The Township Trustees met in Clerk Beatty's
| office Monday, allowed bills, voted to extend

expenses in attending the Grave Diggers' Con-
vention at Boston. In regard to the last item,
we give Trustee Evans credit for entering his
protest. He, and many others, are unable to
see what benefit the township of Ravenna can
derive from this pleasure excursion of its official
grave digger, or why all township employees are
not entitled to a like allowance from the over
flowing treasury of the township. Will the
servants of the people" enlighten us upon this
| subject?
