Lamplignters, $50
Incidentals, 500
Police, 500
Salaries and rents, 1900
Township debt, 900
Fire companies and plugs, 1000
In the matter of roads it was thought
that the above amount would be sufficient
for repairs until special Town Meeting
was called to consider permanent i'm
provement under the provisions Of the
bill recently published in this paper.
For gas, oil and repairs to lamps there
was balance left from last year of $245
and this with $1,000 additional made the
appropriation as above given. Some re-
marks were made by Col. John L. N.
Stratton in regard to the inattention to
lighting the streets ON many occasions
when it was supposed to be moonlight
and hoped it would be remedied. Mr..
Lewis also stated that some lights were
left burning all night which was unneces-
sary. Mayor Henry said that the lamps
were not lit at all in many instances in
his neighborhood, and if the lighting was
overdone in Mr.. Lewis neighborhood it
was sadly neglected uphis way. Joseph H.
Gaskin called the attention Of the meeting
to the fact that on many Sunday nights the
streets were in utter darkness and people
were compelled TO grope their way home
in the dark as best they could. 1t was
general growl and the Moderator gener-
ously allowed the meeting full swing in
ventilating the matter.
The appropriation for township debt
includes a balance of 1927 90 in han d,
making but $500 added this year.
The appropriation of $1,000 for the
fire department was after deducting $145
for fire plugs ordered to be divided
equally between the companies, which
gives each $285.
Joseph 81. Gaskill moved that dogs be
taxed 80 cents each, shuts $500. MAY
or" Henry amended by making it 81 for
the former and S. for the latter. The
amendment was lost and Mr.. Gaskilla
motion was unanimously carried.
An effort was made to appropriate
$2400 for hose for the three companies
and Adelbert S. Bullock made a motion
to that effect. 1t was the sentiment Of
the meeting that such action would be
illegal and the motion was withdrawn.

larger result. First, there is the
immigration constantly setting
from the Eastern to the Western
States. 1t is the same current
which found its way to Ohio, Indi-
ana and Illinois, and later, to Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska. Into this
vast area, population is beginning
to flow from the older states, in
a constantly widening current.
Only small proportion of foreign
immigration is now arrested in the
older states. The reason is that
