Registrars of Voters Peter F. Duffy
and Howard LaField yesterday con-
cluded two days of idleness and
yawning. Yesterday and a week ago
they were in session at the town hall
to receive the names of those who
wished to be registered or reinstated
as voters, and on the two days to-
gether only 16 persons appeared be-
fore them. Two asked to be placed
on the republican caucus list.
This apathy is not considered un-
usual, because there is no state or
national election this year to stir up
the interest of the townspeople in
politics.
A session of the registrars will be
held on September from 10 a. M,
to p. M, when they will complete
taking the names Of those wishing to
be placed on the voting list. Within
IL days from that date the select
men will meet and make" the
voters.
