Following considerable discussion the
foregoing resolution was accepted and
adopted, and Messrs. Cane. Pomeroy.
Bartlett and Bosworth were elected a
committee to act with the selectmen in
the matter.
This action practically disposed of
articles and , in the Warning, and
article 3 was passed over.
1t was then voted that the selectmen
and above named committee offer in be-
half of the town $4,000 to .he Island
Pond Water Co. for their plant, and as
the voters were in no humor for further
delay or the converting of extra meet
ings, the committee were instructed to
take immediate action and report at 2
o'clock, to which time the meeting was
adjourned,
Upon reassembling in the afternoon
the following report was submitted:
The selectmen together with your
committee met by appointment the
agent of the Water Co., Mr.. Tinker, and
in answer to the question as to price he
replied that he was not in a position to
answer that question. He thought,
however, that the Company would stand
by their first proposition as to hydrants,
namely that the price would be SIS
each, for not less than 30; the water
rate for domestic purposes to be gov
erned by the acts of the charter. Fur
Their if the Company and the selectmen
were unable to agree upon rates the mat
ter should be left for settlement by
disinterested parties to be chosen by the
company and selectmen.
The committee added to their report
recommendation that in view of the
disposition shown by Mr.. Tinker to
meet the wants of the town in the mat
ter of fire protection they (the commit
tee) would recommend that the matter
of town ownership be dropped for the
present, and allow the Water Co. to
proceed with their plans.
The report was accepted and adopted
and the recommendation agreed to.
On motion the resolution presented
by Mr.. Bartlett was reconsidered, and all
rescinded save the sentence "They make
a satisfactory arrangement for an eff.
cient supply of hydrants and water fol
fire purposes"
Article 4 was passed over, aud no fur
ther business appearing motion to ad

declared tie meeting adjourned without

Show Your Liberality and
ENTERPRISE.

A plan is now under way i'll Island
Pond that if successful will give the vii
lage an Institution that will be an inn
mense power for good The scheme is
not vet perfected in all its details, but
the HERALD can give an outline. 1t is
proposed to erect Railroad Y. NJ c. A,
building at a cost of about $1,000, of all
nrSiern conveniences. TO contain sleep
ing rooms, bath rooms, library, reading
rooms, lounging room, gymnasium.
emergency hospital, etc, etc. This will
be a reality if our people will be liberal
and enterprising. Island Pond is asked
to contribute towards this building only
$500, and already the larger part OF
this sum has been pledged. Mr.. Hays,
general manager of the e. L. r., in e.
half of the railroad company will give
$500, a lot of land upon which to erect
the building, and will also contribute
800 per month towards its maintenance.

portunity go to some OF Their community
Its advantages are too apparent. But
this is not all. If $1,000 of the $500 is
raised at once, a citizen will present the
town with tower clock. At a meeting
of the Business Mems Association held
Monday it was unanimously resolved
THAT it is the sense of this meeting
that the proposition be accepted and
that this Association take steps to
meet all requirements"
A committee was appointed of S citi-
zens, two from each denomination, for
the purpose of raising the amount re-

for the y. NJ. G. A. building is east of
