The fifth member, - J. M.
O'Briant, has been acting as May
or since the resignation of Mr. M.

The boaixl named is decidedly a
good one and the town is to be
congratulated that such a board
could be found who would serve.
As is well known. the Town Board
gets nothing, save ?:cussin'- and gen
era(; abuse,; and it is with difficulty
that good men can be induced to
accept the job oh such terms. In
the hands of these gentlemen the
town has nothing to fear, but may
look forward to an era of prosper
ity for the town. '
The retiring board has done
well, exceedingly well. They have
