on the two DAYS Of the recent severe "equinoctal

and are maintained in the same manner
For sewers? The writer has had expert
| ence enough in that direction, having
tried two years to have the town place a
! suitable drain for carrying water from
| the cellar only. and on being brought
before the meeting was voted down.
Did the farmers vote in the affirmative
then? A sewer does not have an exist
ence in this town that will fulfil all re-
| quirements of well ordered dwelling
| house.
The question of sewer is a very i'm
portant one, as the villages stand as
great chance of breeding pestilence
from having rlenty of water but no
drainage, as they did before the intro
dt ct on of Sebago, when they used we'll
WAGER more or less polluted.
The writer would like very much to
have division of the town, city char
ter, village corporation, or anything else
that would relieve this unpleasant state
OF things, and hope this matter will be
brought before the people through the
columns OF your paper in the usual fair
and impartial manner with which all
subjects touched upon are treated.
Yours very truly,
H. L. Hannaford.
An examination of the town reports
shows that we were in error in regard to
uaS oliSlO llCAl VI AIO CUSiuCSs IA ppdI-
emily to the present time, the town has
furnished no protection against fire but
hydrants, such apparatus as there is
having been provided by private con-
tributions. But the town has been pay
ing for sewers, and ferry landings, and
street lights, and water. and sidewalks,
just as we said it had. Sewer construc-
tion mas not yet gone far enoughsto sup
ply all the villages with proper drainage,
nor are the street lights so general yet
as they must be eventually. But the
statement remains strictly true that the
farmers ar. paying for all Of these
things and are getting no direct benefit
from them whatever, except in the case
of water, which does give them two or
three watering tronghs for their horses.
Next year they will have to contribute
to the maintenance Of a lot of
school houses which are of no use to
them. If our correspondent has drawn
the inference from our remarks that we
think that the farmers have been abused
by the villagers, he has drawn one that
was not intended. The villagers cannot
be blamed for wanting sewers and
lights any more than the farmers
can be blamed for not wanting to
pay for them. They undoubtedly
need them, and must have them if
life is to be tolerable in their commune
ties. We simply meant to point out that
the conditions of the different sections
of the town had become SO diverse and
SO antagonistic that much of the taxation
has ceased to he for the common bene-
fit. That being the case some new ar
rangement is imperatively demanded.
Such expedients as our correspondent
suggests might improve the situation.
but it seems to US that the only ade-
quate remedy is division of the town.
1t is manifestly impossible for the agri-
cultural sections to bear such an enor-
NOUS rate of taxation as is now inn
posed upon them, unless agriculture
becomes a far more remuneratiye occupa-
ton than it is now. And of that there
is little hope.
