rho Public Meeting.


Of Thursday morning, quito large
number Of citizens assembled in tho
afternoon ut the Town Hall, for
tho purpose of making nom;na-
tons for intondant and wardens to
serve during tho ensuing municipal
year, The attendance was perhaps
larger than that upon any previous
gathering Of similar nature-a
sigr Of the interest felt by tho
townspeoplo in the town affairs
On motion of Mr. George II. Me-
Master, Mr.. L. Gcriy was called to
preside over the meeting, and on
motion Of AIr. John S. Reynolds,
Mr.. VIM. n. Chandler was selected
to act rs secretary. In taking the
chair. Mr.. Gelig thanked tho citi-
zcne present for the compliment
paid him, and announced that he
was ready to hear any suggestions
rs to tho business before the meet
ing, ....
Mr.. G. II. McNIastor thought that
the meeting should discuss in q gen.
eral way the nffairs Of the town and
make such suggestions as might aid
the incoming council in CARRYING
out the wishes Of the citizcns. He
expressed himself rs warml J in favor
OF the payment of q salary to the
intendant, Oh tue glonnd that tho
timo and labor involved in tie
proper exercise of the duties Of the
Office entitled the incumbent to some
just compensation.
Somo discussion here cnsued IS to
the right of council, under the char
ter of the town, to allow any COM
pcnsation to the into ndant. It was
finally agrccd that such power did
exist.
Mr.. T. r. Robertson thought that
the question Of salary or no salary
should be submitted to the qualified
voters of the town at tho election.
This, he considered, was the only
way of arriving at tho tue will of
the taxpayers in the matter.
Mr.. McNIaster thought it proper
that the meeting should fully con-
slider the subject and give some
formal expression of tho views of
the taxpayers. He then offered tho
following resolutions
Resol>ed, That it is the sense of
this meeting that tho intcndant of
Winnsboro should receive IN annual
salary, not to exceed the sum of
$3.50.
Nes0lUcd, That it is likewise the
sense Of this meeting th1t the town
treasurer should be required to
give bond. with good anl suffi>
cient surcties. for the faithful per
| formance Of the duties OF tie office,
! said bond not to exceed tho sum of
$500.
Mr.. Robertson removed his sag
gestion that the question of salary
should be submitted to tho voters
at the regular election.
Dr. w. T.. Aiken spoke in favor OF
the resolutions. On tho matter Of
salary, he said it had long been his
conviction that the intendant should
bc properly compensated for his Off
cial work, md said that he would
himself have suggested tho change
ut the public meeting last year, but
for the fact that he himself received
tho taxpayers nomination for the
position Of intendant. AS showing
tho views of tho present council ON
the subject, he read the following
resolutions, taken from the
minutes of the last regular meeting
Of council:
ResolUed, That in consideration
Of tho duties devolvin@ upon the
intendant of tho town OF Winnsboro.
