tered in the question whether the town

a vote of 1874 to 9S to build town house to
cost not exceeding $4,000 and A. A. Brooks,
| j. G. Wallace and G. S. Davis were elected
a committee to put up the building with
authority to purchase site. A tax OF 20
cents was voted ON this years list and the
committee was authorized to pledge the
town credit for the remaining sum neces-
sary in their opinion to put the building
up, not to exceed. of course, 5000 IN the
whole There have been two sites named
for the building, first where the old jacob
Smith block stands and second in the park
in front of the bank. The first site would
seem to be free from the noise of the trains
which would be a great objection to the
other site.
