JEWETT CITY
Lively Borough Meeting Votes Total Ar pronriasion of S14,os5--Tox of 5 Mills Lsid-Funerai of Miss Victoria Ether.

The meeting of the freeYnen of the borough held in the Town hall Friday evening was the real thing. There had been two adjournm ents from Jan. 18th and S0th. There were nearly fifty per- sons present Friday, and the gathering at once took on the aspect of the good old town meeting of yore, with every body sitting up and taking notice.
 On account of the finding of 119 yards of rock which had to be blown struction on Slater avenue, there was found to be deficiency in the appro- priation for that work of s475. This matter was presented, discussed and settled, the necessary appropriation being made.
 the list of estimates of costs for the different departments for the year 1911 each item was considered separately. The following sums were voted: Streets S70O, garbage s250, police s650, interest s2,s00, water s1,561, printing $75, fire miscellaneous $35o, insurance $50, clerk and treasurer $165, electric light plant se5. making & total of $14,0S5. From this will be deducted the streets, which will be taken care of by the town, while about $500 on account of bank stock taxes will come from the state.
 After the expression of various views regarding the tax to be laid, some thinking it should be increased this year, , mills was hfinally settled upon and so voted. With sufficient and good reasons at hand, relative to the date when the borough tax is due and col- lectable. that date was changed from March 1st to May 1st.
 The matter of collecting interest on unpaid taxes was laid on the table, as was also the clause in the warning rel ative to the sewer assessment.
 r@A f~ tt1 .1I tric light commissioners to dispose of any part of the contents of the plant not needed by the borough. The two DeiseI oil engines are only valuaiols as old iron, and have been relegated to the srrap heap. The two generators ar. in fairly good shape. and are worth probably S1500.
 A special tax Of enc mill on the dol lar was laid to liquidate as much as possible the note of S2,5oo against the electric light plant, the balance after paying the note 10 go towards the sink ing fund,
