BORING TOWNS.

The Local Meeting Slimly Attended and De-
void of Interest-An Important Measure
Turned Down without q Hearing-An
Regular Nominees Elected-Tax OF 125
cents voted-From Other Towns.
There is little to be said of the Rock
ingham town meeting of '93. The atten-
dance was small and most of the voters
deposited their ballots and went home,
leaving the articles, which after all con-
tain the most important business, to care
for themselves. The meeting opened in
the usual form, and it was voted to elect
five selectmen. The polls were then
opened and the straight list of caucus
nominees elected, as published last week,
with the addition of the town clerk,
whose name was in some way omitted N
that list. F. A. Bolles was elected. On
the articles it vas voted to raise 5000 for
cemeteries, 800 for Memorial day, 5000
for the town library, and tax of $l.15,
divided as follows: Town tax, so cents !;
school Cat the option of trustees, under
the new law 40 cents; highway, 25
cents (the amount required by the new
law. A special tax of 10 cents was after
ward voted to apply on town indebtness.
Everything else was either dismissed or
handled exactly as in years past.
