result in a suit being brought against
the town by Town Marshall George
Martin TO secure the payment of 1857
which is due him for the collection of
taxes in 1907.
The trustees neglected to pass an
ordinance providing for the payment
of tax collector, and Jones secured
legal advice that it would be proper
for Martin to present a bill for street
work, even though it had not been
done.
I'VE had to devise some method of
paying a just and honest debt of the
town." said Jones. Trustee Frederick
Crisp, James Tunstead and DIR. T. p.
Ashworth took exception TO the bill
and it was the basis of the attack upon
Jones last night, who says he will not
resign.
Arthur Adams. a prominent citizen.
says that the affair was the effort of
certain tax payers TO destroy conf
dence in Jones, who favored the prof.
ect of raising $3.50 to improve the
local streets.

period at the start. During the day De

lower. final figures on December being
at 113. and on May at 11O3s4l1O1a-
General liquidation was the order IN
corn, and the market was weak. The SELL
ing was based on extremely heavy deliv-
cries yesterday on December contracts
and on the prospect of further liberal de-
liveries today. Cash interests were tree
sellers of the December delivery, which
displayed the greatest weakness. The
range for the current month was between

Colder weather IN the corn belt and an
increase in contract stocks IN store mere
were additional bearish factors. The mar
ket closed weak with prices down sc 70
&c with December at 621s and May at co.'s.
Oats were inclined to be weak owing
to profit taking brought out chiefly by the
break in wheat and corn. Prices closed
