A BIT OF TOWN POLITICS.
The Present Board of Selectmen Likely
to Be Renominated-A Carriage
Accidental New Germicide.

Every indication points to the unop-
posed denomination of the present board
of selectmen in the republican caucuses
for the ensuing year, but there are
equally strong indications that Messrs.
Hakes and Hull will not receive the
hearty assent OF the republican voters
Of the town at the polls. Rumors have
been af1oat several days that there is
to be an independent ticket placed in
the field at the annual meeting with the
names of Augustus G. Molt and Fred
w. Moore upon 1t as candidates for Sc
lectmen. Just who the third candidate
Is, the Spy man was unable to learn
but it is surmised that the name of c. b.
Perry may appear in connection with
the new ticket. 1t is understood that
the democrats will support the citizens
ticket.
A member of the republican town
committee said to a Spy reporter few
Gays ago, that the sentiment of the COM
m1ttee is in favor of the denomination
OF the present board of selectmen, be-
cause they are thoroughly acquainted
with the steps that have been taken
with regard to the Worcester sewage
nuisance.
The fight for selectmen is by no
~seiAS tliC OAiS ElIuSSIS dBIlClpdleu, as
IL IS understood that c. B. Perry will
seek to receive the nomination on the
democratic ticket for school committee.
Another movement is on foot to run
Sim King as moderator at the town
meeting, in place of Charles B. Perry,
who has been elected to the position for
several successive years without opposi-
ton.
D. Edmund March will probably re-
celve the nomination for school commit
tee at the republican caucus. Mr..
March has served as a member of the
school board for several years, and his
reelection is considered a sure thing.
A carriage belonging to Charles
Brough of Wilkinsonville came to grief
near the town hall square Sunday morn
ing. The wheels were caught in the
car tracks, and, as the driver tried to
turn out in the face of an approaching
car, both the front and rear wheels
were broken. The occupants were I'M
harmed and returned home on the Il
o'clock car over the valley road.
At meeting of the board Of health
held recently it was decided to use for
maldehyde in fumigating houses. The
members of the board claim that the
sulphur fumes are not strong enough to
kill the germs. F'ormaldehyde is a va
por obtained from wood alcohol and is
