Cd Owen has purchased the Ira
Wyman land, between the High ST.

office section of the village, while they
will be but a few minutes walk from
the depot and business places at the
upper end of the town. Parties are
already negotia ting for lots and there
will, doubtless, be considerable build

give opportunity for several who have
been trying to buy lots to find very
pleasant and desirable locations, while
it will help the growth of the village.

Baldwin chosen as moderator The
published report of the village audit

Collision and E. F. Dutton were elect
ed trustees. There seemed to be some
desire to contest Mr.. Collisions cleo

way of doing. This village is not big
enough to divide up locally. Horace

V. Joslyn, collector; w. W. Miles,
attorney; J. N. Webster, g. G. Grow
