objection, the meeting was opened in due form, by the president, Mir. Charles X. Beaujon, who pounded for order and commanded that the roll be called, which showed that all present were there and eager for the fray. The min utes of the previous meeting were read by the town clerk, Mir. Allyn Fuller, (married, with the necessary errors or omissions, after which the Opening 1 Ode was sung to the tune the old COW died on, by ex-Mayor Rowe, accom-. panied by Will Bee.bee on bee-flat hornet The chair then asked for any kind of a resolution or motion.
 MT. Judge Whittlesey got up and made motion "that we do now ad- journ, as 1t is too blamed hot to do bus l mess. "
 MT. Rob. Peirce, Candidate for first selectman,) got up and opposed the motion, on the ground that 'it is too blamed hot to adjourn" As the motion was not seconded, the chair declared it tie between Messrs. Whitttlesey and Peirce, and called for the "neXt case. ["
 MT. Charles s. Smith, Candidate for | first selectman, moved that commit 1 tee be appointed by the chair, to wait upon the town authorities. after elec- tion, and put up holler for larger town appropriation for oil for the streets, also for the construction of the protected crosswalks from the Hotel Canfield to the railroad station plat form, and other places where they are needed, and for the procuring of gar. | bage cans to be distributed at various street corners and public places where 1 they will do the most good. The mo- tion was seconded by First Selectman Reel, Candidate for retirement,) and unanimously passed.
 Norm. Moore, Candidates for various offices, moved that committee be ap pointed to wait on the registrars of voters and demand that the "billy.cop" at Main and Railroad streets be made a voter.
 Judge Ford jumped up and offered to read chapter of the Statutes to show that it couldn't be did. Besides, " said the Judge, "Who knows what its politics are, or is, or would be?
 It works the holdup game on repub. licans, democrats, progressives, pro- hibitionists-
 "Wa'al," !" said the fat member, butt ing in, "then 'cordin' t my notion. if it holds up ev'rybody, an gifts away with it, they must be some pol l'tician blood in it, an it ort t be lowed [ vote, Any how, it ort t be lowed t have tn floor oncet in while, fir even if it hain't got no brains, an can't talk, it'd be jest as eddifyin' as some that does.
 Meaning who ?" asked Judge Ford, bristling ID.
 "Oh, meanin' some fellow over in York State, on the Hutson River, where they git out on raft an dance fir cells, as Milt Roraback used t say" replied the fat member, putting m a fresh chaw.
 The motion of MT. Moore was sec. onded by Mayor J. c. Roraback, and failed to pass.
 MT. Con Hitchcock got up. Mir. President" " said he, ''It appears that l was mistaken last week, when l stated that the wedding epidemic was run ming on a two.weeks schedule-unleSs
  revised the timetable. According to the two-weeks schedule there was no wedding due until the fourth week in the month-it's against the rules of the Club. It is going to be difficult to keep up this new ore-week schedule unless some of the prospectives get n hustle on, and it seems to me it is up to Brother Howe to explain his con. duct.
 MT. Howe got up and said he had no explanations or apologies to offer-he hadn't done anything that he wouldn't be perfectly willing tn do again, and that closed the incident.
 While we are on this subject" pur- sued Judge Ford, II would like 10 ob. serve few observations on the subject of cur constabulury. Now, to my ! mind, we have police force which is | the finest, for u town of our size-faith- | full and fearless. But what is the re- ward of their faithfulness and fearless 1 ness? ? We elect constables to perform i certain service for the benefit of the | whole community. If they perform ! that service to the best of their ability | we refuse to employ them any longer. | and try to make life miserable for them. The more faithful and efficient the are. the more enemies they make 1 for themselves. It's just so in other lines of the public service. Take the office of justice of the peace, for ex- ample. I know, from my own per sonal experience, that"
 Move we adjourn!' yelled Dan Sweeney.
 "Whatr' exclaimed the chair. Be | fore any member has had chance to . make the usual well chosen remarks about the Community Christmas ]
