The Balfmoon town board have in creased the number of election distiicts In the town from four to live, the for- mer number and, the ^boundary lines are madM?ery\hearly~the same as when first esttiblished. The law provides that not more than 400 voters shall be allowed in a single election district. Four districts provided, therefore, for 1,600 voters. In the last presidential election only 1,080 votes were cast. The five election dis tricts now provide for 2,000 voters. The mcrease In the number of election dis tricts appears to have oeen entirely nn- oeccBsary, and to have been made princi- oally to create extra town patropage. The petition for the restoration of the former election district with polls at Ollfton Park, was a slim affair wo are In formed. It contained the names of the Clifton Park hotel keeper who expected to rent rooms to the town, the signatures of a few business men In the same place who were anxious for a few days’ trade, •>nd the names of a few persons who ex- ted positions as inspectors of dec 'Ion, ballot clerks and poll clerks. The following four Inspectors have been ap pointed; Alonzo y . Smith, Stephen Smith, John K. Smith, Willard S. Lasher. Halfmoon taxes are on the upward slide once more. _______ HIGH INSUBANOB BATHS. Fire insurance rates In this village were increased from 18 to 25 per cent, one year ago, February 1, very soon after the village bad expended $160,006 for an un- asually efficient system of water works, and bad also authorized the formation of an additional hose company. Onr citi zens have been imposed on one full year. It is understood that officials of the state •insurance combine recently decided te come here for the purpose of re-sdjusting and lowering insurance rates, but that certain active members o f' the county combine, opposed sneh action, The mat er Is said to have been discussed at the recent annual meeting of the county com bine at Saratoga, and It has leaked out that a certain insurance agent demanded 'bat the present outrageously high rates of insurance should be maintained, in order that the agents might be able to secure ‘'sufficient fees upon which to tire properly.\ It is said the local agents receive 16 per cent, fees on all premiums, ind that it is to their Interest to force premiums to the highest possible notch. Every increase in the ui le provided for by an increase of High Insurance Rates deter many people from securing proper insurance.

Advertising Bays la Bard Times. If the past year has been one of es pecial hardship to newspapers, there is one direction in which they have been •»eryed a good turn. Merchants began retrenching as soon as they realized the condition of aflairs and every expendi ture was carefully watched, and results noted. The result has been that the merchants who continued their advertis ing expenditures have been surprised st -he results achieved.
