.24S VOTERS REGISTER
THE BOOKS FOR THE BOND
ELECTION HAVE CLOSED.

The Election Will Occur Next Tues
day. Bond People Say That the
Bonds Will Garry.
When Clerk Bell closed the city
registration books Saturday night
there we're 248 voters who had quail
flied for the bond election. Three of
this number are negroes.
The article in the last issue of The
News to the effect that only 46 voters
had qualified for the election stirred
up the friends of the bond question,
and they got busy and began regis
tering and inducing their friends to
do so, with the result that 2O2 placed
their names on the registration books
during the past week.
The advocates of bonds now claim
that they have enough names on the
books to carry the election in favor
of bonds if they all go to the polls
To carry the election in favor of the
bonds it is necessary that 1853 vote
for bonds, and to defeat the proposed
issued it is necessary that 81 votes
be cast against bonds, or that those
who vote against the bonds and those
who fail to vote equal that number.
Every voter in favor of bonds who
fails to cast his ballot on election
day is virtually casting his vote
against the proposition, and those
who are opposed to bonds can regis
ter their disapproval by not voting at
all.
Considerable interest has been
manifested the past week, and the
indications now are that the bonds
will carry if a full vote is cast.

PHYSICIANS BILLS
 FOR CARE OF POOR
Amounted to $6o8 for Month of Feb
 ruary.

The physicians bills for the care of the town poor put in to the board of selectmen for the month of February amounted to more than the entire years salary of the newly appointed town physician, who is to do the same work for the town at $50 a month, be- ginning March 1st.
 The total of the bills put in to the town was in the neighborhood of $60s for the shortest month of the year The total paid in 1914 was approxi- mately $230.
