Closed Up Business For Year and Ix. onerated a Large Amonnt of Taxes. Athens—The old borough council hel thelr last meeting Satarday night to close up their business for the past year. Every member was present and after paying bills they gave their at- tention to the exonerations that Col- icetor A. E Bressler has presented for allowance the presept year. The amount was $165.00 and there was some discussion over it but they were finally allowed. Among the number is the tax on silk mill, amounting to $45 00 which by the terms of an agree- ment when the mill was bulit was to be exonerated for ten years. This term has not yet expired. Other itmes were on unoccupled property and liens have been ecutered against the property and the tax wlil be col- lected by sale. The fourth ward hose house has not yet been acepted on acount of the con- tract noe being fully completed and $25 is held back until that is done. The wiring has not yet been tested by the electrician and there is yet some outside painting to be done when the weather will permit The borough finances show that the expenses were about $2,000 above the receipts on general fund and there was a balance of about $3500 over on other accounts, The secretary re- ported that he had received $200 from the trolley company on account of past year's tax. No other business the council adjourned to Monday even- ing when they will close up the rec- ords and turn over the business to the new council who will be sworn in at that time.

Athens—The alternoon session of the local teachers’ association Satur- day filled high school hall to its ful- jest capacity. All wanted to listen to jcut Claims. of this valley, costing many valuable lives and wearing out one whole gon- erauon. Mrs. Murray's argument from where we sal and so cannot give its leading features, but its subject matter is one that every person in this valley shonld become fibnil ar with. We are satisfied that the impartial student of history will always be convinced that the Counecticut Claims were founded in justice as they antedated the pro- prietors nearly lwo decades and thal the system of jugglery that overturn- el ~~ and put the settlers to the expense of paylng twice for thelr lands was an act of injustice that has never been atoned for. We of this valley have an added Inferest in the matter from the fact that Col.
