TOWN MEETING
Much Business Put Over To Ad-
jOurned Meeting Repairing
School Houses Favored.

The annual March meeting yester-
day was one of unusual interest but
some of the important business wat
left over to a nadjourned meeting
to be held at two O'Clock in the
afternoon of June 28 when the
matter of liking tax rates will be
voted on. This was deemed wise a.
it could not be determined under
the new tax law how great the
grand list will be. The question
that aroused the greatest interest,
that of additional school facilities,
will be finally decided at a specia
town meeting to be held at two
O'Clock on Thursday, March 20.
This was made necessary because
the school directors believed the
voters favored the repairing and
enlargement of the Summer street
school buildings rather than the
construction of a new building on
the Howe lot and the warning did
not provide for the appropriation on
money for this purpose.
The school directors were righ
in their judgment of public opinion
because after a long and heated de-
bate the meeting voted that it was
the sense of the meeting that the
repairing and enlargement of the
Summer street school buildings
should be substituted for the propos-
al to build a new school building
on the Howe lot. The spcial meet
ing to be held on March 20 will bt
to see if the town will vote
to make these changes at cost MOI
to exceed $4,000 and purchase the
lot north of the Maple street school
at a cost not to exceed $500.
The sum of $3.50 was voted fol
the observance of Memorial Day.
$500 for the support of the district
nurse and it was voted that it was
the sense of the voters that the
school directors should provide va
cation schools where the delin-
quent pupils might make up THEN
work and be promoted to an adVanc-
ed grade for the coming school year.
On the license question the towI
voted yes, Alb; no, $40; on the
question of fifth class license the
vote was yes, 247, no 450.
All the proposed amendments
to the state constitution were adopt
ed the largest vote on a proposal
being 629 yes and 16 no.
All the town officers were elected
by votes ranging from 729 to 774.
They are: Moderator, John Rickaby

Wilson and His Gihhet.

If there should be any person who
deliberately sets to work to cook up a
panic he will not let President Wilson
know about it, The ways of doing such
things are underground and devious
There may be suspicious: but does
the coming president intend to gibbet
men on suspicious?
The fact is that there is no danger
of such an artificial attempt. Every
one is too much interested in keeping
up the legitimate prosperity of the
country. If any panic, or even suspen.
sion of activity. occurs it will be pro
duced from indications of a disposition
on the part Of congress to make rad
ical and destructive cuts in the tariff
duties The only other thing that can
produce a panic is imitation in bust
ness, which is conspicuously absent
from the situation at present.

Here's the Recall in Operation.

A petition for the recall OF Mayor
Alexander of Los Angeles has been
started. Fred M. c. Choate, former
assistant city prosecutor who was dis
missed from Office. is the head of the
recall movement. An advertisement for
100 men and wom5h to circulate recall
petitions has appeared in the Los An

This is a fair sample of the work

Washington, Feb. 7-Accompanying
report of the commissioners who
have been conducting an examina-

mending routes for the building of
railroads. President Taft on Thursday
sent a message to congress in which
he favored governmental ownership
and private operation of the lines
which may be constructed.
The commission recommends the
construction of two railroads in Alas

inland water ways, the Yukon and the
Kuskokwin rivers. The railroads thus
recommended win constitute two indie

it cannot be accomplished without
providing for the railroads herein
recommended, or some system

President Taft in his message says:
The necessary inference from the en-
tire report is that, in the judgment Of
the commission. its recommendations
can certainty be carried out only if
the government builds or guarantees
the construction cost of the railroads
recommended,
If the government is TO guarantee
the principal and interest of the con

operate the road or should provide
