The schools of our town are liable TO
receive their full share of attention at
the annual meetings. This year they
divided attention with the highways
and a change in the superintendency
was brought about i'll each. Whether
these changes will be beneficial or the
contrary time alone can tell. While the
management of neither was entirely
without mistakes it seems to us they
were generally effective and creditable.
Mr.. Gilman as road commissioners was
particularly effective III the streets and
walks in the village portion of our town,
and his course was economical through
out, saving much money by prudent
management. In many of the outlying
districts the people were down on him
hard. 1t is possible he did not rely
enough upon his agents in these places
and the change from the highway sur

railroad men could not stand such a
even let it take the usual course of being
referred to committee but they were de-

to the committee on taxation. Two
Somerset members, Merrill of SkoWhe-

this debate, beth in favor of reference to
order Macomber of Augusta submitted
an order looking to the opening of the

this if anything is done, the legislature
will not open up the whole question as
contemplated 10y the Macomber order.
