MARX ROLLINS Couptv Tre

MARK ROLLINS County Treasurer,
1t appears. therefore, that the criminal
costs before the Augusta ms gis,rate in 1888.
was 500 more than the aggregate criminal
costs before the municipal Judges of Hal
lowell and Watervile. and all the trial ms
tees in the county. 1t is thus that the Ring
government of Augusta is robbing the tax
payers OF the city and county.
Will it not be well to ascertain who has been
"robbing the taxpayers the past year. The
county treasurer's books show that the
amount of criminal costs originating in the
Augusta municipal court under Marshal
Farrington's administration of police affairs,
for the eight months ending in November,
was S2O477S. At the same ratio for the re-
naming four months, W hich the figures will
surely reach, the aggregate criminal costs of
the Age ring government will amount to
S3O71.67, sum STAG 81 larger than that
for the year of republican rule cited by the
Age, and which exceeds the costs .before the
municipal judges of Hallowell and Waterville
and all the trial justices in the county, by
1881. IS How do those who pay the bills
like robbery by 1.-THE ring government of Au-
gusta ?"
