Of Women Voters, asking for the l appointment of a district nurse for this place, many of the signers of the petition arc retracting the claims made by the league that the names on the roll stood for endorse ment of the question, it was said to- day.
 It is understood that several of the signers of the paper affixed their names In order to bring the question before the meeting and their signature in no way admits their approval of the plan. When submitted to the signers, the peti- tloners stated that as 20 names were needed for the admitting of the plea into the call for town meeting, the names alfred thereon would be placed there simply to ad- init the paper to the call. When 1t was learned that nearly 200 names were solicited by the peti tioners of the league, many of the slgners of the paper wanted 1t known that they had signed merely to bring the question before the town meet ing.
 Although nearly everyone admits that the proposition of a district nurse is good one. the question of whether the town can afford the in- crease in budget or not sways them to combat the measure. The pres ent rate of taxation being high. the opposing forces doubt whether the proJect will pass the vote of the taxpayers as it would boost the tax rate to nearly 16 mills.
