BOWERS

The annual town election was held
on Monday of this week and to say
that it was warmly contested would
be putting it mildly. However, the
outcome seemed to be satisfactory to
those of the voters who were in favor
of doing something for the town and
therefore elected men of a progress
i've spirit, and energy. Joseph P.
Cross, j. NJ. BOulden and Gilbert Trib-
bitt were elected cOuncilmen and
Reynolds Davidson. town assessor.
The fact remains now to be seen
whether they will do anything for
the benefit of the town and to the sat
isfaction of its taXables.

Der them.
