The town politics pot Is apparently not
even sim nering "a vet. The present I'M
cumbents OF the several offices, IL Is
understood. are willing TO accept re-
election. IL any candidates for any
Office. outside Of thst list, have been
mentioned, the Democrat has not heard
OF Il. There Is 8 feeling with some,
which hiss found expression, that three
road commissioners would be better than
one, in a town OF this size. In the mat
ter OF appropriations, the only thing In
the warrant which will involve any COZ
siderable expenditure outside OF the ordi-
nsry, i the question OF the Mountain
school house. Since the districts we're
abolished, - lot OF new school houses
have been built. SO that the Mountain
house Is the only one now rem aiming
that ia unfit for use. IL new house IL
built there IL should be quite a number
of wears before there will be call for
sny more new houses. IL Is well TO
bear 10 mind, when We are making our
appropriations, that there still remains
$1,000 OF the amount appropriated In
1897 for neS school houses, TO be assess
ed this year.
