village that East Bo0thoay cannot make
with equal propriety. 1t might be very true
that the village needs = water
supply. aud he knew whereof he spoke
when he said the large majority of the voters
of that town are willing to help them to such
a supply in proper and legal manner The
whole conflict has been over the legality of
a certain contract. The town officers had
tried to do their duty and prevent an
Illegal contract. Tney sought and obtained
the best legal advice they could get AMI be-
cause that advice was rot in accord with the
wishes OF a certain few who have no better
claims to being the friends of progress and
enterprise than many others in tbst town.
they threw up their hands and raised the
cry, 1--WE will divide the town. and they
have resorted 10 every means, fair or other
wise to do so. There is no town in all the
State that could not show as much reason
tor division as has been shown by the petit
TONERS. aud many of them could show more
aud stronger reasons. Mr.. Race said in
conclusion This is a matter of great i'm
portance not only to the welfare of the town
of Bonthbsy, but to the State of Maine, and
1 trust you will consider this carefully ere
you cast your vote to divide the good old
town of Boothbay.
/ Mr.. Record said that he had been inter-
] u
had hsd the Pleasure of listening to the
committee that were opposed
to the division of the town, and that as he
understood it each one did all he could to
hinder the Introduction of water while pro
Tossing to help it along. To him il seemed
that to divide the town meant to the village
the introduction of water and protection
against FIRE, and that it would not hurt East
Boothbay or the north part of the town
On motion of Mr.. Psttangall of Penn
broke yea and nay vote was ordered.
