ROAD AND SEWER BOARDS NEE

ROAD AND SEWER BOARDS NEE .
The Matter of Extending the Trunk
Sewer Beyond the City Limits Dis
cussed
Mayor Webster called the sewer
board to order last evening, Commits
sioners Coughlan, BoughtOn, Jackson
ReIley and Tracy being present. The
orders for sewers on North and Pine
streets were read, but action was de-
ferred until the condition of the ground
would be such that the work might be
more easily done. Assessments for
sewers were laid on the property owners
Of Spark street. The extending OF the
trunk sewer down the bed of the Manga
tuck river to a point below the city
limits was considered, and the city
engineer was instructed to furnish plans
and estimates. A petition for a sewer
in Vine street from Wool to Division
streets was laid over. J. w. Gaffney
was given permission to connect several
houses on land between Bronson and
Hawkins streets with the Hawkins street
sewer, when he shall comply with the
requirements of the city engineer.
The road board was. then called to
order. The regular bills were read and
ordered paid, except the bill OF II. N
Blakeslee, amounting to $500, for
sprinkling the streets around the green.
This bill was considered too large and
the board determined to investigate 1t.
A communication was read from the
Plymouth Granite company offering the
city 5000 paving blocks at low figure.
The city clerk was instructed to IND out
what they could be purchased for.
George S. Abbott was given permits
sion to connect a new house on Vine
street with the water main. Mr. Abbott
was reprlmanded for opening the street
without a permit and on motion OF
Commissioner Tracy it was voted that in
future special prices should be charged
for permits to open streets, for house
connections.
The city attorney was instructed to
give an opinion concerning the building
If a sewer through the land OF John
Finley on East Main street for the pur-
pose of carrying off surface water.

steps to relieve the property owners near
the corner of Stone and Quarry streets
from the overflow of a spring near that
point.
The street inspector reported the cost
of crushing the stone for the streets last
season at 50 ,0551 Is.
The mayor appointed Commissioners
Kelley and Tracy committee to settle
minor matters pertaining to the board,
to have a general oversight over the
work on the streets, and investigate all
complaints, after which the board ad-
journed.

sELECTMAN GRIZZLIES STATEMENT

SElEC MAN GREllG'S > A EMEN ].
The Democratic Members, Being in the
Majority, Are Responsible For the
Action of the Board.
The democratic members of the board
of selectmen, supported as they are by
the opinion of the town attorneys, in
the position they have taken regarding
the appointment of a clerk, feel that a
contemporaries criticism of their action
is unfair, and the following plain state
ment of the case is given:
Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
AS majority of the board of select
men, the public will hold us responsible
fore absolutely necessary that we should
be made aware of everything pertaining
to the work in the office. This state of
affairs can only be brought about by
having in this office a trusty clerk in
sympathy with the ma iOrity.
That we have the right to the appoint
ment of such a clerk must be the honest
opinion of every unbiased mind after
investigating the law relating to it; more
so, when it is considered that there was
no regular appointment made until our
action.
This is practically conceded by the
action of our opponent in claiming for
himself the power of being the sole ar
bitter of this question of appointing a
clerk.
This is certainly an exceptional claim
to make, as in every action taken by the
board the law states that every member
shall be cognizant of the action and the
majority shall decide.

Lawn Tennis, -"


There are many remarkable successes
on the road this season, but none exceed
the popularity enjoyed by the latest
New Yerk success. "She Couldn't Marry
Three" Press and public accord it an
ovation wherever presented. The
scenic effects are superb, the story an
intense and interesting one, unlike the
many unreasonable and unnatural plays
with which the public are surfeited. 1t
is full of hearty laughter, bright and
catch music, the most sensational
climaxes.
The company is one of the strongest
on the road, the scenery the most
magnificent ever built, and as the cur
tain rises on each act, prolonged ap-
plause attest the public appreciation of
each beautiful stage picture. The great
scenic artists, Messrs Daniel Crimmins
and Herbert Speck feel justly proud of
their work on this production.

You See

There is something wrong with the law
that governs our selectmen, because some
times we have two superintendent of
highways when there should be only one.
Then, again, the selectmen will employ
two book keepers when the law does not
make provision for one, and the man who
sweeps the crossing pays the bill
KELLY says there is remedy. Ask
the legislature to pass a law that each Sc
lectman should furnish bond that every
dollar he votes to pay out in excess of
what is appropriated at the annual town
meeting, that the bondsman will be held
for the same except what is paid to the
poor.
This would be a good scheme for the
city, too. Have you seen KELLY'S fat
