The splendid farming weather keeps
farmers pretty closely at home and the
quietness usual to this season of the
year prevails in the village
Our new board of officials seem slow
at organizing and getting to work, for
various reasons. The treasurer elect
declines the office and it devolves on
the trustees to fill the vacancy. Two
of the trustees elect are bondsmen for
saloon-keepers and cannot qualify until
released A meeting TO complete the
organization was held Monday even
ing and adjourned to Tuesday. Our
present board will have free scope for
action. The previous one, filling out
year that had begun under the town
board, were considerably hampered by
questions as to the extent of their
authority in matters that had been in
stituted by the town board. Now their
way is clear and it is to be hoped that
various subjects affecting the best in
terest of the village will be acted upon
with discreet vigor
Geo. Govier has been putting spout
ing to the roof of his hall building and
the question arises, why not utilize the
drainage of this immense roofing for
village fire purposes? 1t will be amply
sufficient to supply a large cistern and
a large cistern at this locality in the
heart of the business portion of the
village would be invaluable in case of
fire. We understand Mr.. Govier is
willing to cooperate with the village
officials in effecting this.
Hampton & Wilcox are putting an
excellent refrigerator in their store
building, fol the storage of meat and
other article liable to be effected by
the summer heat. 1t will be completed
in day or two and they will then open
their meat market. With such well
ordered establishments as theirs and
Billig's, lovers of fresh meat here may
consider themselves well favored
