 The business was started by Angus tus w. Wright moving that committee of three be appointed to nominate a ticket. It was carried unanimously and the chair was directed to appoint the committee.

 For warden, John Parker; burgess, Frank J. Mansfield, Joel M Bradley, Giles w. Clark, Augustus w. Wright, Willett H. Kellogg, George M. McKen- zie; clerk, Charles F. Bray; treasurer Orton A. Rose; assessors, c. w. Hem ingway, Asa l.. Chamberlain, Fred H. Hemingway; collector, Lewis A. T. Blake; bailiff, c, N Mack.
