Mr.. EDIToR.-I have noticed frequent
ly of late your editorial labors in trying
to accomplish something for the improv
ment of our town. Is it not labor lost
"oT pearls thrown to swine? ?" Was not
an effort made last year just prior to the
meeting of our Legislature to accomplish
something in the line of your ideas
Were not several meetings held? at
which the Mayor of the town presided
and the greatest financier of the town
acted as secretary. Resolutions were of
fered at the meetings in furthering the
object which you have ever since been
hammering at in your editorials. What
was the result of the efforts of all the
combined intelligence and wisdom as
sembled on those occasions. Did not
the great town tinancier express himself
land was his views not endorsed by one
other of the town fathers, that tax pay
ers owning property in the town but liv-
ing outside of it, had no rights in the
corporation except to vote and quietly
pay their taxes Was not motion made
that q committee of twelve of our ablest
citizens financially intellectually and for
their general superior business qualitica-
tons, carried almost unanimously? And
did not the great financial secretary make
out revised list of the committee and
assist with his great knowledge our
worthy Mayor President to make a most
iudicious selection that could be made
for the purpose.of carrying out the views
of the citizens of our town, with the re-
suit that was plainly visible before the
committee ever met although the com
mittee held the matter under advisement
for a long period with various meetings
held and thorough discussion of all
the points to be taken into reconsideration.

came. 1t is deemed in the wisdom OF
your committee that it is incXpedient at
this time to act in the matter of extend

matters brought before the meeting

extending the town boundaries for ut
