| public schools.
| Intentions Of the marriage of Edwin
j. Butler of Skowhegan and Miss Mary
1-evassem Of Watervile are recorded
ut the office of the town clerk.
AS each Jay passes the citizens here
| begin to talk about what is to be done
ut the next annual town meeting early
in March. The chief question of in
terest appears to be whether the town
will vote to make Skowhegan city.
Many say it can be no worse to make
Skowhegan a city, as it will at least
make a change in the form of govern
ment. 1t will give each voter a chance
| to have more equal right at the cleo
lions. Many contend that there are so
many voters in town that only the
few. that get there first and stay the
| longest have the chance to say any
thing in the meetings or hardly know
what questions are being discussed.
| There are about 1900 voters in Show
| hogan and the seating capacity of tho
| new City nall is only about 1900. This
| hall is larger than any place where
| the town meetings have been held in
| previous years. The town, whether
| made a city or not, needs to he divided
| into wards or given some other way at
| least Of conducting elections than il
now has, say a great many citizens.
