Town Board Meeting.

The village trustees met Tues
day night with all members
present. The town tax levy was
fixed at IS mills after pairing down
three appropriation items to keep
within the income. The light fund
was cut from SI2oo to SIIoo, and
the public Improvements and
current expense funds each from
$500 to SI3Io.
The cement and mixer having
arrived, work on concrete cross
walks was ordered begun as soon
as gravel and sand can be hauled.
The board voted to sell cement to
property owners at cost for street
abuttment sidewalk purposes only.
1t was stated this step was advisa-
Bile as an inducement to build
cement walks.
A committee of the Civic club
was present to discuss plans for
the proposed swimming pool in
the park. The board asked that
complete plans and specifications
be submitted for the boards
approval, as it is the opinion of
members that the village authori.
ties will be held responsible for
the management. Members ex-
pressed themselves as being averse
to signing any contract with the
irrigation district for use of the
water for the pool.
Ii was decided to ask the
Wayside club, the w. R. c. and
the Civic club to appoint one
