S0,664 IS DUE THE TOWN
Worl8men Have Fingers Crushed While Loading Rails on Car ! Bohan-Reynolds Nuptials-Grange
 Officers Installed.

The second session of the annual the town hall and when Colonel Charles M. Jarvis called the gather ing to order, sixteen citizens were |present. Tis assembly was a runover from the meeting and was called to receive a report from the finance board concerning the collection of back taxes. Francis Shaw, the town clerk, read the minutes of the pre- -vious meeting relating to the ques- lion for discussion.
 Francis Deming, chairman of the finance. board, then reported for that body The committee had made careful inspection of all tax lists from 1888 until 1914 and found there was still due the town from that source $6,684.46. The report was carefully tabulated and contains the names of the delinquents, the year of their failure to pay and the amount due. : The tax is question is the uncollected property tax and, according to the report, there are 250 individuals liable for different amounts. The amounts vary from $22.46 in 1888 to $1,452.59 In 1913. The question was here raised as to whether any of the bills were outlawed but MT. Deming replied that according to law, a bill against Hened property can never be outlaWed and the reports of the various tax-collec |. tors show that liens have been placed Oil all property on which the tax has not been collected.
 Chairman Jarvis then asked the inancc board if it had any suggestion to make regarding the collecting of the taxes. Claude Stevens in reply to Colonel Jarvis, presented the fol- lowing resolution: Resolved: That the present tax collector be and he Is hereby instructed to secure at once all rate books from former tax col Iectors and proceed to collect II such unpaid taxes as appear in thc rate books of said former taX-collectors according to provision of Charter 27, Public Acts of 1915. Compensation for collecting unpaid taxes in all lists previous to 1914 shall be five per cent on the amount collected-'' D Chapter 27, which is referred to in the resolution, gives a tax-collector power to collect such taxes and pro- vfdes ways and means for so doing.
 When asked by a citizen why the compensation was fixed at five per cent, Major Wilcox said that matter had been discussed and this amount would not be equal to the interest due on the unpaid taxes and for that req son he thought ''the laborer should be worthy of his hire" and the com

OPPOSES ENLISTMENT
OF HIS TELEGRAPHERS
Clarence n. Makay Says They Are
Needed More as Operators Dur
ing War Time.

NEW YORK, June 21.-In a letter to
a recruiting officer for the Plattsburg
military training camps, Clarence H.
Mackay, president of the Postal Tele-
graph Cable. Company. declared that
from national point of view it is a
mistake for a telegraph company to
have its operators prepare for and en-
list in the regular army instead of
serving their country in the capacity
for which they are peculiarly fitted.
The company had been asked to grant
to some of its operators a four weeks
leave of absence, to attend the Platts-
burg camps. In his reply, made public
today, Mr.. Mackay wrote:
1t may not have occurred to you
that telegraph operators are needed in
time of war far more as telegraph
operators than as soldiers or officers.
The attendance of these operators at
the camp of Platts burg would not aid
the nation anywhere near SO much as
to have them available for telegraph
purposes in case OF war"
To empha size his assertion, Mr..
Mackay pointed to the action of the
British government in declining to en-
list cable operators. He added that
he was bly, informed that the late
Gen. Kitchener, British secretary of
state for war. had impressed telegraph
operators from the government tele-
graph offices at the outbreak of the
European war, when he did not have
enough operators for war purposes
