That well-spring of American Demo
cracy, the Town Meeting, bubbled but
feebly in Middlebury last Tuesday
when only a small percentage of the
legal voters responded to the annual
warning and gathered at the Town
Hall to consider the Fourteen Points
as set forth therein. 1t was a perfect
day, but Illness business, and indif-
ference reduced the attendance. There
were present most of the town Office
holders, a number of other substantial
citizens from village and farms, and
just mere handful of the newly en-
franchised women.
There were no discordant elements,
except the colors in the frescoing on
the walls. If there were any tangible
or colorful features in the meeting it.
self, it was to be found in the almost
futile "hunt for lister" and the liberal
manner in which the voters acquiesced
in all of the proposed increases of sal
aries for town officers.
Though the regular business was com
pleted at the morning session from 10
to y, the ballot box for recording the
liquor vote was kept on duty untD
three in the afternoon, and when
the box was opened Middlebury found
herself technically "wet" by a vote of
l65 to II by majority of S9a but lit
orally "dry" forever 1t was the the
first time that Middlebury has voted
for license since 1908, although the
town came within two votes of doing
so last year. The vote for liquor this
year was largely through default, as
there was comparatively little interest
taken by the anti-liquor forces. The
federal prohibition act is now in action
and the local license issue remained on
the program only because the state
statutes have not been amended to
conform with federal law.
Ira H. LaFleur presided as modera-
tor when the meeting opened and
Joseph NJ. Burke as clerk. As the first
business Of the meeting they were re-
elected unanimously to these positions
The town reports as submitted by the
auditors were accepted and adopted
The tax of three and a half per cent
on the grand list was voted to main
tain the Public Library in cooperation
with the Ladies Library Association
The usual appropriation of money for
Memorial Day observance was made,
S75 for Middlebury village and $50 for
East Middlebury. Later in the meet
ing George N. Shambo, Lewis Han
field and Solomon B. Aines were elected
a committee to cooperate with the G.
A. R. in arrangements for Memorial
Day.
Under article five, to see if the town
would vote any money for permanent
highways to take advantage of the
state aid law, the sum of $1,000 was ap-
Article six to see what ac-
ton the town would take in regard to |
