OUR TOWN EXPENSES.

Editor Of the Ph9niI:-
1 see by last years town report that 1t
has cost nearly $4,000 to run the town,
and now the selectmen want the tax raised
from IS cents to 45 cents on the dollar or
nearly 43 per cent. During these hard
times to support his family, pay the inter
est on the money invested in his home, and
nav such enormous tax, is more than the
laboring man can do.
The citizens of Brattleboro are justly
proud of their town; its attractions are the
comment of people far and wide; our pop
ulation has Increased largely by reason OF
the satisfactory condition Of its finances,
low rates of taxation and good manage
ment of its affairs. Laboring men have
built and bought homes, feeling sure value
would increase rather than diminish uhueI
these conditions, but the appalling rate at
which our expenses are coming up, OF late,
in both town and village, should cause
every tax payer to insist upon a halt; as
we will soon reach point where real es-
tate must decline and its sale and the oulld-
inc of homes come to a standstill.
we all take great pride in seeing our
village keep pace with improvements OF the
ace but LET us not overreach the limit
The people of this town should turn ou'
next Tuesday, and not content themselves
with voting for town officers, but be pres
emf after the announcement OF the result
of the voting, and see that our town tax II
cut down rather than increased.

HOW TO VOTE.

Read This and Refresh Your Memory.
By suggestion of Town Clerk Newton The
Phoenix presents herewith portion of the
official ballot which will be used at the
Brattleboro town meeting next Tuesday.
Uuder the ballot law as revised in 1892,
the voter who wishes to vote the entire
ticket without change may do so by mark
ing a single cross in the large square at the
top of the ballot. II he does not wish to
vote the whole ticket, or If he wishes to
vote for men whose names are not printed
on the ticket, he must not make any mark
in this square, but must mark a cross in
the little square at the right hand of each
name he wishes to vote for. If he writes
in name to be voted for on one of the
lines provided for that purpose he must
mark cross against the name after he
has written 1t. 1t is the cross which con-
stitutes the vote.
Do not mark off any names from the
ballot, for this amounts to nothing. but II
you wish not to vote for any candidate do
not mark cross against his name.
If you are not sure about the proper way
to mark your ballot ask for assistance as
the law provides.
Remember, once more, that cross In
the square at the top votes the whole ticket
| without change

ed by the stereopticon, will prove OF rar'
interest, especially to all students of an
cient and sacred history.
Great excitement was caused Tuesda,
by the action of the selectmen in building
the pest house on the town farm. 1t wa
not a matter of having the building on tn
farm so much as 1t was the location whicl
the neighbors objected to. They turneI
out and waited on all the lawyers, doctor
and other professional men in town, in
Guiding Justice Newton, who was calle
upon TO read the law. The matter wa
! finally settled that the building should b
erected Just above the woods in the rea
of the cemetery. Carpenters were at ono
nut TO work and the building is now nearl
, completed and will contain three or fou
rooms.
