Bert Lord Appointed Town Supervisor of Afton
Lewis E. Fredenburg [Afton Town Supervisor], having received the appointment of postmaster at Afton, placed his resignation with the Town Board who accepted the same and at once cast about to find a suitable person to fill his place. It seems that in this state the old saying "To the Victor Belong the Spoils" holds good. With a change in the administration at Albany, All Republican office holders must go to give way to the Democrats. With many others the axe landed on our fellow-townsman, Hon. Bert Lord, who for the past year and a half has been Superintendent of the State Automobile Bureau. He with other prominent officials was obliged to step down and out. The Town Board, learning that Mr. Lord was soon to be out of office got in touch with him and after some persuasion he reluctantly consented to their request and at once was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Fredenburg's resignation. The news of Mr. Lord's appointment as Supervisor of the Town of Afton will give universal satisfaction and gratification, for he was a prominent member of the Board of Supervisors for several years up to the time of his election to the Assembly from this county. At Albany in the Legislative body, Mr. Lord won favor and his wise action on many bills has previously been mentioned. Governor Miller acknowledged his ability and appointed him to the position from m which he has recently been deposed. Mr. and Mrs. lord will return to their home on Spring street in this village, early next month and their Afton friends will be pleased to welcome them back.--Afton Enterprise.

$12,800 for Streets
Village Board Lets Contract To
Macadamize Six of the Village Streets
Front street, River street, Evans street, Tyler street from South Main to Ireland and Clark's Mill, Scott street from Pearl to Juliand street and the lower portion of Pearl street in this village will be macadamized this spring. The board of village trustees have let the contractor Frank Lewis of Harpursville for $12,800. When this contract is finished Bainbridge will have more good road within its corporation limits than any other village in the state. The system of good roads will then cover every street in the village excepting two. this expenditure of money for streets will be accomplished at the same time that the tax ratio will be lowered from $15 to $10 per $1,000. This action by the board in building streets is the result of petitions filed by the property owners of the various streets who will pay two thirds of the cost, the village paying one third. The village has on hand $2,500 and in using one half of the highway fund which is raised by taxation the one third share which the village is to pay for the new streets is met without an increase but rather by a decrease in the tax ratio of the village. Front and River streets will be 18 feet wide and the cost to the taxpayers on the street is $1.33 per lineal foot. Evans street will be 14 feet wide and the cost per lineal foot in $1.00.

Buildings Destroyed by Fire
Afton [Chenango Co., NY]: Fire destroyed all the buildings on the farm of Lewis Corbin about four miles below Afton on the East side on Sunday night. The fire was first discovered in the barn, which was nearly burned when first discovered. The high wind carried the burning timbers to the adjoining buildings which were soon a mass of flames. Beside the large house and barn there were several smaller buildings, a large quantity of farming machinery of the most modern kind, thirty-five head of cattle, four horses, and all the household goods. Several auto loads from town were soon on the scene but nothing could be done to save the buildings. the family have the sympathy of the whole community.
