CENTRAL FALLS.
Another Case Of Republican Unfairness.--
Child sent To the state AImshouse.

i
Another instance of the unfairness OF
the Republicans when they dropped
James T.. Degnan from the personal
property list. Mr.. Degnan is OF the firm
| Of Leighton q Degnan, grocers, who have
well-stocked store on Central street and
it seems strange il Mr.. Degnan has not
got personal property enough to be al
lowed to remain on the list. He has got
the property, and while they are dropping
the Democrats in this manner there are
on the lists Republicans on who have
| assigned their wages.
| One is George Patt, whose name appears
in the tax book and who assigned his
wages to Charles T. Gooding on the 23d of
September.
EAE Child sent 10 the Almhouse.
Last week John and Margaret Druing
were sent to the State Workhouse, John to
work a sentence OF e and costs, and his
wife Margaret was given six months for
| begging on the street. At the court
| Druing asked the judge to give him six
months too but the court would not. They
never once thought of their little boy who
| is but two years OF age. Overseer OF the
Poor sent the little fellow to the State
Almshouse today.
Probate Court.
A regular meeting of the probate court
was held this morning.
The probating of the will OF Mowry
| Smith was continued until this afternoon.

Abbie M. Harris was appointed admins
istratix on the estate of George w. Harris.

Some minor business was transacted.
This Is Economy"
The economical" Council refused to
| pay the bill of the committee appointed
| to revise the town ordinances, but Satur-
| day it paid $40 to the "investigating"
| committee for political work. The revis-
| ing of the ordinance was something that
| was needed and it took months of the
committees time. The ordinances were
looked up and also the records of the
Council for years back. The taxpayers
would be willing to pay "investigating"
committee for their services il they had
went back as far as the committee on the
revision of the ordinances did.
The idea OF paying 1910 for a faked-up
report that covered only the past two
| years and could all be written out by one
of the committee in three hours is enough
to show the gang up in their true light.
1t would have suited the purpose Of tho
| n l;,o L.. hax had
so. They should now pay ex-senator
Chace for that "impromtu" speech.
