The Council and Natural Gas.

On Thursday of this week thu
village Council held an election or
the question of boring for Natura
Gas. Just what the Council, as
such, has to do with the matter al
this stage of proceedings is invisi.
BILE.
The council as public body is
one of limited powers, with which
it is invested by the municipal code
and among those powers is not the
power to bore for Natural Gas.
Therefore the power to 50 bore,
forNatural Oasis contingent on the
passage of an enabling act by the
Legislature of the State.
No such special law has been
enacted and no authority exists for
the extraordinary action of the
Council, and all the trouble of
holding the alleged election
is void ab:initioN and can have
no legal effect whatever:
Neither can it be claimed that
the result of said so-called elections
is any true indication of the true
feelings or desires of the inhabi-
tant Taxpayers of this corporation,
for the reason that a great number
of citizens refrained from express
ing their preferences by voting at
said election, and simultaneously
with the voting petition was in
circulation against the proposed
bonding of the town for the pur-
pose. The total number of votes
polled on Thursday was 364, while
the total vote of last fall was 72S.
AS to the advisability of boring for
Natural Gas we will not now con-
slider, preferring to wait until
there can be some legal action
taken by the citizens.
The question is one upon which
there is II wide difference of
opinion and the question should be
fairly and honestly discussed in
such manner as to enable our peo-
pie to come to an intelligent con-
,lusion on the subject.

amuse American farmers with the
belief that they are protected while
they are undergoing the process of
tariff eXtortion.
The way to protect the farmers
is to widen the area of commercial
freedom, so that they may have
wider markets for their surplus
products and obtain the commodi-
ties they consume mt fair prices.
So long as the existing system
shall endure the farmers of this
country will be obliged to sell
their products under conditions of
free trade, and to buy what they
consume at, prices manipulated by
