 The chief excitement in town lately was the special meeting last week when the questions were the closing of the southerly part of Mohawk Road, and the Summit Road' on Mohawk moun- tain, and the addition of more room to tne Cornwall Bride school house. After long discussion the closing was voted by 67 to 66 ballots, ill very full meeting and by the suspected use of financial fabrication of the political machinery. It is about time that the Law and Order League if it still exists. or somebody else, found a way to stop the buying of votes at two dollars or SD per ballot. As to misrepresentations, the debate ventilated all abundance of them. It was noticeable that a large number from that part of the town where the improvement of school facili- ties was in question left the hall as soon as the matter of closing little used roads seven miles away was disposed of.
 The addition to the schoolhouse at the Br dge were however voted without dissent as soon as the hired voters had retired and the selectmen and school committee are to proceed to add 20x23 feet of floor space to the building.

system which now furnishes the town
with lights, and which belongs to
private parties
AT special election held a month
or two ago, the voters authorized the
city council to take a plunge into
municipal ownership by purchasing
the electric light system if satisfac-
tory price could be agreed upon. A
board of appraisers was appointed to
fix the price which the city should
pay, but the board cannot agree upon
the price and now is deadlocked.
The board of appraisers is made up
OF Messrs. Ryan, of Sioux Falls: Hol-
den. of Watertown, and Putnam. of
Huron. The latter is civil engineer
whom Ryan and Holden agreed upon
as the third member OF the board
The members of the board have made
written reports TO the city council
Mr.. Ryan, who was selected by the
city, reports the value of the electric
light plant at $4,000. Messrs. Hol-
den and Putnam, while practically
agreeing that $4,000 was a fair
price, fixed $4,000 as the prize
which they thought the city should
pay.
The matter now goes to the voters
for final determination, as il is be-
lieved a special election will be called
and the question submitted TO them
for them TO say whether or not the
city shall pay $4,000 for the system.
