The Citizens Association Of Gravesend has de-
cided to proceed against the Town Board in order
TO clear up the matter OF the waste and improper
expenditure Of the towns moneys. Whether
there has been actual thievng is not yet certain
but there IS no doubt that there has been good

manner in regard TO the Troy assassination as to
disgust every decent man. Instead of granting the

sassns. If the Democratic party ventures to re-
