DEMOCRATIC MIsRULE IN STANFORD.

RECKLESS FXPFNpITUREs BY THE CITY OFF,
CIAIS-CoMpARsONs WITH OTHER CITIES
Stamford Conn., Dec. 3 (SpeciaI-The reckless ex-
ravagance and awiess expenditures which have marked
the continuance OF Democratic rule In this town nave
been thoroughly exposed in the report Of the nvestga
ing committee appointed at the taxpayers last ANIMAL
meeting held IN October The report which will be made
pnbc tomorrow shows that the financial administra-
ton OF the Democratic Board of Seecmen IS the worst
that has ever befallen Stamford. The town expenses
have In many instances been doubled ami quadrupled,
and the cost Of running most Of the departments Is
shown TO he largely in excess OF those in towns OF
larger population in this State.
That there has been excuse for this wanton waste
of the taxpayers money except natural Democratic
greed and official dishonesty is clearly set forth in the
gating committees statement of facts The Demo
cratic treasurer for instance, paid himself 81 ,656 60
for his services during the year, although his animal
salary is but $500. The population of Stanford by
the last census 1900. Danburys population is
l9473 but the salary Of the treasurer there Is but
800 year. Or. Rogers the Democratic health officer,
received for his services last year 81 $50 Waterbury,
with q population OF $780, has four physicians who
receive but $50 each or 5000 for all OF them. The
Democratic Board OF Assessors were paid the sum OF
81 235. Norwich, whose population is 23,O48, paid
its assessors for the year only 1915 To Democratic
lawyers the selectmen paid out during the year the
sum of 81. 61O. Democratic law comes high here.
The legal expenses Of New Britain whose people num-
Der 1907 were but 1873 % last year. The Demo
cratic dog.tax collector was paid $251 for collecting
SG12. Mcriden with a populatiOLof 25,423, had her
dog.tax OF 81 G19 collected for go. The "OutdOOr'
poor OF Stamford, under the fostering hand Of the
democracy, secured the OF Sl6.747 AZ, startling
Increase the committee says over former years. This
involves a tax of 81 0G per head on the people OF
the town. New-Brtaln's per capita for her
outdoor poor Is 80 cents Danbuy's, 81; MddletOwns,
IL; Meriden's, az ard NorvichS 40. Other depart
ments show "a similar condition.
During the year the Democratic selectmen expended
20 on roads and bridges, but the committee are
unable TO find where any improvements at all proper
tionate to the sum expended have been made.
former taxcOllecto, Knapp, was short in his accounts
- 7Gs, but efforts were made by ,c seIectmen 70

leader oliver HOyt. The revelations of the com
mtee who have fearlessly done their duty, ought to
convince people Of Stamford OF the value OF Demo
cratic economy.

The committee in charge of raising
the Dickinson county Worlds fair
fund issue the following address to the
people. 1t will be we'll worth reading
and it is essential to the county's good
name that immediate action be taken
on the matter by the townships and
cities interested.
THE ADDRESS.
To the citizens of Dickinson county
and to the township boards and city
officials in particular this address is
offered:
Owing to the neglect of the late leg
islature to provide for an exhibit by
the state of Kansas at the Worlds
fair to be held in Chicago in 1898, a
number of leading citizens of the state,
irrespective of party affiliations,
prompted by spirit of patriotism and
state pride, unwilling to submit to the
humiliation of having the great state of
Kansas unrepresented at the Worlds
Columbian exposition at Chicago, as
sembled in Topeka and formulated the
state bureau of promotion. 1t was
determined at this meeting that it
would require 100000 to enable the
state to make a creditable exhibit and
that this amount should be apportioned
among the several counties in the ratio
of their assessment rolls this appor,
tionment would require of Dickinson
county the sum of 81 POS.
The state bureau also appointed one
or more executive officers in each con-
gressional district and designated the
county officials as proper committee
to organize and perfect county associa-
tions.
In Difference to the appointment
and pursuant to the call of Sid &.
Cooke, member of the bureau of pro
motion for the Fifth Congressional
district, majority of the county Of
fcers and citizens assembled in tie
court house in Abilene May 23d and
formally organized the Dickinson COun-
ty Columbian Exposition association.
The county association also elected the
township boards consisting of trustee,
clerk and treasurer, and city officials, |
consisting of mayor and councilmen,
vice-presidents of the county associa-
ton and custodians of township and |
city collections.
They also appointed a committee
consisting of county clerk, county treas
urer and district clerk to apportion the
of Dickinson county among
the several townships and city precincts
in the ratio of their assessment rolls.
This apportionment averages less
than SAL to each precinct and is as
follows:
