We are requested to state that the
statute makes special provision for the
punishment of any one who destroys
or damages guide-boards. And we

Collector Lilley now has the unpaid
taxes for collection. OfS9421.52, the
Treasurer collected some S9379.S3
less four per cent, leaving S1O41.69
for the Constable to collect. This is,
we believe, some $3.50 more than last
year, and is we think a fair showing
taking into consideration the fact that
the tax is some % cents on the dollar
more than last year.

towns will avail themselves of this
grand opportunity. Admission 25 cts. (;
