NEW CASTLE, Nov. 5.-The 1rus-
tees OF the Commons at their meeting
last night passed resolution increas-
ing the rents of the farms 81 an acre,
This action has been contemplated for
some time. The tenants for years have
been getting the honey as well as but
ter or their bread, or in other words,
the trustees have to pay for every im-
provement on the farms and about the
buildings. 1t used to be the custom TO
put in posts. erect fences and cut hedges
without charge to the trustees, but that
days is gone, and the tenants now want
pay for every little turn they do.
Treasurer McGrory reported having
received from George NJ. Blackburn
5000, and $500 from Abraham Ingram
ON account Of rent. The balance IN
treasury is S23OO06.
When the acting committee presented
its report on the farms the trustees dis
cussed the several matters at length and
as each member talked freely the
meeting was considered as an executive
one.
