For the principal place on the
ticket, selectman for three years, thu
candidates, George B. yelling ant
Walter r. White are both of Nortl
bennington. The supporters o
yelling contend that he is best fitted
to succeed the late Charles II. Hough
ton as clerk of the board and to lool
after the bookkeeping and financial
interests Of the town. Friends of Mr.
White declare him close manager o
his own affairs and argue that he vii
apply the same principles 10 tow
business.
The town report was issued from
the Office OF Perry & Keeseman Satur
day afternoon and the meat OF the re
port was printed in the Banner Sat
urday. The town finances are I'm gool
condition but with the cost OF tn,
quadrennial appraisal which came
last year the new bridge on Nil
street and the increased library appro
priation there was no money for deb
reduction. II the town pays It's deb
II must first raise the money.
The change In the state law tw'
years ago took away from the town u
cense money amounting to $500 IN
nually and as there has been no In
crease OF tax rate the town board ha
had that much less money to do bus
mess with. The village now gets
part Of the license money instead o
the town and consequently the vlllag
has more money to use and the tow
less.
There is a warm contest In the rul
al districts for road commissioner
and probably no likelihood OF IN
town voting to return 10 one commits
sloner or to put the business into tn
hands OF the selectmen either q
which plans would seem to the vi
lage voters to be great improve
ment
