New Plymouth is in flourishing
condition. The outlook for a prosper
GUS year with big fruit crop is very
good. The people have recovered to
some extent from their tax troubles,
but they will insist upon strict econ
omy in county and state government
in the future. The taxation league is
arousing great interest in matters of
county and state government.
