After the canvass OF the voting lists
Monday evening the town clerk was
ordered TO make up the voting lists for
the seven new districts as soon as possi-
BILE. II was decided to call special ap-
preparation meeting for the purpose of
replenishing the telescoped town treasury,
on March 10th, at o'clock, and the clerk
was ordered TO issue warrants for the
same.
rhe bottom has been out Of the treas
ury for some time and the council was on
~ waiting to canvass the lists and have
the seven new ones prepared before call
ing the meeting. 1t was something that
had to be done. 1t looks queer for the
economical" council TO be Obliged 10
call special meeting after the appropria-
tions made being as large in total as those
OF previous years, and the amount Of mark
down Is no more than usual. There must
have been hole somewhere.
From the manner in which the mem-
bers of the council and their friends
talked at first il was thought by some
that there would be large balance car
ried over 10 next year. But the majority
knew that these "bluffsn were made for
effect. There is balance, but il Is on
the wrong side OF the ledger. Judging
from appearances the council might be
called anything but economical. For
months there have been orders issued by
the town clerk against certain appropria-
tions in the hands OF individuals unable
to get a cent on them except by discount
This sort OF management gives the i'm
preston that the people will make
change next June.
