No. 1, ‘ JOHN O'BRIEN ROad Overseer, Dist. No. 2, 3 4 JAMES DUFFY One hundred men and “Timid Tony voted in favor of the plan to make Grand Rapids a “dry” town at the village election yesterday. Those who advocated the no-licnse plan had evidently not given the matter serious consideration, but it is thought that the decisive vote of 336 to 101, which was registered against the plan wil? do away with any agitation of the question in the future. Had Grand Rapids gone “dry” it would have stunted the growth of the village and surrounding country for years to come. No one would want to see the town filled with vacant buildings, values depreciated and the business which should come here going to neighboring villages, and the citizens evidently realized this would come should the proposition carry, as was The busi- ness men, as a whole, were not in favor of a closed town and it is safe to say that all who hold property in the village are well pleased with the rédsult. For village president, A. C. Bossard received unanimous endorsement, he getting 431 of a total of 438 votes cast. Mr. Bossard is a man who can be thoroughly relied upon at all times to work fon the best interests of the village and, although he was not a candidate, was given.mo chance to refuse the office, all uniting in de- elaring him the only man for the position. F. A. King, George Arscott and George Shook, the regular caucus nominees for trustees were elected and received a heavy vote. They will make an executive body of which any village might welll be proud and there is no doubt they will give the citizens of Grand Rapids a careful and conscientious business adminis tration. Mr. King has previously served as both village recorder and trustee and he is a mam who has | the respect of all whom he comes | im contact. He can always be depend ed on to lend his aid in assisting any’ measure thait iwill ‘be for the be- nefit of the village as a whole and the people are to be congratulated upon their choice. That the people have confidence in George Arscott’s business judgmentr cam readily hej seen from the fact that he received 877 votes for trustee in a field where six were running. He also ran far ahead of other candidates at the cau- cus.
