The newly elected town officers
do not take charge Of municipal
Affairs till next month. We have
reason TO believe the now authorities
much more progressive and enter
prising than the old and we expect
much more from them. They are
all young men and seem 10 give
ent re satisfaction In the selection
and election Of them, politics was
not taken into consideration. The
general sentiment was to get live
young men who would do somthing
for the material advancement Of the
town. We shall wait and give them

for the good they may do and crit
icise them severely II they deserve

While it has been the general
disposition to crlticise The town
officers during the past year, it must
be remembered that the corporation
tax.has been very light and that
several hundred dollars indebted
ness has been paid and the present
authorities will step down and out
With a clean record, leaving no
debts, but on the contrary a bal
lance in the town treasury. for all
OF which we must allow due credit.
We have poked a good deal Of fun
at them ourselves. but we are will
ing to give credit where it is due.

The ticket selected by the caucus
was elected without opposition and
we have reasons to believe the new
Council "A good one and that som.
thing will be done for the town.
The body is young, progressive and
made up of representative men and
the people are expecting great
things of the new officers. Well
we will give them fair trial any,
