 That Town Meeting.
 No little interest is being mani fested about town these days regard ing the adjourned town meeting which will be held next Tuesday eve- ming at o'clock. The board of finance is rapidly completing an item ized statement of the conditions of all former tax books and 1t is expect ed that the bank tax matter will be settled for all time when the gather ing hears the report. It is the feeling of many citizens that this matter has been hanging fire long enough and an effort will be made to have the com ing meeting the last ever held for such a purpose Since last Fall a nep bookkeeping system had been instau- ed and it has met with general ap- proval, so now it seems $ though the town will soon be back on a farm fin ancial basis.
