GEO. L. STow, Sec'y.
Chelsea, VT, Mch. 3, 1892.
The town meeting passed off both quick.
" and quietly, nearly all the old officers
being reelected. They voted to raise one
hundred cents on dollar and 15c. highway
TO be paid in money. The following reso-
Iutions were presented by g. l.. Stow and
seconded by Mr.. Sherman,J u. M. Comstock
and Others, and were carried almost unan-
mously.
The matter of town hall did not meet
with such favor, however, and 1t was voted
TO pass the article without even giving
hearing to several persons who had propo
sitions to make. This town needs a hall
and most OF the influential men in town
,annot see why this is not a good time to
start one, and it looks as il there would be
special meeting called for the purpose at
40 distant day. Let us hope yet for a
own hall that will be credit to the shire
own of Orange county.
RESOLVED, That the town appropriate
he sum of 300 to be expended in the pur-
,hase OF books with which to establish a
public library. !
Provided, That the Chelsea Library As
ociation and Ladies' Library shall discon- $
inue its present organization and give its
looks to such public library.
Provided, also, that any nom resident
amily containing member of the present /,
library association may have the benefit of !
aid public library by paying each year S
nto the town treasury a sum OF money a
quail to the library tax upon its grand 8
st, which such nonresident family i
fould contribute did it live in town. II
