WhOPays?

Recently the Street Committee Of the
Council, composed of Messrs. Fisk, Hitch
cock and Israel, purchased road leveler
at an expense of $50 and presented the
bill to the Council for payment at its first
regular meeting in June. Councilman
Randall objected to its payment on the
grounds that the purchase was not author
lied by the Council, hence it was illegal.
A vote was taken on the question of al
lowing the bill which resulted in its being
stricken from the pay ordinance, Messrs.
Randall, Butler and Manning voting nay,
and the other three members composing
the street committee voting yea. Since
the refusal Of the Council to allow the road
leveler bill, the street committee mas caused
a stone culvert to be built across Bridge
street at the Harbor, without permission
of, nor consultation in the Council. In
justice to Mr.. Fisk the chairman of the
street committee, under whose supervision
the work was contracted and executed, we
will say that the contract was let just be-
fore the Council refused to allow the pay
ment of the road leveler bill.
At the meeting of the Council last We'd
nesday evening the question of the legality
of the committee in letting a contract
without permission, was discussed. Mr..
Randall, supported by Messrs. Butler and
Manning claimed they had not. Mr.. Fisk
said he would not have contracted the
work had he known it was illegal. Mr.
Hitchcock said work had been done on sew
eral occasions, during previous terms of the
Council and while he was a member. The
discussion finally ended by Mr.. Randall
assuring the Council that an injunction
would be served if an attempt was made
to pass the bill. Up to the present time
neither hill has been paid.

Eds. Isl.-A sort of festival was i'm
provised for our 4th celebration by the
g. A. R. A few tents were erected on the
park on the afternoon of the Sd, and more
or less of the members occupied them dur
ing the night. The scene was much enliY-
enen in the evening by song and hilarity.
Prof. Luce, Miss Peck and others got into
the band stand and gave the very appro-
pirate piece-Tsnting on the old camp
ground. The rain on the morning of the
4th delayed the opening exercises, and the
gathering was at the academy hall instead

tette-Luce, Glezen. Grover and Miss Peck.

was given to the speaker, and then bene-
diction.
The address was model of excellence,
and replste with historical interest.
The six tables spread in the Town Hall,
by the ladies, and covered with flowers
and refreshments of choice character,
were not neglected. The weather cleared
up, and before evening the tables were re-
moved to the evergreen enclosure upon the
park, which was brilliantly lighted. While
daylight lasted match game of croquet
was played between Mr.. Geo. Barton, Miss
Fida Ransom and Mr.. Sherman Wright,
Miss Ella Grover in which the first named
ouple carried the day on two trials.
The receipts of the day and evening
were $50.

ladge, Ala, arrived here on Saturday last
from N. Y. city, whittier they had been
called by the Home Missionary Society, in
the interests of which they have been en-
ployed. The desk of the Presbyterian
church, so long filed by Mr.. H, was oc-
cupied by him both morning and evening
last Sabbath. The history of their work
on behalf of the freedmen, was given and
listened to with much interest. tits hoped
by numerous friends, that their stay among
us will be continued several weeks.
