Civil Service Reform should be Applied to
by Local Oficers-AiI the News

Dy Local Onicers-All the News.
1t would be good thing for this town
IL the officers appointed by the "economi-
cal" Council had to pass a civil service ex-
animation. IL that was the case some OF
the present officers would be out of Job.
Here is a chance for the Republicans who
claim to be in favor of reform at any and
all times. The General Assembly has
granted them anything and everything
asked for Why not apply to have each
officer app inted by the Council pass a
rigid civil service examination? II such
bill was passed there would probably be
scarcity OF eligible candidates for the
offices now in existence in the town.
Are They Losing Iuter,st9
One year ago this month the Business
Mems Association was organized under
very favorable circumstances The use OF
the rooms in which the organizations has
met during the past twelve months was
given free Of charge by Mr.. Fales and the
interest shown by that gentleman tended
in no small way to keep the associations
head above water
cEnough business men signed the char.
tel. list and paid the usual tee TO com
pletely furnish the rooms and the aeso-
citation started along well and grew
stronger until now, when its first anni-
versary rolls around, the people find that
the number OF improvements secured, or
started, are surprisingly large.
The credit of being the first TO aqitato
the forming of Business Mems Asso-
citation in this village Is due to a few
public spirited men such as John II. Bar
ber Fred Il. Philips, a. o Hull, James
Callaghan, Jr., DIR. A. p. Carpenter, o. W.
Wilmarth, and, last but not least the
presiding officer, Myron Fish.
There II no question but that the asso-
citation has done some excellent work and
that very large field is still open to them
so that it seems too bad TO see the lack of
interest that has bGen displayed ut the
last few meetings.
The First Annual.
Last evening the first annual ball OF the
Lincoln Retail Liquor Dealers Association
was held in Fales Hall, Central street, and
was decided success IN every particular.
The bali had somewhat the appearance
OF family affair. OF course this c oes not
apply to he young men who brought their
best girls, but the married mem bers OF
association, and they are in the majority,
brought their wives and children. Ihero-
fore, everybody felt at home and more
pleasant affair OF similar nature is not
on record in this village.
The inspiring strains OF delicious music,
u,h fpI, fr.,
Alpine Orchestra, were FIRST heard shortly
after o'clock, when the grand march was
formed and led by General Floor Manager
George j. Brit and wife, followed by over
one hundred couples.
After the grand march opened the ball.
and from that time until the last num-
ber was over, which was when the roosters
oegan to crow, the merriment did not
cease. There were friends of the asso-
citation present from Pawtucllet and
Providence and all returned with very
fiattoring opinion of the hospitality and
coed nature OF the Lincoln Liquor
Dealers. Following are the committees
whose labors made the affair Il success:

remembered.
