beyond conception.

and what the pay per diem was.
l have before me the report of a
town Of double the number Of inhabi-
tants OF Brighton, aud a grand list
more than three times as large as
Brighton. 1 see that in that town the
officers were paid as follows: Listers
Sl32l2, Selectmen S7O.l2, town clerk
$3.50, Superintendent 5000, Overseer
$3675. Treasurer $1,000. These fig
ures include expenses, amounts paid
out, &c. Each officer presents an
itemized bill giving dates and amount
of service, charged at $3.50 per diem.
Compare this with Brighton. The
Selectmen of the town referred TO as
road commissioners expended in re-
pairs, snow bills, &C., over $4,000.
The Listers took list with twice the
number of polls and nearly four times
the amount of that of Brighton. The
overseer dispensed $4,000 to twenty
four regular pensioners, besides tran
sieuts. The Treasurer handled about
$l5, 900, and kept his town and school
treasury accounts separated. Other
accounts are in proportion, making
the pay of the officers of that wealthy
town but little more than those of
Brighton.
1t is but natural that these things
should grow, unless strict supervision
is kept of them. And the best way to
do this is to have a fixed per diem for
all work of officers and lahorers to
require all parties entrusted with dis
bursting public monies to present item
lied accounts, and have those accounts
printed in the report.

We are glad to observe two important
articles in the town meeting warrant,
viz: To enlarge the cemetery, and to

the voters will look favorably on both
propositions, as the result will be bet

quite essential that suitable resting
place be provided wherein to
lay our dead. The cemetery now looks
crowded with its numerous marble
slabs bearing the names of our loved
ones. How sad the thought that we
shall all lie there sooner or later but
sadder still, that we are SO quickly
forgotten.
