000; in aid OF the Farmers and Mechanics Club
for material for building in which to hold the
