There will be something doing tow
meeting day. For that matter, there 81
ways 10. But this year the sewer ques
ton will rage again, and there 10 no rea
SON to doubt, from what has slread!
been said, written and printed, tina
there will be lively time over II.
In the town meeting warrant which u
now posted, there are three articles re-
lating to the sewer question. 1t Il
doubtless remembered by every one
that at the annual meeting last year Il
was voted 10 raise the sum of $500, Il
be assessed at the rate of 500 each yeal
for five years, to extend the South Paril
sewer, and the fee for entering tho sewer
was fixed at twenty-five dollars pei
house, and ten dollars additional fol
each additional tenement. One article 10
the warrant calls for the resembling OF &c
much of this vote as relates to the fixing
of the fee. Another calls for the rescind'
ing of the vote to raise funds for the
sewer. The third article calls for the
expenditure of all the money now ap-
pr0priated for the purpose in one year,
s2l0O OF 1t to be raised by loan, and
assessed as originally voted. The
ground for this move is the economy OF
doing all the work in one job, instead OF
four small ones.

the vote passed at our last annual town meeting,
constructed at South Paris, and make any modi'
dcation thereof.

matters in the warrant which have been
the subjects of any considerable amount
of discussion. The warrant has SO arti.
