CItizans Are Quite Negligent
About Registering for tho
Fall Election. MANY Visitors.

The change in the time for registration
has caused many citizens to be dilatory
and negligent I'm attending TO this most
important duty, but there yet remains
several weeks TO visit the town clerk TO
have their duty incumbent on every ciu-
zen fulfilled Not only should those
who do not own property register with
the town clerk, but also those who own
property There is always existing that
contingency by which A citizen may
lose his property or perhaps. as In case
of personal property owners, the ooard
OF assessors may refuse TO assess tax
against them. No such chances should
be taken on the part OF the voters, but

without properly, registration should be
a means of providing against such con-
tinguency.
