and the books were signed by the asses
sors. The work has been considerably
heavier this year than in former years
because OF the rapid growth OF the town
and the great number OF real estate
transfers which have been made during
the past few months.
The amount OF taxable property Is
somewhat greater this year than last.
This fact is accounted for by the Increased
valuation due to the Improvement OF real
estate throughout the town. Since the
last tax was assessed many substantial
buildings have been erected I'm different
parts OF the town, increasing the amount
OF taxable property by several thousands
OF dollars.
MEETS TONIGHT.
This evening a meeting OF the executive
board OF the Citizens club will be held. IL
is expected that at the meeting COM

taken towards efrecting a fusion between
the two factions for the purpose OF carry
ing the coming election.

This afternoon a special meeting OF the
town council was held In the council
chamber In the town hall. After the meet

at the condition In which they found the
place and satisfaction at the fact that
the town had a modern hospital where
the cases could be cared for at short no
tice in the event OF an outbreak OF the
malady.
THINGS POLITICAL.

made plain their intention OF trying TO
effect a fusion with the Citizens club. or
Good Government organization. This
pit petition does not seem TO be regarded
with disfavor by that organisation and
there is no doubt but what the fusion
will take place.
The Republicans are not saying a great
Gesi at yet. but on their faces In a smile
OF content which is taken to Indicate
that they have no fear as to the result
Of tho coming struggle. II is said that
the usual bane OF the Democratic party.
internal dissention Is smouldering In the
ranks OF their town committee and that
the remainder OF the committee are dis
satisfied with and antasonistic TO two OF
the members OF that body.
a was said iong time ago that the
eight would probably be tho hottest over
the siatc ticket, but II looks as though

concentrate the greater part of their
energy 10 the attempt to overthrow the
present administration.
