no doubt that we will make noise • takes in transacting the business of

Iferctofore there 11:a sbeen ro sys-
tem adapted whereby they could
make any estimate of the amount of
water being consumed. and when the
collector wont .around to collect the
rates there was dispute and dissatis-

oomnend that you take the matter
up et your earliest convenience and
try to ascertain if possible the actual

wish to call your attention to is the
making of our roads or streets. The
List 'few years the ;ravel put on
our streets was only money thrown
away. It is put on in the fall and
scraped up and drown away in tho

the advisability of conferring with

terms we can oet there to run e

of the town and thus save the town
a large expense in keeping up the
atreets f•or tlic long haul of heavy
frei-ght.
The Cemetery.—It seems to me
gentlemen that the expenses of the
cemetery corn be great ly reduced
witlaut deteriorating it s leouty in
any way.
There aro a number of industries
which I think we txtn ..Tet to locate
here by holdii; out some induce-

visable to hold out snob inducements
which I will make known plainly to
you When the proper time cones.
