A. stated in The Rerormer Yesterday.
the commissioners recommend the adop-
ton OF Il curfew ordinance. Following
Is the text OF the ordinance which will
be proposed under article 10:

In 1914 an effort was made to have
the village adopt a building code, but
it was unsuccessful. Many persons
feel that some sort of a building code
ought To be adopted with n view to linn
tng fire hazards, and article II Is to
see If the village will adopt n code. and
to determine the conditions thereof.
The commissioner recommend that
the village appoint committee to act
with similar committees in behalf OF
the town and Incorporated school dis
trict in reporting the advantages of one
government for the three organizations,
and article T. seeks the appointment of
such n committee for the village.
Action a. to the future construction
and maintenance of sewers j. cOntem
plated i'm the next article. IL will be
necessary to rebuild sewers from time
TO time, and as ahutting property own
crs already have been assessed once the
question arises a. TO whether future
construction should he paid for by di-
rect taxation.
The collapse of the hook aad ladder
truck in going to the Martin house at
the time OF the tire there last Tuesday
emphasizes the need of new and mod
ern truck. hence an article has been in
serted in the warrant relative to that
matter. Discussion on this question
seems to favor a motor truck instead OF
a se-drawn vehicle.
Under the article providing for rails
ing money to defrav the expenses of
the coming year. the tax rate may de
pend on what sums are voted for var
iotts purposes. The commissioners have
had in mind tn recommend a accent
tax. \ 47-cent tax was voted last year.
