music, Each of us was asked to sug.

might improvise. Finally she turned

RESULT DEPENDS
ON LEGAL POINT

There was but one ticket 10 the field
for village officers in Hartford this year.
A large vote was poled however on ac-
count of the Electric Light Franchise
and the Water Bonding proposition.
The former carried by a safe majority,
but the bonding question is yet in doubt
and a nice legal point is raised in de-
termining the result OF the ballot. 1t
requires three-ffth majority to carry a
bonding question, and strange to say the
question was apparently carried by the
exact three fifths of the total vote as
counted. Several ballots however, were
thrown out on account Of having been
incorrectly marked, and now the ques'
ton arises, whether or not the statute
contemplates three-fiiths vote of the
nctual votes counted or three fifths OF al
the votes cast, whether counted or not
The question has been referred to the
Attorney General for ruling.

Information regarding the number of
sparrows brought into the clerks offices

as heavy, but it can safely be estimated
that $1,000 of these little pests have

estimate Of the percentage OF the crop
to 90 in each grade and the grower to be
informed as to the amount of eacn
package TO be procured. Also instruc-
tions as 70 picking and packing to be
given. The matter of field packing was
brought up and it was decided to pack
nothing but fruit which had been picked
a sufficient time to wilt the stem and
cause the bunch to become pliable so as
to pack a solid basket of fruit that
would not settle and would not crack
the grapes at the union of the stem by
twisting or pressure in packing.
The bulk could be packed in the
fields ano it was the opinion OF most OF
the growers that the better and cheaper
way was to pick only the best fruit while
working on the s pound grade and leave
the bulk to be cleaned up at such time
as the best market conditions on this
grade would indicate.
About twenty of the growers present
agreed to the plan and will ship this
season. Many others have the matter
under serious consideration and arrange
ments will be made on baskets and

that any organization of individuals who
