Town caucus debates party compromise for town offices
In a Sept 17 caucus of Republican electors, leaders debated delaying full ticket plans and seeking a compromise with Democrats to keep current officers in place for another year. The plan hinges on both parties agreeing, as the two major offices up for election are first selectman and tax collector. If Democratic caucus rejects the compromise, Republicans may field a full slate. Frederick DePeyster chaired, Harry Howard was clerk. A second note reports Josephine Milardo of Bank Street fined 35 dollars plus costs for selling liquor without a license after a raid found ten dozen bottles. three men present were not charged.
