THE TOWN MEETING,

ihh ipNN
The annual meeting for the town
business was called to order at one
o clock. The report of the clerk showed
the finances of the township to be in
excellent condition. The total amount
on hand is S2,S4l06, of which 81 sos. 10 is
in the contingent fund, S2292 % in the
dog fund and SS0366 is due to the vari-
Gus school districts. The outstanding
claims against the township are 81 ,45O of
railroad bond and interest and S275 out
standing orders, leaving the balance of
S35540 in the contingent fund above all
obligations. The highway fund was
overdrawn S235.94 in 1898 and S231 Is in
1899, making deficit in this fund of
S46712, which has been paid out of other
funds.
After a great deal of discussion and
some efforts to get money appropriated
for particular highways, 81 800 was voted
for general highway purposes, to be used
first: to make up the above deficit; Sec
ond: for highway purposes in the discre-
ton of the highway commissioner.
On motion of L. j. Cavanaugh, the
township board was instructed to take
into consideration the matter of provid-
ing a suitable place for holding cleo
tions and township meetings and report
to the next township meeting
A woodchuck bounty of 10 cents was
voted. Will Mower didn't object to the
the bounty il the 'chuchs were all killed
in this township, but he didn't want
Paw Paw to pay for cleaning them out
of the whole county. Edison Woodman
thought every man ought to kill his own
woodchucks.
Following overseers of highways we're
elected:

Ihe result OF the election in Paw Paw
township was somewhat mixed.
After the caucus, the republican party
went into the fight with a vim and
energy that betokened victory. On
Thursday, the candidate for supervisor,
Charles u. Davis, withdrew from the
ticket, that move taking all the heart
out OF the republican workers The COM
mittee promptly substituted the name of
Joseph f.. Packer, a straight republican
and capable man, who accepted the
nomination from a sense of party duty.
and was entitled to much more hearty
support than he received.
The result of the voting revealed one
thing, and that is that the republican
party yet have safe majority in the
township on strictly party vote, and
will be In line as usual in the fall cleo
tons. Another thing worthy of note is
that in this election, as in the corpora
ton election, the cutting of their ticket
by the republicans Injured to the great
disadvantage of the ticket. The repub-
licans of Paw Paw should get together,
lay aside their factional differences and
personal animosities, and vote the re-
publican ticket as it comes from the
caucus, which is the proper place for the
settling of the question of who is entitled
to republican support.
There was no excuse except republi-
can cutting for the election of a single
sllverlte in this township Monday, but
altogether the result is satisfactory
one, under all the circumstances.
In the first precinct, 415 votes were
cast, of which log were straight republi-
can, 50 straight silver and 2lS splits. In
the second precinct, 274 votes were cast,
OF which 54 were straight republican, SO
straight silver and 1872 splits. The total
vote of the township, $50, was large for
spring election. Following is the vote
in de,ail, republican candidates being
first named:
