wRDHAM, March g.
1 am 10 favor Of the listers meeting, and think It
the better. JAS w Comm
These replies, it will be seen, cover 10 of
the % towns in the county, and the sentiment
is unanimous in favor of a meeting. So far
as the Brattleboro listers are concerned, we
Are authorized to say that they favor the
meeting and will attend. A majority of the
gentlemen heard from, who express prefer
enoa as to place, prefer coming to Brattleboro,
as will be seen. Conformably to the general
tenor of these responses, and after personal
consultation with several listers from different
towns, whom we have CHANGED to meet, we
take the liberty to name Wednesday, March
23d, at 1890 A. M, as the day and hour for
holding the meeting, and the Brooks House,
Brattleboro, as the place We think the wis
dom of naming Brattleboro as the place will
be universally conceded when the convenience
of the Connecticut River towns above Brat
tleboro is taken into consideration. For the
listers in the West River towns above New
fame, the only additional trouble and expense
involved will be that of coming through TO
Brattleboro by rail, instead of stopping at Fay
etteville. We are authorized to say that Mr..
Goodhue, of the Brooks House, will furnish
a large, convenient room for the meeting, free
of expense We trust that the representa-
tion of the several boards of listers will not
be confined to the chairmen alone
