The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-02-18

who asked for Information usually
 obtained it only in a fragmentary and
 incomplete way whereas the whole
 situation should have been set forth
 comprehensively and understandings
 ly. Furthermore the board should
 volunteer this Information instead of
 waiting to have it extracted from
 them piecemeaL It is probable that
 such a statement will show that the
 present rate of twelve mills will be
 insufficient to raise enough revenue
 to meet the requisite expenditures
 for next year even without making
 provision for the $1,o0O which the
 town undertook some years ago to raise annually towards reducing its
 funded indebtedness. A preliminary

 The legislative hearing on the bill
 requiring that 8 voting place be pro : vided in Georgetown for all elections which was to have been held yestsr~ day, has again been postponed i'm dropped altogether.

 business transacted was the selection fly made choice of George Wright of Amherst, Mass, as county agent. MT. Wright is a graduate of an, agric41l- turaI college and has had practical experience as the superintendent of large farms. He will enter upon the
 duties of his new position next week under the general supervision of the executive committee: Considerable remains to be done inthe way of se- curing the necessary financial support for the project as g. whole but as- Issura.nces so far received in this re- spect were deemed sufficiently encour- aging to warrant the action taken. Locally nothing has yet been accom- p1ished in this direction, but every lone will be given a chance to aid in the good work as Mr.. Grouse is
 planning for a general meeting to be held probably in grange hall. at which the objects and prospective benefits of the bureau will be set forth and Isubscription towards its support solicited. Naturally those comnluni- ties which fail to extend a reason able degree Of financial assistance cannot make claim to a full share of
