The people of Harris are much inter-
ested I'm trying TO get the people OF the
town of Coventry TO erect a building
that can be used for voting place for
the voters OF District No. 2. and also for
lookup. Buildings of this kind are
found i'm other towns and are of great
convenience. At present the voters Of
No. have TO vote in place hired for
the purpose of a voting place and pay
large rent. Persons who are arrested
have TO be carried one or two miles to
be detained previous to arraignment, at
quite an expense, and the weary tramp
finds not where TO lay his head except
on the soft side of stone doorstep, or
i'm some barn that he is liable to set on
fire before he leaves. District No.
contains taxable property enough TO de-
mand the erection of such building by
the town of Coventry.
