To the Editor of the Star:
In these piping times of plenty, when
the burthens of life are so easily borne-no
poor men or women in our midst-and the
pockets of the taxpayer is overhowing,
six hundred dollars is small sum of
money to send whistling up the winds.
1t does not require any great amount of
learning to figure The difference between
paying seven ($7) OF eight 1857 dollars in five
(5) years in the city of Newport for the use
of their jail and building new one at a
cost of six hundred ($600) dollars.
But intelligence is not question OF
learning, but a quersion of fact.
With due Difference TO the gentlemen
who compose the town council, we would
suggest to the man who shoots folly as it
flies,' to shoot our Jail.
