OBITUARY.
Mrs. e. 8. walbridge.

Mary Ann Hicks, wife of Ibone~vr ..
n. Y, Feb. 18th, 1892, aged IS years.
From the OSwego Times we cOndense:
"Mrs. Walbridge came with her husband
to Oswego IN 1919, and hence her resi-
dence here has been contemporaneou
with our existence as city. Born in
Bennington, Vt, March 24th, 1914, she
came of sturdy New England stock. no
less noted for its patriotism than for its
longevity.
Her grandfather, John Hicks, was
one of the earliest martyrs to American
liberty. He was slain near the junction
of North Arena and Spencer streets, at
the battle of Lexington, by the retreat
ing British troops, April 10Th, 1775, while
there is tradition that he assisted in
the destruction of the tea in Boston har-
Dor, Dec. 10th, 1773. His name to-day
heads the list of martyr patriots in honor
of whom the city OF Cambridge erected
a granite monument in 1870.
His wife attained the advanced ace
of 100 years. Mrs. Walbridge's parents
were James and Thedee (Kellogg) Hicks
of Bennington Centre, whence their de-
scendants have since radated through
out the Republic.
MI anu MIS-. wharfage stopped en-
route from Bennington to Oswego for
ten years at Syracuse, and while there
she became a member of the Park Pres
byterian church on confession of faith.
In 1850 she joined the First church of
this city by letter, and was an active
member at the time of her death. For
years she was an active member of the
W. e. L. u.
''She leaves behind her the impress of
an earnest and consistent Christian life,
of one whose heart and purse were al
ways open to the cry of the needy, whose
interest in missions was at once enthus-
iastic and practical, finding vent in many
personal sacrifices and private contribu-
tions to the cause; while as wife, sister,
friend and neighbcr, her career was re-
plete with loving offices and unOstenta-
tious helpfulness."

Eva NJ. LIKE.

Miss Eva NJ. Lyke, one of the Graded
school teachers, died Wednesday evening.
She had been i'll about two weeks. The
disease was complication of pneumonia
with acute Bright's disease, according
to the statement of her doctor. Up to
within short time of her death hopes
had been entertained Of her recovery,
but she rapidly grew worse, sank into
stupor and passed quietly away. She
was a sister of Mrs. Frank J. Curtis, had
been a resident of Bennington since
September LIST, 1891, and was a young
lady much beloved by her pupils, asso-
ciates and friends. As a teacher she
gave great promise of being successful
and rising in the profession. This was
her first school, and she was a graduate
of the Palmyra \. Y. High school, at
her home. Mr.. and Mrs. Lyke, her
parents, were present at the funeral
yesterday afternoon. The remaiDs were
taken to Palmyra this morning for in
terment. The estimation in which she
was held is set forth in the following:
On the announcement of Miss Lyke's
death the Superintendent called the
teachers together and arrangements
were made for attending the funeral and
the following obituary resolutions were
prepared by committee for that pur-
pose:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased God in his
infinite wisdom to remove by death our
esteemed friend and co-worker, Miss
Eva Lyke; and,
WHEREAS, In her untimely death we
are called to mourn the loss of one who
during her short stay with us won our
enduring friendship and esteem; there
fore,
Resolved, That we tender our deep

THE TOWN FINANCES.
The Auditors Make Their Annual tx
hIbIt-The Debt Decreased; Also the
Available ASsets-The Tax OfS5 cts.
Last Year insufficient.

h1bit-Ihe Debt Decreased; Also the
Available ASsets-The Tax OfS5 cts.
Last Year Insufficient.
The report of the Auditors below is a
document that will bear study, inasmuch
as a new departure was made last year.
Then it was commended that tax of So
cents on the dollar and 80 cents highway
tax was the equivalent of 100 cents town
and Is cents highway, but the results as
shown by the Auditors do not substaDti-
ate that plea. As will be recalled the
Auditors recommendation last year was
to raise, on the basis of the preceding
year, 100 cents and Is cents. The esti-
mated expenses Estate tax not included
of 2,SSG.4) were placed at S32, 446. 40,
and the tax had netted $31, $3.50 exclu-
sive of money in the hands of the collec-
tors.
The town voted IS cents and 80. and
the result is shown below. Last year we
had SS,07l.3O cash assetts-this year
S644.S7. The tax last year Melted the
town the sum of S3l, 357 60-this year all
there is of it is S2G, 99S.S4. The highway
money coming into the town treasury is
included in both instances. Last year
$1,000 four per cent bonds were retired
this year $4,000; and yet the finances
have been so managed that the total debt
Gnterest included), has been increased
only in the sum of S5,70S,-
70. We have always cOntended that the
highway accounts showing deficiencies
were matter of bookkeeping regulated
by statute, however, and this theory can
easily be proved by comparison between
the two years and two methods of divid-
ing up the taxes as aforesaid.
The Auditors recommend now a tax of
125 cents on the dollar land the people
can vote 30 cents or more highway tax if
they please), to even up. AS there is
S37, 076.6l to pay next year, it is simple
problem of arithmetic how much will be
necessary. We shall have more to say
about this next week. We give the
AUDITORS REPORT.
We, the undersigned, your Auditors
for the current year, have attended to
the duties of our Office, and respectfully
report.
We have examined the accounts and
vouchers of your Selectmen, Overseer of
the Poor, your Collectors, Liquor Agent,
Town Clerk and Treasurer, and find the
same correct.
We have cancelled all the orders paid
by the Treasurer, drawn by the Select
men, Overseer and Justices, and have
also cancelled twelve per cent. bonds,
(Nos90, 100, l0l, l02, 103, l04, 1O5, 1906 100,
ITO, Ill, 1l2,) of $500 each, (S6OOO); also,
4 per cent. bond coupons paid during the
current fiscal year to the amount of
81, $50; also, railroad bond coupons to
the amount of S7,735.
The following is a statement of the fl
nancial condition of the town, as we find
