Sewer costs soar as town reorganizes engineering bureau
The town faces rising sewer costs with estimates for Franklin Avenue and others spiraling well past original figures. A new Bureau of Engineering is created to replace the Town Surveyor and Inspector roles, headed by a $3,000 engineer, while streamlining duties and cutting overhead. A private telephone is ordered for the Town Clerk, and measures address street and tree issues as department reorganization proceeds.

Letter to the Editor Defends Court and Hughes Nomination
The letter denounces the idea of protecting the Supreme Court from politics as foolish and defends the nomination of Justice Hughes for President. It argues the court serves the people and a judge is not too good to be president, urging voters to judge by party platform pledges rather than clerical prestige. It notes contrasts between 1912 and 1916 Democratic principles and calls for evaluating sincerity in the coming campaign.
