Today is Pittsfeld's town meeting
| day and a large crowd is expected
| to be in attendance at the meeting
| to voice their views on the import
ant items to be voted on. One
| feature that seems likely to be dis
cussed extensively is the overdrawing
| of appropriations. Several of the
| leading men and part of the Sc
| lectmen at least think enough
| money should be raised at the meet
! ing to carry each department
| through the year and that then the
| department should be held down
strictly to this amount and not be
allowed to overdraw. Inasmuch as
this will necessitate raising consid.
cradle more money than usual in
some departments it is expected to
| develop considerable opposition. Il
is likely that there will be consider
able excitement in the contest fol
selectmen, Judge o. HI. Drake ap-
! pears to have no opposition for the
position of first selectman. For the
second selectman's berth there are
/ two candidates, Hollis w. Stitham
the present encumbrant who is q
candidate for reelection and Edgar
! E. Johnson, who lives in the west
part of the town. 1t is understood
that J. D. Wentworth. who has beer
! third selectman during the pas
year does not want the job again or
account of other business matters
and Charlie Ames will be a can
did.ate for third position. A meet
ing was held Saturday afternoon a
Union hall which was well attended
and the appropriations requested
for various departments were talked
over informally, 1t being though
the several articles could be handled
more intelligently and expepeditious
ly If better understood by the vot
! ers, and that many pointsRcould b'
brought out that could notIbe taker
up SO extensively in town meeting
Monday. S.
Jesse Gatchell went to Unity Fri
day for a visit. . ht4
