of New Castle on Saturday held an
election for Trustee of the Commons.
but failed to elect as no candidate re-
ceived a majority of the votes cast.
The vote was John y. Taylor. 200:
Mahlon *. Lancaster, 1l5; George
Peirce, SO. There were ten ballots
thrown out because IN each instance
two ballots We're voted instead OF one.
They were Taylor votes, and the mis-
take on the part Of the voters caused
his defeat as that number would have
elected him. Echoes OF the recent IL
cense campaign were heard in the con-
test II is alleged that some illegal
votes were cast and that az the next
election a closer watch win be kept
on the voters.
Board Of Trade Meeting
Every member Of the Board OF Trade
Is requested TO be present Tonight at
the meeting. Some important matters
are to be considered. There Is a rumor
lanoat that another industry Is 20 be
lgotten. but the committee on new in
ldustries refuse to divulge any particu-
lars. The committee on legislation Is
lexpected 20 have some interesting mat
ters TO discuss. In the great chain OF
Inland waterways New Castle. with It's
lharbor open the year round, Is an Inn
lportant link. When the canal Is OPEN
ed then the big freight vessels can
come direct here and provide the car
goes for points along the waterway
The fact that the present post office
Is Inadequate to the demands or
thriving city means that legislation for
a post Office building is needed. When
the inland waterways became genu-
inc certainty then the customs officers
will need an Office here and the place
TO have IT win be in the post office
building. To start certain matters a
banquet may be necessary and such
suggestion win be acted on at the
meeting this evening
