THE LINCOLN DRAMA.
Closing Act of "Dissatis-
faction on Monday. i
MANVILLE PEOPLE ARE MAD.
Party Leaders Blamed-District Court
Doings-Narrow Escape.

The closing act in Lincoln's Republican
drama, Dissatisfaction, was produced
Monday by the regular cast of characters,
the Town Council, when they again
Ignored the village of Manville and ap-
third member of the Board of License
Commissioners. Manville business men
and taxpayers, irrespective of political
parties are vexed, and do not hesitate to
speak In rash terms of the recent work of
the present Town Council.
Manville Is on the tail end of Lincoln,
1-2 miles from the village of Central
Falls, and 1t takes time and money to go
their to transact business.
Said Republican taxpayer Of Manville
Thursday: "We as citizens asked that one
| of the Board of Sewer Commissioners be
| appointed from Manville. We were
ignored. The same way with the License
Commissioners. We have sewers at Man
vile and when an application Is made go
to Central Falls. There are no regular
hours for the clerks and frequently trip
Is made which is OF no use. Regarding
the License Commissioners, we have IL or
/ IA licensed places who do, as elsewhere a
good Sunday business, and what we want
| member of the Board herefor is for the
J benefit of the general public"
Matters are getting more serious than
some Republican leaders anticipate.
Manville today gets more benefit from
the city OF Woonsocket, 3 1.2 miles at the
north, than from the town of Lincoln.
There is strong agitation among level
headed taxpayers to petition the General
Assembly to be set of from Lincoln and
be made part of the city of Woonsocket.
| Regarding Sunday liquor selling an ex-
Town Councilman said: "With the ex-
| oeption of the windows there is no differ
| eucs from any other day OF the week.
Business Is done openly, and frequently
drunken people are seen on the streets.
There is liquor officer here, but he Is one
OF the choice ones"
| This condition Of things means sport at
the June town election from this quarter.
Party Leaders b AIMED.
The TRIBUNE gave more facts in the
leading article Wednesday evening than
some people wanted to hear; nevertheless
1t was the truth. II Councilman Bridge
house knows OF place violating the law,
why does he not make a complaint, and
likewise an example of such. He Is a
town official and a man above all others
who should first practice what he
breaches. The Council are not to blame.
1t is the leaders and party bosses who de-
mand OF the Council to appoint such per-
sons to all the positions of special liquor
officers at fat salary and no work. The
Councils hands are tied, and why? Be-
cause The bosses cater to the element who
can throw the town OF Lincoln to either
party. These "specials" are as much of a
farce as are the "Pork Pie' licenses.
Their reports are like "The Letter That
Never Came" The Council at their next
next meeting should have large painted
sign displayed, with the words, "No
Bosses Interviewed Today" 1t should be
understood that the regular district po-
lice are not a faction of this work In any
particular, whatever.
