Light Fine-Two "DrunLs" In the ToiIs--To,yn Wins Point In Suit. Opposition to the plan of keeping f alive the Sanitary and Sewer district, despite the fact that it's business is ractically cleaned up, failed to ma tcrialize at the annual meeting of the voters held last evening in the Town hall and F. T. Wheeler, C. H. Calor and J. T. Mccarthy, comprising the district committee, were reelected to continue in that capacity for another year. The meeting was made neC- CSsary by the bylaws of the district and it proved to be but a formality. The attendance was limited to about a dozen voters and only bus mess of q routine character was trans acted C. IT. Ca1or, the treasurer, re- ported that the committee had com piled with the orders of the voters issued at the last meeting and had paid the bills contracted prior to the rejection of the sewer plan. There is a balance of over $500 in the bank to the districts credit.
 While some members of the forces opposing the sewer project had de- c1ared their intention of refusing to pay the tax levied to free :he dis trict from debt the reports presented last night showed that Collector Hem ingway has succeeded in getting all but s35 due from the taxpayers. Some of the property owners had de-
 aycd for a long time but they finally arrived at the conclusion that a set tlement without litigation would be the most satisfactory.
 Nothing was done at the meeting regarding the bringing up again of the proposed improvement, the advocates seemingly realizing that the time is ! not quite ripe for a favorable vote on the project. They believe, how ever that within a year or two the !, proposition will be better appreciated and will eventually be accepted by the voters.

 Gun Toter Fined.
 Extenuating circumstances in the case of Philip Scoffa, charged with assaulting Antonio Fancella and with carrying concealed weapons, led Jus tice A. IT. Condell to be lenient with the accused when he was arraigncd In court late yesterday afternoon. Tes- timOny showed that the assault was not as brutal an offcnse as early re- ports indicated.
 Fancella himself was inclined to favor the prisoner He explained that he always regarded Scoffa as his friend and did not believe he at tempted to iniure him on the night of March 25th, the date the assault was committed. In the SCuffe which was @ sequel to an argument between the two, Fancella fell and broke his left arm.
 When Scona was arrested Saturday night loaded revolver was found in his hip pocket Testimony made it appear that he did not carry tue weapon regularly and had put 1t in his pocket Saturday for protection, he having been advised that he might be attacked by friends of Eancclla.
 Justice Condel imposed a fine of S7 and costs on each count. The ac- cused settled.
