ANNUAL CORPORATION MEETING.
Great Variety Of Articles to Be Acted
Upon Next Monday Evening-Two
Tickets Of Officials

The warning for the annual meeting Of
the village corporation next Monday
evening has been posted, and among the
other articles of interest are the ques-
lions of employing a permanent night
policeman; the paving of the street and
sidewalks from the bridge over the canal
to the railroad station; the meter rates
for water; whether to continue the Aus
tralian system of voting; the appropriate
ing of 800 for clerical work in doing the
corporation business the coming year;
whether the dam at Mnard's pond shall
be raised to provide greater storage
capacity for the water supply; whether
5000 will be appropriated for the pur-
chase of anti-toXin. These questions are
all i'm addition to the usual routine arti-
cles of expenses and the raising of money
for ordinary purposes and paying any
of the village Indebtedness. The official
ballots for officers have Deen printed to
be used at the election, by the Australian
system of voting, this year for the first
time. There are two lists one denom-
mated the Citizens " ticket and the
other the independent" the differences
being as follows: In the board of bailiffs
the Citizens ticket is Daniel H. Cray
Edward Barry and a. l.. Field the two
first being last years officials The In
dependent list is G. II. Shepardson. A. L.
Field and DIR. j. f. O'Bren. on the
list of water commissioners the Citizens
ticket is II. w. Keene, +. n. Young and
Arthur Coolidge. The other is the same
except that c. f. Moore's name is sub
stituted for f. n. Young. For tax col
lector the Citizens ticket has the name
of j. w. Buemond, while the other names
II. j. Mcdonald. With these exceptions
the two tickets are identical. 1t is prob
able the question of personal feeling is
more the cause of the two tickets than
any well-grounded objections to either
set of officials.

Embroidered and fancy collars rep
resent such multiplicity of style one
scarcely knows where to touch the
fingers while making selection. The
smartest of them are made OF lace
embroidered or of Louis XVI. en-
broideries in soft linen. Then there
are deep lace collars embroidered
with small coloredS floral effects in
black chenille and gold thread. which
brighten up black taffeta bodice
wonderfully. Narrow silk ties with
lace ends outlined with narrow sill
yer Russian cord are pretty. and
these display three or more silver
tiny cord buttons on the mitered ends.
The lawn embroidered cravats look
well on pink and blue bodices, and
there are collar and cuff sets made of
fine lace insertion trimmed with white
silk soutache.
