NEW STATUTE
May Have the Effect of crowding Gu,
 Democratic Assessor.


 The democrats of the town of Kill ingly may not have any representative on the board of assessors after the October election for town officials.
 Chaper IT. of the public acts of 1909, an act concerning the election of as- sessors. provides for three assessors in this town, as a town that holds an- nual elections.
 The procedure of such towns will be for each party at the next election to nominte one assessor for one year. one assessor for two years and one for the term of three years. The candidate for one year having the largest number of votes. the candidate nominated for two years having the largest number of votes, and the candidate nominted for term of three years having the larg- est number of votes at the annual town meeting will constitute the board of assessors for the coming year. At the next succeeding annual election each party will nominate one assessor for the term of three years, and the candidate receiving the largest num- Der of votes will be elected The pro- cedure at every succeeding annual election thereafter will be the same under the present statute.
 As each party in the town of Kill ingly will make three nominations for places on the board of assessors. and as only three of the six nominees can be elected, the three receiving the largest number of votes. the chances are, with the heavy majority against the democrats in the town of Killing ly, that all the winning candidates will be republicans.
 The present board has a democratic minority representation of one mem her

To Lay Heavier Rails.

carload of steel rails was unloaded Wednesday and distributed at inter vsls along Main street to be used where the street is to be paved. The rails are much heavier than the old rails and the company is foresighted enough to make the change now when the paving is to be done and thus avoid the contingency of having to tear up the paving in the future to lay heavier rails.
