 The November town meeting seems to have been overlooked by most voters in the borough. The ssnotice on the sign. post" was overlooked by the reporter, hence failed to get in its work. Conse quence an attendance which appears to have been chiefly of the class which con siders that "a town debt is 8 town bless. ing" as tax of but II per cent. was laid, which is unlikely to meet expenses, and also retire the portion of the towns bonds coming due within the year. David Bis sett was appointed collector, and other minor officers chosen. It was voted not to make any appropriation for memorial day.
