"Town Fimciny" Delivered by Borougl) Secretary ot Lions Clul) Meeting Here Last Week
Per onr promise In last week's Issue wo are furnishing our citi¬ zens and readers an interesting talk on "Town Financing" as de¬ livered at tbe Lions Cluh last week by C. F. Fehnel. Secretary of Town Council,
We ha4 mentioned that 87 per cent of tbe membersMp had Voen present at this meeting, but when .Mr. Fehnel arose to address the audience and after looking the same over he rematked: "I no¬ tice there are a good number of borough offlcials ao well as past of¬ llclals present here tonight and 1 don't know but whether I'd better be careful as to what I say on this subject in order to pass censor¬ ship."
However, there was no question iu the mindH of the officials or the audience in general as to the fact; and figures presented, and Mr. Fehnel again proved himself an efflclent secrettiry. His talk was enjoyed very much by all present and the history of our borough  is
veil worth knowing from an edu¬ cational as well aa a business view¬ point.
