Tammany Hall and Progressive legisla-
tors. The Progressives who bolted were
Dunlop, Fish. Garrison, Ittleman. Karpen.

SPECIAL TOWN MEETING.

The special town meeting was called
to order by Moderator James B. Dono-
way at 10 O'Clock Tuesday forenoon
with Joseph NJ. Burke as clerk. There
were II voters of the town present.
The purpose of the meeting, as set
forth in the warning issued by the
selectmen a couple Of weeks ago, was
to see if the town would vote to sell the
house and land on South Main street
which came into its possession by deed
upon the death of William H. Kins-
ley few months ago, and if so, to ap-
point an agent or agents to make the
sale and effect the transfer of the prop
erty Clerk Burke read the call.
Ira H. LaFleur moved that the board
of selectmen be authorized and empow-
cred to sell the property at public auc-
tion at such time within the town 5
fiscal year as they should deem best.
A ". Dickens moved an amendment to
the effect that the selectmen should
have the power to sell at private sale,
as well as at auction, if they saw fit.
Mr.. LaFIeur declined to accept the
amendment. He stated that an offer
of $500 had already been made for the
premises and he believed the whole
public ought to have chance to make
bid, saying that he desired to put in
such bid himself and he cited several
instances wherein valuable property
had been recently sold at private sale
in Middlebury, which property had been
resold within a few weeks at consid-
cradle rise the advance in one case
having been $500 After two attempts
at viva voce vote on the proposed
amendment. Moderator Donoway or
dered a rising vote, which resulted in
3 for the amendment and against. so
that the amendment was lost. The
main question was then put and the
selectmen were given the authority to
make the sale, with no contrary votes
On motion of Mr.. LaFleur the select
men were then appointed agents to exc
ecute the necessary deeds for the trans
fer of the property. and at l0:l5 O clock
the meeting adjourned without date.

the same along modern lines. Mr.. and
Mrs. Dyer have been employed for
years in the store of Beckwith & Co.

tion records an important change in
Addison county business life. as for
nearly 100 years the name of Beckwith
has been prominent among the people
of Addison county. The firm of Beck
with & Co.. comprising B. S. Beckwith
and Garder S. Wainwright, began busi-
ness in Middlebury in 1927 and con-
tinued until the death of Mr. Beckwith

Beckwith, took up his interests. In
1907 Mr.. Wainwright, owing to i'll
health, retired from the business.
