 There was large attendance at the citizens caucus at the firemen's room last Friday evening to nominate can didates for the borough election to be held December 9th. Judge M. D. IO'Connell was chairman and H. B. Burwell clerk. The following nomi nations were made: Warden, James Sheppard, Jr.; burgesses for two years, A. D. Bernardo, D. D. Mitchell, c. B. Tschummi; clerk and treasurer, c. H. Moore; collector, P. J. Murray; bailiff, T. J. Hayes; assessors, H. o. Butterfeld, R. w. Ellis, c. P. Hodgson; board of relief, G. L. Dennis, F. M. Barrett, G. J. Frazier; registrars, George Siswick, P. J. Murray. George Siswick and Lott O'Halloran were re- elected borough committee. At the close of the caucus Warden Sheppard in a few remarks stated that the highway apportionment from the town of $2800 was not sufficient for the borough needs, and he suggested that steps be taken to do away with the present borough system and con- solidate the town and borough and save the double assessment expenses" While the borough should receive a larger amount from the town for the highway in the borough on account of the increase of the price of labor there are many who would very much dis like to see the borough charter given up.
 The Morse College basketball five went home Friday evening after hay ing 30 to 10 defeat chalked up against them by none other than the Stafford Springs high school team. This makes it seem that the local boys will this year, be we'll able to hold their own and very probably grab some of the other fellows. The crowd that witnessed the game was not large one. This was probably due to the fact that the game was not we'll advertised. Those who were there, however, witnessed game which, though marred by some un- necessary roughness, was real one. Both teams were there to battle, and so they did. This was the first time a Stafford high school team played Morse's, yet anyone could think that they were settling an old grudge. Five personal fouls were called dur
 
 points were made on free tries. Cum mings, who shot the fouls had his eye with him, making 15 of the points for his team. Stafford's boys again showed a lot of endurance for out chasing their opponents in that re- spect, even though every one of the visitors were bigger than anyone on the local team. Cunningham played in the pivot position and found it easy to get the top nearly every time. Three of the local teams subs were tried out but Schrier was the only one | whose work had any effect on the score Though Whitaker tried hard he was able to hit the inside of the hoop only once. Pinto and Morse of the opponents roughed things up bit but not enough to harm the score. Perhaps it is because they have been on the home floor that the local team has two victories to it's credit. The story may be different one when they visit Rockville next Friday even ing for game with that city's high school team. The score: s. H. s. Morse College.
