Now that election is over and the re- joicing and mourning is nearly over, and, by the way, Wallingford seems to furnish about the only food that can be relished by democrats, it is we'll to look back and note the changes that have been introduced this year which show that the expenses of election are much larger this year than any year heretofore. The bill for expenses in the Yalesville voting district foots up to $62.50 while in the first voting district. Wallingford Center, the bill is over $75. At the polls there were seventeen who had to be paid by the town, while in Meriden the same duties were perform ed by nine The extra expense entailed each year by voting on the license ques- tion is waste of money and could cas- fly be dispensed with, as the majority for license, nearly 400, shows that thaJ question is not a debatable one, and there is no use of having it brought up every year. The women's voting amounts to nothing and makes another useless expense, as they can only vote for a school visitor and their votes do not change the result as both of the nominees are elected anyway. There is probability that another year the matter of expense will be looked after more carefully than it has been this year.
