News and citizen. [volume] (Morrisville, Vt. ;) 1881-current, 1889-03-07

IN Henry a very courteous and Oblg1ng Clerk
one who executes the duties of his Office in an
acceptable manner.
On motion of L. S. Small the old board o.
Selectmen, C.. NJ. Strong, l.. E. Harrington
and J. o. Reed, were reelected in a body, al
effort to elect each one separately having
failed. For the Office of Treasurer A. V. Wis
well, the efficient and competent occupant o
that position for many years, was renominateC
by III. M. Mcfarland, who very clearly anC
concisely set forth reasons why he should bt
reelected and called upon those who were op
posed to him to state their reasons why III
should be defeated. But no response wa'
made. Col. Sawyer also spoke very strongl,
in favor of Mr. Wiswell. +. X. Child wa
placed in nomination by DR.. Randall and
ballot called for, which resulted in I'll vote
being cast of which Child received 100, de
feating Honest Adna" by seven votes. A
we have stated heretofore Mr.. Wiswell ha
proved an excellent official, against who's
official record not a word could be raised. III
was sacrificed to satisfy the demand of ceT
tain ones who had taken a dislike to him.
For Overseer of the Poor, III. NJ. Noyes wa
elected, but declining to serve, was excuses
and H.. c. Lanpher, the former Overseer, rt
elected. We think Grimes" makes aggoo
0verseer, rather likes the position, but wi
not be imposed upon, yet at the same tim
takes good care of our worthy poor.
For First Constable and Collector, S. i
Waite, the present incumbent, was r~e-electe
without opposition, which fact indicates tina
Smith is acceptable to all parties. Deli1
quents, however, had better look out for hiI
all the same. L.. p. Butts again takes tn
position as Second Constable. These officer
were given the jurisdiction of the State.
For Listers, j. G. Croker, III. c. Lanphel
and Chas. Whitcomb again comprise tn
board. The old board of Auditors, Davi
Randall, George Gilmore and, Ii. ID. W. Doty
were reelected, as was also r. S. Page 70
Trustee of Public Money,
For Fence Viewers, a long man, q heay
man, and a short man were reelected, consist
ing of o.. $. Spaulding, l.. p. Jackson, and /
P. Hill.
: For Town Grand Juror, Geo. Gilmore an
ii. j. Lilley were placed in nomination. Th
[ ballot resulted in Mr.. Lilley receiving ITO on
of 1913 votes cast. Mr.. Lilley has formerly
but not of late years, filed this position an
is well acquainted with the duties thereof. \
A. Robinson was reelected for the north pal
of the town. Chas. Crane was reelected fo
Inspector of Leather and Nj. 2. Cheney an
John Schoteld, Inspectors of Lumber an
Shingles.
, A resolution was introduced with a view
l separating the duties of Road COMMISSIONS
, from those of Selectmen; but it was defeated
the board of Selectmen being again put in @
Road Commissioners There was some oppC
sition to Mr.. Strong, however, the vote bein
81 for Strong, A for l. c. Vaughan, Is for
A. Spicer, and one for S. N. Whitcomb. I'll
other Road Commissioners were elected witt
out opposition. G. s. Page and Waldo Bril-
ham were placed in nomination for Agent, bU
, Mr.. Brigham withdrew, leaving the field clea
: for Mr.. Page.
For member of County Board of Educatio
formerly Town superintendent H. NJ. M
Farland, NJ. P. Cheney and H. d. W. Dot
were placed in nomination. Here again I'll
personal animosity of some was exhibite,
: Mr.. Mcfarland withdrew and the contest Wa
S between Cheney and Doty. The ballot r
suited in the latter party receiving 80 of I'll
e 145 votes cast. We believe however, NJ
Doty will as a member of the county boar
do what is best in his judgement for the ed
/, ~cational interests of the Town and count
As agent to convey real estate c.. M. Stror
was elected to fill that position.
/, 1t was voted to raise 100 cents on the dc
D lar to pay the State and county tax, tow
and highway expenses for the coming yea
