FORMATION Of Garneld and Arthur Club
In response to a call from the republican
city committee a goodly number of republi.
cans assembled in City Hall on FRIDAY even.
ing last for the purpose of forming a republi-
can club for active service during the coming
state and National campaigns The meeting
was organized by the choice of A. NJ. Spear.
chairman. and J. s. Snow. secretary. A
committee consisting of W. Wilson. ]. o. A.
Halves. and ]. W. Church was chosen TO re-
port list of officers for a Garfield and Arthur
ciub. After consultation the committee re-
ported as follows:
President-D. X. Jewell.
Vice Presidential W. Burr.
Secretary-C. F. Warner.
Treasurer. II. Lowell.
Executive Committee-A. NJ. Smear F
Stevens. Orrin S. Winter. W. c. Chase.
Finance Committee-J. r. Bodwell. r. F
Warner.
MARSHALL W. Tilden.
Enrolling Committee-Benj. J. Richards,
H. L. Grindell. Jas. Atkins. Jr. J. E. Brann.
Albert Winter. John ID. Bailey.
a COMMITTEE on Resolutions. Constitution
ahn BYLAWS was chosen, consisting of f..
Rowell. c. +. Warner and A. W. Burr.
After further consideration respecting the
work to be done in completing the organiza-
ton and carrying forward the work of the
campaign. the club adjourned to Tuesday
evening next, July l3, when it is to be hoped
there may be a full attendance of all the
voters of fIallowell who condemn the late
democratic and greenback attempt to '.steal
the State" and who favor the election of
Daniel + Davis as Governor of Maine. and
James A. Garfield and Chester A. Arthur as
President and Vice President of the United
States The prospects are bright for repub-
lican success, both State and National, but it
will require ''eternal vigilance TO secure
results so important to the best interests of
the entire people.
The assessors have completed their work
Of assessing taxes on the polls and estates of
tax payers of this city. and committed a list
to Collector Graves, who has issued his no.
tees that all who pay on or before the 18th
inst. will be entitled to a discount of 10 per
cent. The valuation was estimated as fol-
lows: Resident real estate. 1853 900; resident
personal estate, S454, 567: nonresident real
estate, 81 500; nonresident personal estate.
$4,000; total valuation, 81 ,4S4 3S7. Rate
of taxation, 2 per cent. The total valuation
last year was 81 All ,4l6; rate per cent. IL
per cent. In consequence of the large in
crease in amount to be raised for State,
county and city appropriations, the taxes this
year are considerably higher than last year.
The purchase of the new steam fire engine,
and other extra expenses will account for the
increase in the appropriations for city expen-
ditures, while the increased state and county
estimates may be traced to causes that are
apparent to every discerning Taxpayer in the
State. Had not these several appropriations
been increased. the taxes in this city would
have been considerably less than last year.
Large appropriations. of course, create the
necessity of rates of taxation to meet the
emergency.
