As soon as the committee is lined up the contract with the Manufacturers Appraisal Co. of Philadelphia will be signed. 1 some criticism Of lhe method Of voting at the meeting Monday night | has been heard. II is said that such an important matter should have been placde on the voting ma chimes 1 at the annual election and voted 1 upon them. or that at least a writ. ten ballot should have been taken, ! Further. it is claimed that some who voted for reNaluation were neither voters nor taxpayers in the town of llainvllle. IL is agreed. however, that the time for asking a written ballot was Monday night, not now. Some inquiry has been made as to the possibility ot declaring the meet ing invalid or finding some other way 10 nullify the action taken, but ihero appears 10 be no way Of doing this and most of those who voted against the proposition arc willing to i admit defeat and 10 put their shoul- dcrs to the wheel in order that the revaluation may be the best one DOS sibie.
