Mr. Sullivan. 3 Colonel Jarvis was In accord with Mr. Sullivan’s thought and he said that with the $2,000 or $3,000 leaway on the 16 mill rate there was some chance of paying off some of the debt. He wanted to see the tax rate lo cred rather than raised and from the figures presented he considered that the town was.in-a fair way to pay oft a little of the bacly debt. Mr. Sullivan agreed with Mr. Jarvis that the rate should be lowered : rather than raised and after the back bills were pdid there was more of ' a chance to do this.

Mr. Moore’s_ statement brought forth a burst of -applause from the members. of the republican party who considered that the move of the democratic party was ons of the squarest things ‘ever done by either party in.the town’s politics. This move by the demegratic party shows that they are in the game not for the benefit of the party but for the good of the town and-that any move the party can make for the betterment of local conditions will ‘be done. : Colonel Jarvis said that he consid- ered that the democrats had done a pretty square thing and that it was appreciated by the members of the republican party. There is too much politics and quarrelling going on among the members of the two par- ties and they should all get together and- work to get the town oiit-of debt he said: He didn’t think that the democrats would lose anything by giving a square deal of that sort. The votes were 'counted at_the polls as they weré seen stated ex\Senator C. W, Stevens and he voiced the sen- timents of Colonel Jarvis in fegard to the move of the democrats. He con- sidered that the citizens were on the track of many needed improvements and; that all were going to do their best! to see that these were had. Give every .man his just due was the way George Sullivan of the dem- ocrat party put the move of his party. He considered that their party can- didate ‘had won the election and that was the reason for the fight that fol- lowed. When we are licked we are licked ‘he stated and the best thing to be done under the conditions was to &0 ahead and concede the election of Mr. Alling. He knew that Mr, Aling would make a good selectman and ‘would work for the good ‘of the town. All that Mr. Alling had to say was i that he thanked them for.the posi- tion and he would try and serve the whole town and not a part of the town. It was several weeks agp that the | supfeme court handed down its de- cision declaring the yote a tie at 182 each, and also ordered the superior court to reverse the decision given in favor of N. L. Beckley, democratic candidate, The contest has been full of thrills since election day when the oderator declared Mr. Alling to be elected first selectman and the demo- i crats at once took the matter to the i superfor court when the decision was given to Mr: ‘Beckley. It was not until the decision of the qupnme court was given out that the democrats considered they were in a . losing fight dand came to the conclu- | veloped property contigucus to | sion that they would work for the] ! benefit of the town and concede the election of Mr. Alling. ¥ Horse Killed By Trolle.y, A valuable mare owned by James Durkee was hit by the 6:40 o’clock trolley last night and the animal was so -badly injured that it was after- ward shot by Dr, B.
