lsincoiu toWu Souncil WAS nelu Mouuay
afternoon. II was as usual half hour
after the time when President Wilbur
called the members to order and six were
present. Councilman Smith was abb
sent.
The business opened with rather poor
prospect for those holding bills against
the town, especially the highway bills of
M. Ballou opened the arguments. 1t was
then stated that the present money
trouble would necessitate the laying over
of many of these bills. Councilman Jollie
moved not to pay any bills, which was so
voted. Then the bill of Joseph Guertin
came up and that was the cause of further
trouble.
A bill OF Highway Surveyor Fairbanks
| OF S930.40 came up, and Mr..
Schiller wanted II paid. Coun-
Gilman Comstock then said that
1t was not right to pay bills In some parts
OF the town and let others go. Certain
persons have been at the northern part of
the town and looked after work which Is
none of their business, and II such work
Is continued he was ready to step down
and out. He could tell who these people
were, but for peace sake would keep quiet.
Councilman Jordan said that he had
some bills he would like to get through,
and would move that all bills would be al.
lowed. Information was received that
| Treasurer Moies had money sufficient to
pay all bills up to the time highway work
was stopped. The vote Of Councilman
Jordan's was rescinded and IL was voted
to pay all bills.
| The regular report of the sewer COM
missioners and the bills OF s9sO.67, were
allowed and ordered paid.
] A petition to relay the highway on the
Albion road was granted, signed by the
taxpayers, and committee of Frank Man
chester, William ID. Aldrich and George
T. jerks were appointed to do the work.
The action against Fales Bros. for
nuisances was ordered withdrawn.
Invitation Of the Central Falls Veteran
Firemen's Association to visit Worcester
August II was accepted.
Building permits were issued to
Jonathan Hill, st. Jacques Cartier Society,
Calixter Teallon and Ludger German.
A statement of Treasurer Moies of the
finances caused several inquiries of a
sharp nature. Comstock did not approve
of the manner in which the report was
presented, and the report was continued
to the next meeting. The resignation of
John Moore as liquor officer was ac-
cepted.
| CLERK Crawford then read long letter
from Rev. Father Farrelly of the Church
of the Holy Trinity. The clergyman
called the attention to vast amount of
illegal Sunday liquor selling In the west.
ern district OF the village of Central Falls;
how the law was openly violated by men
who have a license and were allowed to
conduct the business on the Sabbath
without molestation, that while special
officers were picking berries the doors Of
these So called hotels were admitting
customers, among who were many young
men. The sights on Dexter street of a
Sunday are disgraceful, and, said he,
these are hotels simply in name. He
urged the Council to take immediate
action to suppress the illegal traffic. He
wrote from personal knowledge as the To-
cality mentioned In his letter Is In his
| parish.
President Wilbur said that there were
special officers to look after such work
and they should be made to do their duty.
He said that some respectable dealers who
do a legitimate business were finding
much fault about the granting Of some of
these hotel licenses, which are but blind
| for good Sunday trade. He thought
| that some OF the dealers were observing
| the Sunday law.
Town Sergeant Keene, who was present,
explained the raid of Sunday morning
for sale was Illegal; that when he brought
the crowd into court Sunday morning, he
could not procure warrants as the Judge
was in a hurry to leave, and the prisoners
were released upon their own recogni-
zance; that some of them did not turn up
Monday at court, and when the warrants
for five present were asked for His Honor
demanded him to furnish surety In the
sum OF $50 upon each case. He would be
responsible II the cases were lost.
He asked ifltbe Illegal sellers were prose-
cuted would the Council go surety for the
costs. The matter of making a decrease
In Sunday selling was referred to the
I liquor officers.
DIR. Malo, health officer. stated that
Louis Blais, grocer of Garfield street, had
a barn where eleven families reside near,
and In the cellar are six swine which are
nuisance. Blais had paid no attention to
notices, and the Council ordered a notice
served upon him by the town sergeant to
abate such within 4S hours.
