WHILE the actual number of popula-
ton in North Milford is increasing, yet
there is a peculiar condition, which would
contradict the fact. BY looking closely
at the poll tax assessment Of the North
Milford public schools, and drawing con-
illusions from this source for the past five
vears-it would make an apparent fact
that the white population Of North Mil
ford is less than it was in preceding years,
and this is caused by so many widows
living and owning the property in these
districts. North Milford is really 9 town
Of widows, all Of whom are more or less
wealthy, and whose property, under our
present school laws, do not pay their pro-
portionate part of our school tax. At the
next Legislature the school board should
have an amendment to the special law
under which the North Milford public
schools are maintained, passed, which
would give the women the right to vote
at the school election and powerto assess
the poll tax to them In our town cleo
ton they have the right TO vote, and in
mauy of the larger cities and towns the
same privileges are granted to them
Something should be done in this matter
as it is operating to the disadvantage o.

THE dog poisoner is again scattering
poison in South Milford. Two valuable
setter dogs have fell victims-one owned
bv DR.. 7. S. Prettyman and the other by
lanes o. Chamberlain. 1t is a mean
cowardly man or woman who will delib-
erately kill a valuable animal of this kind;
but this is not the only phase IN which
this meanness hurts. Many dogs are pets
in families, and their attachment to chill
dren sometimes places them beyond finan-
cial value. Owners of dogs will gener-
ally pay for any damage they may do,and
keen them from becoming a nuisance to
others VIXEN complaint is made Of them.
A cowardly. ignorant aud mean DISPOSE
