Town meeting passed off quietly. There
was no contests for any Of the important
offices. The principal change was made
when the town voted to pay the taxes to
town treasurer instead of the collector as
has always been done heretofore This
action of the town was SO far at variance
with the financial views Of A. d. Bragg,
Esq, who has 80 long and faithfully served
US as constable and collector, that he re-
fused to serve longer in that capacity and
Jacob 5. Boyce was elected in his stead.
