But Little Interest in Town Meeting

But Little Interest in Town Meeting.
There is surprisingly little interest
manifest in the annual town meeting
to be held Tuesday. 1t seems probable
that practically all of the town officers
will be reelected if they will allow
their names to be put before the meet
ing. The old board of selectmen, James
o 'Brien, Ezra B. Pike and Walter F.
Fay, is apparently Indifferent as to re
election. These men have made a com
petent board during the past year.
The duties of the board were much
greater than usual for various reasons,
the principal one being that the state
tax commission required a new apprais-
al of all property in town. By this new
appraisal it was required that every
piece of property be assessed at its full
and true value, something that had new
er been done in New Hampshire. To ac-
complish this the selectmen made d
minute inspection of all properties, in
Guiding timber lots. This was a tremen-
dous task and required several weeks of
steady employment. The result, how
ever, justified the effort
Several pieces of property were dis
covered which were not on the inven.
tory books at all and there We're others
principally timber lots, assessed for a
few hundred dollars that were worth as
many thousands. In all the valuation
of the town was increased from $1,746,
368 to $2,149, 493, gain of $4O3, 1875
Of course there were some taxpayers
who felt that they were not treated
fairly, but as a rule the citizens believe
the selectmen used remarkably gooC
judgment

Mental Strain of Driving a Railroad

In the March American Magazine,
Albert w. Atwood writes a most inter-
esting article entitled why Railroad
Wrecks Increase The following is an

lation to the problem:
Dean R. Wood, who takes the
Twentieth Century Limited from, SYRIA

a public hearing what his running time
was between the two points. He replied:
Two hours and forty-two minutes.

Fast and angry came the words

her cousin Arthur, approaching 81.

up. and this being unsuccessful, he
gently leaned over her and, encir-

kiss on the forehead, white as the
lily Of the valley 1t is hard to say
If It was the kiss or the pressure of
the hands on the temple. Perhaps
the kiss was too long, but Arthur
could not duplicate it, for Edith
stood up, her cheeks and forehead
covered with indignation.
