STAFFORD SPRINGS

w. R. c. meeting next Wednesday,
 Regular meeting of Wm. Horton Camp Sons of Veterans this evening.
 Bartholomew Mullins, who was re- gently operated upon for appendicitis in Hartford, spent Sunday here.
 The Independents of this place, a very recently organized aggregation of basketball | players, opposed a team known as the Indian Orchard Social Center, in Indian Orchard Saturday evening and from all reports the Orchard dwellers had to travel some | efore they were able to bring a de- 1 feat of AZ to 37 on the Stafford lads When it is taken into consideration l that this was the first time the players who made up the Independent team | worked together it seems quite prob | able that with some practice they will make team to be respected. A good many of the Indian Orchard people feel that way toward the team already. Dupre and Bernardo were the heavy hitters with regard to hitting the iron ring. They boosted the score not a little. Pallank in the short while he played made a favorable impression on the spectators through his clever and efficient passwork. The two lads who worked in the back court were kept very busy at all times but they filled their positions in fine manner and made their opponents fight for every counter. Kuslansky, who has re- trained from playing basketball fCr the past year or more, played part of this game as a forward and the re- hot %o IoI 4< the score. Summary:

The borough election on Monday, on account of only one ticket, the one nominated at the citizens caucus, being in the field, was attended by a very small number of the voters Only 54 ballots were cast, seven of these were thrown out. The following is the ticket elected with number of votes counted for each candidate: Warden, James Sheppard, Jr., 45; burgesses for two years, A. D. Bernardo, 43, D. D.. Mitchell, A, c. B. Tschummi A; clerk and treasurer, c. H. Moore, A; tax collector, P. J. Murray, 45; bailiff, Thomas Hayes, 45; assessors, H. O. Butterfeld, 43, R. w. Ellis, A, c. P. Hodgson, A; board of relief, G. l.. Dennis, 45, F. M. Barrett, A, G. J. Frazier, A; registrars of voters, George Siswick, 45, P. J. Murray, 45. The burgesses holding over are John Quinn, Sr., A. w. Kingsbury and Han nibal Alden. The officers elected were nearly all re-elections with the ex- ception of the burgesses and R. w. Ellis on the board of assessors in
 place of F. M. Barrett, who was cleo
 ted on the board of relief in the place of Anthony Adams. At the business meeting held following the close of the
 polls there were only IS voters pres
 ent Burgess Hannibal Alden pre- sided in the absence of the warden and
 other members of the board. It was
 voted to lay the usual mill tax. The
 borough report, read by clerk c. H. Moore, was accepted.
 The borough report shows that the
 borough debt of $15,000, less the
 assets of $6,370.86 shows an increase
 of the net borough debt from $8,472.22
 to $S,629.14, an increase of $156.92 The water for the hydrants has been paid for to January 1st next. If this
 bill had been paid only to October
 1st, the end of the fiscal year, the same
 as last year, the report would have
 shown a decrease of the net debt. The
 assets were increased $1,000 by the purchase of the road roller. The re-
 ceipts for the past year were as fol lows:
 Cash, Oct. 1, 1918, $1,559.71
 From taxes, 11,731.94
