BAR HARBOR,
ONLY $4,000 INSURANCE.
Ore Policy of $4,000 on Gramma,
School Had Been Surrendered.

The news became common about
noon of yesterday that the s31, 900
worth of insurance which was sup
posed to be the legitimate right of the
city as a result of the fire on the South
Grammar school premises existed in
Imagination. The insurance policies
combined are worth in round figures
of cash but $4,000 as one Of the
rolicies in effect during eX-mIyor's
administration worth $4,000 had been
Icancolled. 1t appears from statements
given out ut the City hall Monday af-
ternoor that Mayor Davis being unable
to find one Of the policies gave a re-
CGpt to an insurance agent which was
a practical surrendering of the policy.
II is exceedingly to be lamented that
the present administration in starting
its machinery is to b. crippled by just
that amount.

TAcoNNET Al; BAR HAReoR 1s.
A cleanly Played Game But Visitors
Somewhat Outciassed.

The Taconnet basketball team added
another to their long list Of victories
by defeating Bar Harbor last evening
in Winslow by score of Al to Is. The
game was interesting and very cleanly
Played. The results were entirely sat
isfactory from Waterville or Winslow
standpoint. but some are beginning to
feel that IL Taconnet would get beaten
once in while the attendance at the
games would be better. The long list
Of almost uninterrupted victories ap-
pears to some to be becoming rather
monotonous.
The Bar Harbor men came to this
city with such firm convictions of win
ring the game that some of the men
actually appeared to feel as if the con-
test would hardly be worth the work of
cfanging from civilian to gymnasium
suits. They went away with feelings

TOWN MEETING.
Large Amount Of Important Business
at the Yearly Gathering.

The Winslow town meeting was held
Monday in the old Town hall and an
nual business of great Importance to
every citizen was transacted in a most
business-like way. AS a result of this
systematic method of doing business
a large amount Of cut and dried mat
ter was rapidly disposed OF during the
afternoon with dispatch that indi-
Gated to an outside observer that the
little community has been wide awake
during the winter months and prepared
to take measures in an intelligent
manner of citizens who realize their
common needs.
The sum of $4,000 for the common
schools alone with 1920 for the Free
High school was appropriated. To the
cause of highways was devoted $4,000
and to the support of the poor, $1,000.
Ihese are some of the most important
whlch can be recalled on the spur of
the moment. Not only this but the
town deot by an appropriation at this
meeting was reduced by $1,000 which
does not include $3.50 also appropriat-
&C for accumulated interest on the
same.
Winslow has reached the close Of a
year of such prosperity as cannot be
boasted OF by very many other towns
IT the State of Maine. The citizens
feel proud Of the fact and they have
right to. Notwithstanding this the
indications of rum and money which
nave been so commonly spoken Of in
Waterville We're entirely lacking. Pea
nuts ani gossip We're the only forms
OF amusement with which the time was
passed which was not taken up wholly

ton with the latter should be mem
toned the dinner which was served by
the Winslow ladies' in token of their
appreciation of the good morals OH
served by their husbands during the
trying vicissitudes of the day. or
course the ladies were rewarded bv n
handsome donation of cash from these

is to be turned over to the common
good.
The meeting was called to order bv
the moderator at 10 o'clock in the
morning and came to a close at about
$50 which office was filled by Charles
H. Drummond. The choice of 1oun

filed the office very successfully for
the past three years and who, for the

ing candidate. The board of select

roor We're reelected in the persons of

The first question to be discussed
was the method Of collecting taxes for
the ensuing year. This was disposed
of Summarily by an adoption of the
previous custom. The total sum raised
in the interests of education including
all of The incidental expenses to be
provided for was $4,000. Included in
this amount is 500 raised to "provide
suitable toilet rooms and connect with
sewerage the HollinSworth & Whitney
High school buildings"
In another year, WinslOw will be
fully equipped with n fire lighting APP
laratus which viii extend an adequate
protection over the entire tnickIy- pop
ulated part Of the town. For this pur-
rose the sum of $3.50 was raised with
V hich to perfect an organized fire de-
iaal trnart With hose house, hose and
tie needed appurtcnances in addition
to the cost If erecting hydrants at
different unprotected places.
To the judgment Of the selectmen
was left the following questions for

pit of some other person and raise a
sum of money for that purpose.

raised in 1905 for repairing the lookup.

There has not been season since the
first fall of snow when the shedding has
been so greatly appreciated as at the
present time Those who can obtain
views from any of the nearby hills can
see streams of hay and wood-laden
teams coursing their way from all di-
rections into Waterville. The difficulty
of such transportation has done more
than any other agency in raising the
price of commodities affected thereby.
