preciated.
—There is some talk about the
re-organization of the village of Ash
ton as regards the incorporation and
its limits. As it now exists Ashton
covers six sections of land which
had to be taken in at the time in or
der to get enough inhabitants as the
law requried. There are now duite
a few farmers who are within the
village limits, who are required to
pay a village tax, getting no direct
benifit in return. The idea is to cut
otr those farmers living from 1£ and
2 millesfrom town and take in just
two sections, Ashton having over
the required amount of inhabitants
We expect to see antagonism on
this proposition. As it is Ashton is
spread too far and lln> proposition
seems just as regards the farmers in
terested.
