No special interest is yet manifest in the
town meeting tomorrow. Indications are
that many of the officers will be reelected
for the coming year as they have served
the town we'll in the past year and are
fitted by past experience. Several names
have been mentioned for treasurer to take
the place of the late H. G. Pierce, but no
candidate seems far in the lead OF the
others.
Complaint has been made to the Mon
IToR that waste paper and other rubbish
has been dumped on the ice or upon the
shores of Crystal lake and blown over
large territory. This is wrong. 1t not
only mars the beauty of the lake but con-
teammates the water and when the Ice
melts in the spring will clog outlet strain
ers. Paper and all kinds of rubbish that
will burn should be burned. Let everyone
be careful about scattering paper and rub
bish on the streets. 1t makes great dill
ference in the appearance Of town.
