LET'S HANG TOGETHER

Some Of the residents Of Oakley west of Goose !
creek pettioning for release from the corpora
tion The idea seems to be that the taxes which are
paid to the Village should be saved for the prop
erty owners This idea is fatally mistaken. No bet
ter investment could be made by fellow citizens
across the stream than these same taxes.
The Oakley Herald is against the movement to |
make the old town smaller In order to uphold our
policy of working for the best interests Of Oakley
Valley we MUST be against such movement. We
favor constructive measures, and unalteraby Op
posed to those of disittegratng nature
Our fellow citizens west Of Goose creek have
gained much by reason of the village organization
The first organization was made in 1897, at which /
time the territory west of Goose creek included
The charter was granted in 1904 and the corpora
ton legalized. Among the first bonds issued under
the charter those~Whch made possible the con-
crete bridge across Goose creek. Two concrete
bridges have been built in the territory that desires
to secede Moreover, three plank bridges and three
culvelts have been built in the district There
are beyond Goose creek, nearly three foulths of a
mile Of graded street and nearly one half mile of
street lights
Again the people of West Oakley have benefit
ted largeyo on account of Oalleys seven miles of
sidewalks They use these constantly, as, of course.
they should And yet these sidewalks haven't cost
the people Of West Oakley penny. To the people
of West Oakley the sidewalks represent Of the
advantages which come free when community
ganizes
The objection hasbeen raised that farmers liv-
ing in the village have to pay village taxes on the
range stock The Herald has been informed on good
authority that range stock-sheep and cattleare not
assessed for village taxes.
Taxes are larger this year than normal. The
reason for this explained in statement to tax
payers published some time ago in The Oakley Her
ald The increase in taxes is to meet certain bonds
which are coming due. Provision should have been
made for these bonds years ago. It's the fact that
the obligation must be met in such brief space that
makes the burden slightly heavy. But this is mere
temporary matter The taxes will soon again be nor
NAL
Good things are in store for us if only we will
hang together The Vipont is making admirable
progress Drilling for oil probably will begin within
week. Lett plan to go forward, and not backward.
1t may cost more to go forward than to- slip back
wards, but heck It's worth more
The city dads planning improvements that
will benefit all the people Of Oakey-such improve
ments a tie yard and village park. Let's go on
and make the old town the best little town earth
Suppose we increase our civic pride about 1000 per
cent. 1t will do us all good
Let's increase our civic loyalty to the point
where no part Of the town would be willing to leave
the organization e if it were asked to do So
We ought to stick together so closely that all the
kings horses and all the kings couldn't pull
apart -.-
LET'S HANG TOGETHER.

the last moment caught the name and

Randall Petre started stared made
movement as if to hasten after her,
but the door changed close and he saw
the figure of the only woman he had
ever loved swallowed up in the fast
receding waves of alternate light and
darkness.

love. A decisive understanding to his
proposal was stayed by an Interrupt
ton. The next morning Petrie was
suddenly summoned by a relative in
another town. He had expected to be
gone only few days but his sojourn
ran into months. Twice he wrote Ada.
There came no reply. A third letter
was returned to him marked, RE
fused" He had later made inquiries
regarding her to learn that she and
her mother had removed to the city,
and he gave her up as lost to him. AS
the car stopped for new passengers
Petrie moved to make room for one of
them. He jostled something in the
seat. A small hand bag. His quick
senses dscerned its ownership. He
left the car at the first stop. Like
some miSer greedy of treasure in

public restaurant and sought its re-
hottest corner. He held something
that had belonged to Ada A fitting
excuse was given to return it to her.

dence. He opened the hand bag. A

Billings Favorite for Speaker

Col. Franklin S. Billings of Woodstock
is going before the legislature with a solid
Windsor county backing for the speaker
ship of the House, and the comment from
others parts of the state indicates that his
candidacy is elsewhere looked upon with a
marked degree of favor. Besides the per-
sonal qualifications which create good i'm
preston and feeling of confidence, Colo
mel Billings Is rated as level headed"
which in Vermont is considered a most
enviable rating, and he is considereda man
to whom so responsible a position could be
safely entrusted. Furthermore, he has had
legislative experience and from having been
called to the chair by other speakers, is
already familiar with the duties of the posi-
tions he seeks, which is great advantage
that would enable him to expedite the
business of the House and causeit to move
with less friction than might be the case
with untried man holding the speakership.
