Next Thursday the special appropria-
tion meeting will be held to replenish the
empty treasury. Nearly every account
has been overdrawn especially those for
town Offices and miscellaneous expenses
Many of the town officers now hold
orders for money due ON salaries which
they cannot get cashed, although the
appropriation was larger than last year
and there are yet three months remain
ing of the fiscal year.
The Republicans will Thursday give the
old excuse that the Democrats had over
drawn the accounts and left them bills To
pay. This may be true, i'm some eases, as
the appropriation of money was delayed
by the Republicans until a decision was
rendered by the Supreme Court, which,
they claim, was in their favor. But even
IL the accounts were overdrawn the extra
appropriation was large enough to cover
it,
There will be more money paid out in
salaries this year han ever in the history
OF the town.
Commissioners will be appointed at the
meeting To draw up the bonds and put
them on the market in accordance with
an act passed by the General Assembly in
May, 1891. The town is now 100000 IN
debt and the receipts are not equal to the
running expenses.
lie Couldn't Write.
Another instance that shows the admir-
able judgment used by the town council
i'm the selection of town officers was
brought to light yesterday when a special
officer brought n man be fore the district
court, and had To make his mark on the
warrant, being unable to write his name.
II this is the standard of men appointed
as town officers it is very evident that they
did not pass a civil service reform exami-
nation.
Not long ago one OF the special officers
brought in n boy rine years of age on a
charge of reyeling after keep
ing the warrant ten days before serving
because he did not have business in Cen-
tral Falls.
