Inc Work TO come DefOre the IOWn
Council at next Mondays meeting means
great deal, and there promises to be not
aIfew disappointed ones In the appoint
meDts which II is stated will be made at
this meeting. Whether for lear OF Great
ing dissension In the ranks of the Re-
publicans or not approving of the candl-
dates presented to them for some i'm
portant officers Is not publicly stated, but
1t is given out that some OF the Council
think differently than the board of
dictators.
1t Is the wish OF some OF the Council
men not to have repetition OF last Mon
days "squali," and every measure will be
brought to bear upon the dissatisfied ones
to prevent It. Several changes were made
which are said to be against the wishes OF
the leaders and why they were not inter-
viewed In regard to these changes Is a
question they cannot understand.
1.-The Council made some good but many
poor changes. A change Of competent
men for those who are simply after an
Office for what there is In the situation, Is
not, In the minds of fairminded taxpayers
good judgement, and will not aid to any
great measure In the transaction Of the
towns business.
The nearly entire slaughtering of the
board of sewer commissioners was great
surprise to the old members, who were
all candidates for reelection, and only
one of whom got back. It is commonly
reported that ex President James Andrew,
a L. Sol q /. Axa -
for the year ensuing, does not wish to be
burdened with any more town business,
now that he Is free from the duties of a
Councilman. He Is entitled to credit as
the best presiding officer that Lincoln has
had on the Council for several years.
A fact much commented upon at the
present time is that two meetings of the
new Council has been held and
the several committees of the members
have not vet been announced. There was
left over important business for some OF
these committees to complete, but their
selections still hang fire. Ii Is jocosely
stated that President Wilbur desired time

comment, butsthe party leaders do not

Committee. The removal of Benjamin

what VIII he the Result?
Several friends OF the men who figured
In the fight reported In these columns last
evening were at Pawtucket Friday even
ing in consultation with lawyer In re-
gard to the case, and II is possible that a
suit may be brought for damages. They
claim they have the names of several well
known citizens who saw the affair and
who are willing to testify that the arrest
was uncalled for. The men arrested admit
they had been drinking, but when ar
rested were not drunk and were having
smoke In the entryway previous to
going to their work for the night on the
sewer shaft. They had eaten supper and
were waiting for their midnight meal
to take with them. Murphy, the
man who was arrested by Patrolman
Walsh, is now confined to his bed suffer-
ing from a severe sprained ankle. When
arrested he walked to the station all
right but claims that he was kicked. The
affair is an unpleasant one, to say the
least, and should a case be opened 1t
would bring out some interesting facts.
Have Ordered New Clothes.
The permanent fire department men
will In the Fourth of July parade make a
| good showing In number and an excellent
appearance. They have voted to procure
regulation suits with nickel plated but
tons, also the regular style cap. James II.
Gray representing Jerome Kennedy q Co.,
will furnish the suits, and b. A. Reynolds
Il Son the caps. The several pieces of ap-
psratus are receiving special attention and
the taxpayers will see a department that
they may well feel proud Of.
They Were Successful.
Advices from Washington state that
William Balloon, II. M. Wall and Henry
Walker were the successful candidates In
the recent civil service examination for
carriers position at the local Office. Should
any change be made in the regular force
one OF the above will be chosen to fill the
vacancy.
Charlie Likes It.
Charles Baker, who is now located at
the Watch Hill pharmacy, has been home
for a brief visit to parents. The ocean
breeze and pure air have made much i'm
provement In his health. He speaks In
the highest manner Of the firm with
which he Is connected and IL among the
swell trade Of this great Summer resort.
