TOWN MEETINGS.

The absurdity OF Lincoln continuing
the town meeting system Of govern
ment was never so conspicuous AZ yes
terday. Here was a meeting OF tax
payers composed Of about 100 men,
There are probably ten times that
number eligible TO participate. They
we're not forbidden to attend to be sure
but if they did they could not have
been accommodated.
The first more to a recognition OF
this was made when those present
voted 10 appoint committee to divide
the town into two districts for taxation
purposes. OF course, the probable
ultimate end of Central Falls will be
annexation to Pawtucket and the first
step was taken yesterday.
The idea that the taxpayers control
the appropriations is also absurd.
Home Rule is myth in this case. A
coterie Of those interested work mp a
sentiment and then crowd into the
Town House. The Accommodations are
limited What they want goes and the
rest gets a black eye.
The taxpayers are better represented
in a municipal form Of government be
cause all sections are equally repre-
sented then.
The management OF the Republican
party can not cry stop thief 10 the
Democratic party any more for they
have spent 30 extravagantly that the
debt limit is already exceeded and the
only salvation for the town is an act OF
the Legislature for relief.

Some people who supported and voted
for Wheaton Cole for the General As
sembly, as representative from this
city, took an absurdly inconsistent
stand at the hearing on the exemption
from taxation act, considering the side
Mr. Cole took in the matter before he
was unseated. The stand of Cole is and
was well known. He voted in the last
Assembly against exemption, and he
also in this present one voted TO repeal
the law passed last month.
