Policies Expiring and Renewal Urged by Directors

The report cites past insured value of 85 720 dollars and general expenses of 63.33 dollars, urging township directors to prompt action to prevent funds shortfalls and ensure renewals at half price where allowed. The Goshen paper notes the extra publication rarity and defends the editor against local criticism.
