GERS for the ensuing year, adjourned till nine
O'Clock the next morning when the people
gathered to finish the business Of the town.
Considerable discussion Of various subjects
ensued, some very sharp points being made
by both sides. When the report OF the sew
eral town officers came up to be accepted,
Mr.. John B. Chase said there was a dis
crepancy in figures in that report, which he
was prepared to show. He appealed to the
moderator for an explanation. A motion was
made Bot to accept the report of the several
town officers, and when action was taken on
the motion, the town voted not to accept
their report. Afterward an effort was made
to bring the matter before the people again,
but the chair ruled, the matter was disposed
of for the day, so nothing more could be done
with the report. 1t stands rejected by the
vote OF the meeting. The meeting compared
