It ia up to you Mr. Voter if you want
? change in town matter*. *
TU remains of Morgan ware buried
at Cedar Hill cemetery at Hartford,
Conn., on Tuesday.
A MieiTT good thing for tbe voters
of a email town to do 1* to hare a limit"
to the time a man can serve tbe town.
klHiTTON has the prise for producing
a hen with the largest record for laying
eggs. They claim to hare one that has
laid eleven eggs in one week.
Anothsk week has passed and no ex
port accountant has been employed by
the town that tbe voters know of. It
looks more like a repetition of the past.
Thbbe ia a movement on foot to pre
sent a petition to tbe Corporation Com*
mieaion from the eitizens of Loaisburg
asking that the Seaboard be required to
give better service on this branch.
Ws have been congratulated the
past week bv one of the Board of Town
Commissioners for the stand we have
taken in regard to the town's matters.
We are glad to know be is with us.
Wondek it the Board of Town Com
missioners would accept promises aa
, much in settltment of pritate matters
as they try to make the votefh take for
public matters?
We understand tbe train force on the
Louisburg road is almost at tbe point
of "giving up the job" on account of
not being able to do the work now be
ing forced upon them.
A person who is exceedingly cioee I
the present Board of Town Commis
sioners said to us recently that "there
is not a member on the Board that
should be re-elected." This looks to
us like it is nutting it pretty strong.
A rumor is floating about to the ef
fect that an effort will be made ta get
postal telegraph connectiona at Loois
borg. Thia will be quite an addition to
the convenience of the people of tbe
town.
It is puzxling to us to see why tbe
people will ait still and let the railro ids
do them aa they please in a matter of
service. They claim ^Jthe -Louisburg
branch is tbe best pay(pg ten miles of
road they have, then why should they
not give better service.
The entire town will think more of
the next set of commissioners if they
irill disregard the resolution passed
about six years ago donating their ser
vice to the town. The election of a
board to succeed that one kills the ef
fectiveness of the order and justly so.
We were asked tbe other day "what
ahall we do to rid ourselves of the pres
ent condition of the town's AattersT's
Our answer is to elect a set of men who
will attend to tbe matters as they
should be and stop this way of voting
anything that is called' a ticket in the
primary.
Wi say again that we are especially
friendly with every individual member
of tbe Board of Town Commissioners
and do not hesitate in saying that in
private business their equals a- ? hard
to find. Still wh?n it comes
matters, and handled like
affairs have been the past f> ir . ? ?.r*
friends or no friends, to us they a.* en
tirely in their own light, and are cer
tainly dealing unfair with the pub'ic.
It has been suggested that, in order
to offset the combination ticket ar
rangement that has existed heretofore,
a mass meeting of the voters be held
for the purnose of selecting a set of
men to vote far in the coming primary.
This we think is a splendid idea and
every citiien of the town jught to at
tend it. It ia certainly giving the pec- |
pie a chanie to say who they Want.
SmC* the primary, is an institution j
the object of which i? to let U>e people
exert thii privilege of selecting; who
they wantons ticket we nee no earthly
reason why any combination ticket
should be allowed to be voted. A me
thod of this kind cannot be fair. It is
only a scheme to "hoodwink" the'
voters. Every man baa a right to vote
stor his ehoioe and should exercise it
If the combination ticket- eaa be done
away 'with there will be a ^iir difference
in the town's administration.
J Cst before the i?et elecetioo it war
claimed the town had an outstanding
indebtedness of about <10,000.00. since
that time the town has or should have
received near Mt, 000.00. Ff this
period of ' time the evident expenses
of .running the town's affairs has been
leas than *30,000.00. ftill we ar? in
formed the town now has an outstand
ing indebtedness of above $10,000.00. It
looks to ua it is time somebody was ex
plaining somethiag. Can it b* possi
b!e that those who have had the ad
ministration of these affairs are so
much aahaiqed of their rccord that
they won't tell the voters about what
ther have done?
